not the machine....
Some background. When pple are dying, the relatives/friends seem more concerned in watching the machines that he/she is hooked up on. Watching and/or waiting for the point where the monitor beeps, or the numbers fall. It is as if they are watching the stock market movements.
They have "tied" their attention to the machine and its readings.
Yet the patient is still lying in front of them. Should not the attention be focused on the patient instead?
Instead of worrying over the time of death, or the readings on the machine, attention should be paid and given to the patient. To show love and concern before the passing on... and not when it is too late
