aaarrrrrggghhh!

Doc:so, looks like your son most probably has leukemia as we told you earlier.

Dad:(quiet)

Doc:i need your consent to do further invasive tests and you should know about treatment options.

Dad:(quiet)

Doc:i know this is very hard for you to come to terms with right now but we need to save him.

Dad:i don't want him to suffer anymore.

Doc:but it's still too early to opt out of any treatment....he might have good chances.

Dad:can you guarantee he won't die?

Doc:i can't.but we can't just not do anything now.let me go through treatment options for him, pros and cons of it all....i'll get the oncologist to talk to you.

Dad:no.no more pricking doc.one more needle mark on him and i'm taking him home!

Doc:but you can't just not let us do anything.what's the purpose of him getting admitted at all then??

Dad:i don't know.but just keep him happy here....

Doc:??but i thought you're not letting us do anything.

Dad:yeah.....but i shall come see him everyday.

Doc:??and yet why would you want to keep him here if you don't want us to do anything for him.

Dad:he's in good hands....but you'll let him go when his time comes.

Doc:you can't give up this early!we still can do so much more for him....

Dad:no.one more mark, and i i will sue you, doc.

Doc:????????

Dad:i hope we understand each other.

Doc:you're a dad and i know what you must be going through now.but if you're unhappy with me maybe i should let someone else manage you kid?

Dad: oh no....you're good.just so long as we understand each other....

Doc:so are you saying that you would be responsible for your actions and agree to sign for no active resuscitation.

Dad:no.i am not signing anything.

Doc:(if i could do a bone marrow aspiration on you, i would you moron!and i'd make sure you feel all the pain in the world and think of what your son has to go through because you're being a p....!sue me????talk about being grateful, you lousy cow!you have no right whatsoever to decide when a child should be left to die....even if you're the Dad.i am not playing God but i know when a kid still has a chance!And you're not even man enough to be responsible for your actions, dumbass!Why won't you listen????!Ohhhh i am so gonna use the child's protection act!)
