Austin was watching Thor while
I was reading various articles.
Me: I know this is off topic, but I don’t want resuscitated in extreme cases.
Austin: I would want medical professionals to do everything they can to save your life.
Me: Medical professionals can break your ribs in resuscitation attempts. I don’t want that.
Austin: That’s just cracked ribs. You can recover from that.
Me: I know. I mean, I don’t want to be hooked up to machines. I don’t want feeding tubes. If there’s no brain activity, I don’t want CPR. I don’t want it if there’s no chance of meaningful recovery.
Austin, still unsettled: Well okay. [After a pause.] I’m glad that Thor inspired you to tell me this.
