    What I want to know is what sort of cutting-edge medical voodoo based technology is keeping him alive?

      Not even cutting edge. Just the normal shit everybody gets. We’re…REALLY good at keeping old people alive these days. Like shockingly good.

      Unfortunately in the case of some.

      Sincerely, a critical care nurse

        Walter Reed has the absolute best medical staff and facilities anywhere in the world.

        Meanwhile, one of the nurses at my family’s hospital decided it was okay to give my mother a double dose of chemo since she would be missing an appointment next month.

        My better half works in a nursing home and… agree. Too many are kept alive long after their minds and quality of life disappear.

        Nah, Cheney is kept alive with technology, like Darth Vader. McConnell is kept alive through dark magic, like Emperor Palpatine. Totally different.
