I'm sorry you had to go through with this. My husband almost died twice last year. One of those times he was put on a life flight to get to the nearest big hospital (45 miles away). He made it!

Here's the thing. He was capable of expressing how he hated hospitals, didn't want to be there, and refused some tests as unnecessary. Those tests ended up being done AFTER he left the hospital, months later, and it would have been easier if he'd had them done WHILE IN THE HOSPITAL.

So...I had to allow him to make his choices, but he was wrong. (Not saying you were though!)

Fortunately he revived. So I feel sympathy for your wife, watching someone she loved close to death. It's pretty awful.
