Most people would rather die with their dogma than get well

Posted On June 9, 2006

My friends’ father in law is dying.  Something about his heart enlarging complicated with diabetes.  He’s had a heart bypass 9 years ago.

I’ve told him about the possibilities of other doctors and healing methods since their western medical doctors have apparently given up on him.

My friend says he doubts anyone in his wife’s family would listen.  I told him that if their doctors have given up, might as well try something else, something new.  My friend says it is out of his hands, the family dogma – belief in western medicine – is so strong, they would rather give up and let their father die.

Ho hum.  Another one bites the dust.
