so imix, if you found out that you have a complication that requires urgent surgery in order to save your life but the cost of this surgery is outrageously high and you know it would take your family a lifetime to come up with that kind of money to pay back any loan what would you do? would you tell them just forget about the surgery and just enjoy the little time u have left or would you want them to get the money by any necessary means to save your life?

there shouldn't be a price on a life.

Wait i did not know u have to pay for surgery or hospital bills in advance....get it don and worry about $$$ later son...remember the post earlier LIFE IS SHORT....

I would choose to die than put my family in debt. I wouldn't tell them what was wrong either...I have a close friend right now experiencing some of that. I would hope he chooses to live, but I would do otherwise myself.

thats what i tried to tell her but she didnt want to hear it

Do the Sugery you never know what the futue holds. After the surgery something very good could happen but you would never know if you don't do it.

if there is a possibility that you'd die anyway, whether you got the surgery or not, i'd choose not to have the surgery. the worse thing to have to do is worry about money and where it will come from. what's the point of doing the surgery then worrying yourself to death about how to pay for it afterwards? i won't put my family thru that.

i would definetly do the surgery and worry about the funds later...

depends on the problem, if its a problem that can be fixed and i can lead a normal life then i would have it... you have the rest of your life to pay it back (you substitute that for other stupid material possession we humans obsess about)

if it is a terminable illness and the surgery would just prolong my life... i would not put my family though that just to gain five more years to live. I would go to every fete, carnival, party and drink myself to a happy ending.

I agree that it depends on the severity of the problem. If the surgery allows me to live for say more than 10 or 20 years, then I would definitely try to gather the money to have it.

However, if the chances of my survival after the surgery are very slim, I won't do it. I , personally, am not afraid of death or dying. I don't look at it as a sad event anymore. I even feel comforted to know that my soul will be with the Lord. Life on this earth is a very short learning experience. I would hate for my family and friends to struggle to pay back this large debt on my account. I would just try to live out the rest of my days to the fullest.

I believe dat if something is suppose to happen
to you it would happen. And if I'm put in the position to Live or Die regardless of the length of time I have to live I wouldnt do the surgery
Because some doctors would tell you, you have 5 years to live and you may live for a month or 10 yrs so I wouldnt do it:) :) :) :) :)

I probably would not do the surgery....
