      My mother was admitted to the hospital due to Covid 19 and she had type two diabetic mellitus and she was also hypertensive. After a week of her admission i saw her deteriorating but had denial. Her doctor called us for a meeting to say that things are not looking good and asking us as a family that what should be done if she gets cardiac arrest. Should they resuscitate her and send her to the intensive care unit? or should they put her on morphine and on oxygen therapy? Deep down i knew that she was not going to make it and she was not a candidate for intensive care unit but i ended up saying that they should leave her to rest peacefully with dignity
