  The shots are a lot cheaper than dying of rabies, which is often done in a hospital.

    die in a hospital? In this economy? No thank you, I’d rather die at home.

      A coworker of mine says, “If I’m meant to to be in a hospital, I’ll wake up there.”

        “Or die at home from a curable illness.”

      If you get rabies, you might as well elect to not be hospitalized. What’s the point of trying to stretch out your life for 2 or 3 more days of agony?

      Seriously, a couple years ago I asked an ER doctor to just let me die. I have insurance but the issue was air medevacc.

      It’s bankruptcy expensive.

      Don’t be silly, you can’t afford to die there either.
