The medical staff at the hospital could only give Lee half treatments that left him suffering in great pain.
The doctor who eventually had to make the decision about what to do was Lee’s grandson-in-law. He later wrote about it and it was published in the newspaper.
Ultimately, the grandson-in-law decided to do what was necessary to save Lee’s life, so he would not linger in great pain. Lee lived a normal life for several years after that and was able to enjoy many family events.
The grandson-in-law eventually asked Lee if in hindsight, he would want his life saved if he had to do it all over again and he said no.
