Yeah. It wasn't a good experience. The place I dealt with (which supposedly has a good reputation) seemed to feel that their mission was to medicate people into total unconsciousness leading to prompt death. Whether that was what the person wanted or not. It would be an excellent place to go to get around our laws against assisted suicide and as such it provides a useful service. But it was not at all a place to go to get support while you died at your own pace.
