The first part is medically inaccurate and the second part is absurd, unfounded speculation. The whole post is unnecessarily harsh, in my view. My late mother received the very best medical care well into her 90s, and from a public health care system, yet. Surely a former president deserves no less. But the metastasis is likely very bad news. The doctors can and will do everything possible, as they must by the oath they swore, but what is possible may be limited.
