Should advanced dementia be considered a terminal illness?

It's sad that because of the economic nature of Health Care being Capitalistic in the United States that Medicine is based on only those treatments that carry a patent, and are never encouraged to prevent or cure as there is little profit to be had in either when long-term treatment is infinitely more profitable

Sadly that is true but not in all cases, one of my clients of five years who recently passed, he was 90 had a wonderful Doctor who was into alternative medicine, unfortunately this area lost a wonderful Doctor, he was also the head of nurse training at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan, decided to retire at age 50 and moved his family to Florida two years ago, he still has two teenagers and two in college, he said he has made enough money and wanted to devote his time to family. good for him. Sure he is missing our beloved Detroit Red Wings, he was a major fan.
