Aid-in-Dying Laws Don’t Guarantee That Patients Can Choose To Die:
Shavelson, director of a Berkeley, Calif. consulting clinic, said he has heard
from more than 200 patients, including dozens who were stunned to learn that local health
care providers refused to participate in the state’s End of Life Options Act.
“Those are the ones who could find me,” said Shavelson, who heads Bay Area End of Life Options and is a
longtime advocate of assisted suicide. “Lack of access is much more profound than anyone is
talking about.”

Awesome! KP did not have their act together down in Fresno, which made Charlene's Dad's last few worse than they could have been.

The only provider in Northern California that had their act together on day one was Kaiser
Permanente. Have I mentioned how much I adore KP? They've made Tom's participation in their AID
program about as possible as it could possibly be.
