The sickly old man lay on a bed, his body covered in bruises and cuts. He was malnourished and weak, but for once he appeared healthy and lively. As the nurses looked over him, they couldn't help but wonder what had brought this man to this state of weakness. Suddenly, one of them noticed something strange happening under the bed. She touched her fingers to his chest and felt a heavy breathing. They were about to tell him that he was sick, when they heard the sound of an alarm being set. They rushed to see who was on call and what was happening. It turned out that it was the old man's family coming for his funeral. He had been in bed for days now, refusing all medical treatment. As they arrived at the funeral home, the old man's eyes darted around nervously as he tried to make sense of everything. The nurse introduced them to the family and explained what was happening next. The old man was lying on a makeshift bed with his head lowered, trying to hide his emotions from his wife. He had been suffering from an infection in his lungs for months now, but he refused to let it get any worse. As they left the funeral home, the nurses were amazed by the sight of their patient. They knew that there was more to come, and that this old man was not going down easily.
