Thread: Casey Kasem in critical condition

I can remember listening to the top forty countdown with my cassette player/radio combo waiting for Casey to play my favorite songs so I could hit record. Many of those had a little cut of his voice as I had to guess they were coming up, it was miles from the digital age. Then of course the long distance dedication, where I always hoped a girl I met on a family vacation would be thinking of me.

Having cared for parents with Dementia and dealing with some other end of life issues I think this highlights the importance of very explicitly spelling out your wishes before getting ill. Withholding treatment is seldom an easy decision, and I don't think the courtroom or arguing with family makes it any easier.
