After about 1 month, his condition was worsening and he was concerned his cognition (thinking and decision making) and behavior might be impacted as the cancer had spread to his brain.  He expressed a desire for physician-assisted death.  He lived in a state where this option was legal and his hospice health care team recommended he speak with his primary care physician.  Ernest called Dr. Fiser, his primary care physician for the past 25 years.  Fiser and Ernest discussed his desire for physician-assisted death.  Dr. Fiser is strongly morally opposed to physician-assisted death and tells Ernest that he will not prescribe the medication because doing so would run counter to his deeply held beliefs that health care professionals should seek to heal and should never end a life.
