Jack Kevorkian, Dr. Death, Turns Chicken<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jack “Dr. Death” Kevorkian, the assisted suicide advocate has been hospitalized with pneumonia and kidney problems.<\/p>\n

In an apparent change of heart, the 82-year-old doctor announced that he wanted doctors to take every possible measure to keep him alive.<\/p>\n

“I don’t care if I have to suffer a long, lingering, painful death. \u00c2\u00a0I don’t care if the doctors have to use all the equipment they have. \u00c2\u00a0I don’t care if I single-handedly use up all the money in Obamacare. \u00c2\u00a0Keep me alive, damn it!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Although he was barely able to lift his head off his pillow, Kevorkian pointed to the machines next to his bed to make his wishes clear.<\/p>\n

“And don’t try anything funny with those machines.”<\/p>\n

“I’ve seen this young nurses and doctors eyeing them, snickering.”<\/p>\n

“Let’s give Doctor Death a taste of his own medicine.”<\/p>\n

“Well, I’m not having anything of it. \u00c2\u00a0In fact, take this pillow. \u00c2\u00a0I’ve used pillows to suffocate lots of–I mean, I’ve heard that people do that to old people sometimes<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

“Hey, that beeping sound, is that normal? \u00c2\u00a0I have no idea what these things do. \u00c2\u00a0I only know how to use machines to kill people, not keep them alive!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
