Q: My mother is sick and all the doctors who examined her said that the medical treatment she needs is not available in (Part No. 24; Page No. 440) private hospitals. They recommend that she should be admitted to one of the state-owned hospitals to receive treatment, because the medication she takes is only sedatives and not an effective cure against the disease. My mother is old and she does not want to go to hospital. On our part, we can neither convince nor force her to do so, as she might get angry at us. Nevertheless, the disease is getting worse. I discussed the matter with my elder brother, but to no avail. However, if she is admitted into the hospital, we can no longer see or visit her. We are also concerned about the family's reputation. My mother is suffering terribly from this disease.My question is: Is negligence toward my mother's illness and leaving her without effective medication a kind of benevolence to her? Are we to blame regarding our children who live with her in the same house despite our knowledge that her disease is infectious? Should they be separated from my mother according to the doctors' opinions?
