"Every Thanksgiving, […] tell everybody what you want in case you become incapacitated. […] It's not fair to leave that to your family, your wife, your kids." The interface of death and money generates the strangest of human behaviors Dr. Jack Kruse: "[…] I look at the angiogram, and they were told that this guy needs to have four-vessel CABG, and I'm going. . ." Robert Breedlove: "Can you tell us what that is. It's a quadruple bypass?" Dr. Jack Kruse: "Quadruple bypass. He's 83 years old. […] If I'm 83 years old, and I have some angina, I'm like, give me nitroglycerin, and I'll adjust my lifestyle appropriately. I'll go sit on the top of my roof. But you're not fucking cutting my chest open. I don't care if my wife, my kids, and everybody in the world wants me to do it. I don't care care if I have the best cardiac surgeon telling me that I'm an idiot. There is no fucking way I'm doing that. And if I go out, I'm cool. I'm going out on my terms. […] "I counsel my patients, every Thanksgiving, since I'm an American, we sit down and instead of saying grace, you tell everybody what you want in case you become incapacitated. Why? Because it's not fair to leave that to your family, to your wife, your kids." Robert Breedlove: "It takes the emotion out of the decision, right?" Dr. Jack Kruse: "Well not only that, but they're also incentivized." Robert Breedlove: "Right, right, right, right, right." Dr. Jack Kruse: "They're incentivized. Incentives create outcomes, my friend. I mean, aren't we back to the same story?" Robert Breedlove: "The interface of death and money generates the strangest of human behaviors." Dr. Jack Kruse: "But you know, people don't think about these things. They don't think that this can happen to them." Robert Breedlove: "Yeah."
