Of all the ones I've personally met, its a problem of doing too much to accommodate them.

They are prideful and stubborn people who've lived a full life and conquered it, and at the end often want to just be left alone to wither and rot away in their homes without fuss. But too many people want to shove them full of so many meds and pull them into treatments that they simply do not want, even if it gives them more time to live.
