Do you know someone who had a doctor assist

[urgent]

I see stories where people claim a doctor came and gave medication to assist in dying for their family member. Do you know anyone in the US who did this? I don't know how they found someone.

That sounds too good to be true

A lot of states have assisted suicide. A doctor can't kill you with an injection or anything, but in a lot of places the terminally ill can drink an N concoction.

How lucky they are. There's no sympathy for ordinary suicides. We're on our own.

Oh I didn't make it clear I don't mean applying for MAiD or outside the US I mean people who in the US knew a doctor who gave them a lethal dose

Oh, "under the table" euthanasia. Props to any doctor willing to take that risk. They make a lot of money and have a lot to lose.

I've never even heard of that being done, I find it hard to believe any doctor would ever risk it. Even in places where there is maid it takes a while to "convince" doctors you "deserve" it, what would it take to "convince" a doctor where it's illegal? I have heard of doctors pulling the plug on life support for patients in coma, vegetative state or locked-in and getting caught and punished, but I guess that's a different story.
