RIP Sunny Garcia?

positive is him sending a message of what happens not speaking out if you need help on suicide. Here's the other side of it in all it's raw form. Sunny was a brutally honest guy. well, he's again being brutally honest. not in words but images.
I would not have done any different in the same situation, but those pics makes me feel sick
that's the doc, nurses, emt, hospital's job. to try to save him.I'm not going to be popular for saying this, but in retrospect, it seems like a very selfish thing of his family / doctors to 'save' him.

I know, but it gets a little more complex and deep / philosophical when we discuss 'first do no harm', and who determines what quality of life is.
What was the reality show with him, Danny Fuller, Damian Hobgood and others? Anyways, he walked up to one of the McNamara's, who was sitting in a truck with a broken leg and punched him in the face. Isn't that how it went down? Another time he chased Neco up the beach after a heat... with Neco begging him off. Sunny punching on doors to judge's tower's doors after not agreeing with scores. From a certain angled perspective, it's tough to not think Karma has played a cruel hand to Sunny.
Having said that, the pictures are sad and disturbing and I can only hope that Sunny and his family and friends come thru this okay. I'm the same age as Sunny and his early surfing... so raw and radical, was an inspiration. His place in history is firmly planted.
Somebody should start writing a movie score for Sunny. RIP Andy... but Sunny's would be more colorful.
It can be important to reiterate these wishes every once an a while.
Making an intelligent, thoughtful, non-family member your legal healthcare surrogate is not generally a bad idea either.
IMHO it's actually a really good idea.
Especially if those who would be making decisions for you are on the emotionally weaker side.
Your family might end up hating them but ultimately it's about what YOU want and your suffering...and a lot of times family members can be more concerned with what THEY and their feelings want.
One thing though, anytime I've had someone designate their lawyer as their legal healthcare surrogate the lawyer would always choose to continue medical treatment no matter how futile. Just a thought.
