This is an extraordinarily spare piece. I think the declarative sentences really contrast with the uncertainty felt by both the narrator and the reader, creating a sense of tension which lasts long after you finish reading the piece.
Lovely!

I agree with Denis, certainly beautifully written.
As an almost octogenarian, though, I must say that I have put DO NOT (all those things) on my forms, that is exactly what I mean.
All that messing about is what I want to avoid no matter what doctor feels he ought to be helping me live on. Prolonging life is not always in the best interests of the patient - and the patient's best interests are what doctors are supposed consider.
