Miriam Lancaster, 84, of Vancouver, Canada, went to the ER after waking up in pain and claims a doctor suggested medical assistance in dying (MAiD), a legal process in Canada where eligible adults can request medical assistance to end their lives. Lancaster was shocked by the suggestion, as she hadn't yet received a diagnosis.
