Eli5: Why there are many dying patiens feels suddenly much better and die soon after?
In: 55
A reasonable hypothesis is that as somebody nears death, the mechanisms that were fighting to “fix” the body have nothing left to work on. Imagine your stomach is failing. Your body might use all its resources on it, but then it just shuts down. There’s nothing left to do. So all that energy spent is now available again. Of course, without functioning organs, death is hours away.
