My father was a patient transport driver, he always told me of the patients who they knew or suspected were on their last trips/transfers between care facilities and hospitals, they would take detours to any special places they wanted to see, we lived near the ocean with some nice rainforest and mountain ranges, so they used to get different requests for nature or locations from marriages and the like.
The workers who do this for the patients deserve a medal
I was in the hospital for almost 45 days when I was diagnosed with cancer; halfway through was transferred to another hospital and I was pretty weak at the time but the EMT’s who transported me let me sit outside and enjoy the fresh air for a bit before we went. It was a perfectly crisp fall morning, felt amazing after being stuck inside in a bed for so long.
In the Netherlands we have "stichting Ambulance wens" (non profit ambulance wish) who specifically takes people for their last wish. They go to the beach with them, a theme park, whatever they want. It's beautiful.
