I always hate to hear stuff like this. Wear your seat belts and be patient. What is another 5 minutes on your trip when it makes a difference between life and death? Or worse, not dying and suffering for months and months before your body finally gets too septic and finally gives out. As a trauma nurse I have learned that a lot of family members are not ready to say goodbye and they allow medicene and machines to prolong the inevitable. The inevitable will happen, it just takes longer. Please be safe and do everything possible to avoid putting yourself and loved ones in that position…
