Charlie Jensen

Charlie Jensen is the father of Kirk Jensen.
==History==
Charlie came into the practice with his son, Kirk, who had a terminal lung virus. He hadn't been very compliant with his meds. At the practice, Kirk stopped breathing, so he was taken to the hospital and intubated. When he woke up, he pulled the tube out of his throat and said he didn't want to be intubated. He knew the tracheotomy was next and didn't want that. He asked Sam to let him die.
Charlie later called Sam to the hospital to ask him to put the tube back into Kirk's throat. Sam did so under pressure from Charlie. In order to keep Kirk from pulling the tube out again, they restrained him.
Sam later went back to the hospital and told Charlie that he wouldn't want to force someone he loved to live a life they couldn't deal with. Charlie agreed to let Sam remove the tube and he stayed with Kirk as he died.
