Every time you think of experiencing suffering for others, you purify so much negative karma. Medical science does not do this, cannot help you do this. Medicine itself cannot cure the true cause of suffering; the more important thing is meditation.
To prepare for death, practice tonglen. Take the suffering of all beings into your heart, as you breathe in, and give them to your ego in order to destroy it. Give all these sufferings also to the emotional “I” that appears to really exist from its own side but is actually nonexistent.Try to die with this motivation.

སྐྱེ་བ་ཀུན་ཏུ་ཡང་དག་བླ་མ་དང་།།
འབྲལ་མེད་ཆོས་ཀྱི་དཔལ་ལ་ལོངས་སྤྱོད་ཅིང་།།
ས་དང་ལམ་གྱི་ཡོན་ཏན་རབ་རྫོགས་ནས།།
རྡོ་རྗེ་འཆང་གི་གོ་འཕང་མྱུར་ཐོབ་ཤོག།
In all my lives, never separated from perfect Gurus,
May I enjoy the magnificent Dharma.
By completing the qualities of the stages and paths,
May I quickly attain the state of Vajradhara.
