[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be careful to ensure that the hospice in question is committed to maintaining life until natural death. Some hospices deny antibiotics for otherwise non-life-threatening conditions, even if the antibiotics will prevent the patient from feeling lousy, on grounds that that is somehow against the hospice model. There have also been other hospice is hurrying people along with pain medicine administered without regard to a patient’s particular need at any given time. Hospice is supposed to be about a dignified end, not the bums rush.[/quote] It sounds like you’ve had a bad experience with a loved-one in hospice. What company?[/quote]
