[quote=Anonymous]OP has a reasonable point. When an elderly patient has spreading cancer, some doctors stop engaging. They have a digital file full of information, but Lise I retesting when it’s time to stop treatments. It is helpful to know which organs are giving out, being pressed on, whatever, bc it helps to determine care. No one dared guess life expectancy, so the family can’t plan for how to visit or provide comfort. Thought hospice would help saying: now is the time to say good bye, etc. But hospice isn’t necessarily present on the crucial days. You think everything is all lined up, but in the end, it can be a cold ocean swim in the dark. [/quote]
