[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I were in lots of pain on oxygen could not walk and had trouble breathing (assuming. No hope of recovery). I would want pain relief. It does not sound like that medication is providing much quality of life! Hospice kept my Dad comfortable till the end. We were grateful for that [/quote] OP here, really appreciate all the feedback! There is definitely no hope of recovery here. The medication is ofev and it's for pulmonary fibrosis. I think if he went off it, it would make breathing even more difficult than it already is. I'm wondering logistically why hospice doctors would be able to provide better pain relief than regular doctors though. Are hospice doctors just more willing to provide morphine because there is less of a liability issue? [/quote]
