[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Advice I was given some years ago is patients typically do not go beyond 2 yrs needing 24/7 care. I think this is where palliative care only, that decision needs to be made.[/quote] Mine is starting year five. [/quote] Major neurological disease excluded, why would you keep someone alive this long to suffer? Do they never get a UTI or the flu? [/quote] Not the PP you are responding to. I see facilities and at home care workers "keeping" their patients/jobs alive. If you are doing everything for someone, they can live surprisingly long. And the problem with UTIs is that they can present in ways that requires emergency care. You can't allow a patient to stay in that state and not treat. [/quote]
