[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My only personal experience with ALS was my neighbor's husband being diagnosed. Our kids had grown up together in the same schools, same school bus etc.

When he reached the point of having a hospital bed in the day room and daily hospice, my friend told me he asked to be let go. She told me he wanted to go. "I can't even scratch my own nose" was something she told me he murmured.

So they both quietly [b]told hospice and they upped his morphine and then he was gone[/b].

Her mother moved in and her sons have now never left, I took 2 of her cats that she couldn't manage anymore (having to go back to work) who fought with her mother's little dog.

It was a while ago now, 2018, but I'm now older than when he passed in hospice and always think why do some evil people stay forever and good people who have so many people love them have to leave so soon.[/quote]

That sounds like assisted dying. Will hospice do that?[/quote]

Ours sure didn't. My mom asked and was swiftly told that was illegal.[/quote]

My friend's husband had pancreatic cancer, and he was home with hospice care. [b]When the pain became unbearable, the hospice nurse instructed my friend on how much morphine to administer (but the nurse didn't do it herself).[/b] [/quote]

This was our experience as well.[/quote]

[b]But is there an investigation into the caregiver? Would the caregiver get in trouble for doing this?[/b]

This story of Eric Dane has me thinking I would want an out like this (ie at home
hospice morphine) in similar circumstances. [/quote]

I mean, who would investigate? Keep in mind that a person placed on hospice is terribly sick and will die. Very few "fail hospice". [/quote]
