It’s a fact. “Keeping them comfortable” with opiates and benzos inevitably kills them.. They’re gonna die either way. They might as well do so pain free.

Benzos serve a two fold medical purpose. First is obvious which is the patients own comfort. Second is controlling their Seizure activity. Benzos in that respect are mild compared to stronger meds for seizures.

Specifically, morphine and haldol.
"What's the haldol for?"
"Oh, it just relieves anxiety."
"I see. Ok."

I understand the whole concept, but after spending time there with a relative and noticing more than a dozen deaths in a week, I felt like I was in a death mill. Some people who were up the day before, were gone the next. A father was saying about his teen daughter, she had six months, but died 10 days after going to hospice..he was in shock. Well, the whole thing freaked me out.
