I guess we can't agree on what terminal is. You seem to think that it means that death is right around the corner. I was thinking it was closer to six months like the hospice guidelines dictate.
"Terminal" is always related to an underlying medical condition. It doesn't exist in isolation. Are you asserting that Mae has a medical condition with a prognosis of "terminal?"

"Terminal" is always related to an underlying medical condition. The prognosis of terminal usually has a time component associated with it. Admission to hospice requires TWO things. A prognosis of terminal, and an estimated time to demise of 6 months or less.
"Like the hospice guidelines dictate"
Thanks but no thanks. I wouldn't want my doctor to admit me to a facility where my survival depended upon 'hospice guideline dictates'. Would you?
