Palliative care (from Latin palliare, to cloak) is any form of medical care or treatment that concentrates on reducing the severity of the symptoms of a disease or slows its progress rather than providing a cure. It aims at improving quality of life, by reducing or eliminating pain and other physical symptoms, enabling the patient to ease or resolve psychological and spiritual problems, and supporting the partner and family.

An acute care hospital does not provide palliative care. Children's Medical Center is an acute care facility.

Hospice and nursing homes provide palliative care.

Now, would you care to explain why you said he shouldn't even get palliative care, when that's not even what anyone was talking about? I know it's because you were confused, but go ahead and wiggle out of it. See if you can do it without getting any of your posts removed this time.

Terri Schindler Schiavo received less than palliative care for FIVE YEARS in a hospice designated for terminal patients who had less than six months to live.

That was a clear case of MEDICAID FRAUD but that was covered up because it would have also gotten DCF, ACHA, the courts and many death lobbied republicans in Florida in trouble.

By killing Terri, everybody else gets a pardon for her murder. If Terri lived, many "fine" public servants would have been investigated eventually. They had to get rid of the body and burn/shread all investigative files.

Attorney General Gonzalez has an open investigation re: Terri's Civil Rights. That is either another whitewash investigation or a real one.

If Judge Greer is ever impeached and convicted which he should be, then I'll know it was a REAL investigation.
