No one is ever over medicated to ‘help’ them die. Depending on what the disease is that your father is fighting hospice protocols are to provide comfort care. That may mean additional pain management. If you want him to have a feeding tube that can be done.
Your understanding of hospice is very limited. Talk to the nurses and the doc they will help you understand
And let this be a time when you and your family decide for your own selves what kind of care you want when you are so seriously and gravely ill. Deciding during the course of an illness is way too late. Decide and get it in writing
“No one is ever over medicated to ‘help’ them die.”
Not true, sorry to say.
I’ve been through the process many times over the past twenty years with several different hospices and many different nurses. Each time I was the primary caregiver 24/7.
I must say that some of the most beautiful souls I have ever met are hospice nurses. That is the norm... But not all fall into this category. Last month I threatened to cancel the hospice agency and switch to another midstream in the process.
