Screw Hospice! If she wanted to see her horse then someone makes that happen, her family should have. No one should ever have to ask hospice permission to do anything.
That’s how hospice is.
The hospice had no problem granting it, but there are still legalities and practicalities in the matter, such as finding an ambulance that could take her or legal liabilities if she had died on the trip.
Hospice doesn’t care what you do in your last days or hours.
People they serve are dying in their beds, so Hospice doesn’t have procedures (or money and staff) to handle requests for final motorcycle rides or skydiving.
Its up to doctors and the family. The Hospice people I know are very caring and will do whatever is within their power (which is very limited)
Whoa Nellie. The Hospice staff had the resources to fulfill the dying woman’s wish to see her horse. They arranged the ambulance and caregivers to accompany her. This was really a very sweet story.
“No one should ever have to ask hospice permission to do anything.”
You belong to the machine.
Amen
