I lost my Mother to cancer in '52. She actually died
at home with my injecting morphine into her every three
hours...causing heart failure. A dear friend lost her
bout with cancer four years ago. The doctor again
prescribed hospice home care with morphine draughts
every few hours, causing heart cessation.
In 50 years, terminal patient care hasn't changed
one iota. I view the morphine draughts/drip as the best
way to end a sick-unto-death patient. Rightly or wrongly,
the courts decreed she MUST die. But Why the protracted
method? Why wasn't such a peaceful death prescribed for Ms. Schiavo?
Our vets do as much for our pets.
She is getting morphine, believe me. The job of a hospice is to provide palliative care. They know how to do it and if, by some chance, she could feel pain, believe me, she's not.
