(well, it will happen anyway, but)
The 'movement' I am talking about is the one made by 'some' of the public.
The ones who want out of the responsibility, both parents work, can't take care of grandma, put her in a nursing home, can't afford grandpa, put him in a nursing home.
These are the realities we have to deal with in our lives.
This 'movement' away from family home care to NURSING HOMES, to DEATH HOSPICE'S (and there is no negative connotation in that name, that is what they are, a place for the terminally ill to have skilled medical care until their passing), is what we are doing as a nation, and what we must be very very careful about.
There are those who would take advantage of the dying to make a profit, and VULTURES gather round the smell of death.
Is this HOSPICE one that has succumbed to the GREED FACTOR?
I think so.
Does that mean that all HOSPICE's have? Absolutely not.
IS THIS A WAKEUP MESSAGE to the rest of AMERICA and those HOSPICES? ABSOLUTELY!
I could sit here and type all day about how I believe most of society's problems have been caused by the feminists. For instance, ever since women entered the workforce en masse in the 80's, we have seen an increase in the number of our elderly who have been placed in nursing homes by families too busy to care for their own.
Hospice, in my opinion, is completely different. It serves a need by those who have decided that they no longer want to fight to beat whatever disease is killing them. We had one hospice nurse who had, herself, just been diagnosed with inoperable cancer. She told us point blank that she had decided that there was no way she was going to put herself through course after course of radiation and chemotherapy because she had seen what that had done to so many (including us). Whatever she eventually decided to do is unknown to me. We never saw this particular nurse again. But, the point is, that she decided for herself how she would handle her illness and that was her right.
