I spend some time in nursing homes, and repeatedly see patients "on hospice" who are no way ready to die, don't like or want their "hospice girls" who do nothing significant for them, and who end up being taken off hospice care when they stabilize and defeat their six month limit on life.

More than once I have laughed with them about how they "fooled the experts."

You are displaying your ignorance of how hospice works. I suggest that you do more than “see them around.”

Hospice workers can keep someone alive just by giving them more attention and a little TLC. It’s not always a death sentence, and the hospice workers are the happiest folks when that happens.
