I assumed this was SOP for hospices.

I went to Frisco High School.

The town is the armpit of the state. (actually another part of anatomy would be better but I’m being polite)

Anyone who lives there probably is suicidal.

I am a hospice nurse. Ethical nurses won’t do this, and most would report the owner.

This is NOT SOP for Hospice.

There is NO legal maximum amount for meds given.

Nothing new, dirty littlle secret in hospital ICUs. If you ever have an unresponsive loved one they want to “make comfortable”, this is what that means.

In the elder care industry, it is called “turnover” and is watched over by management.

A one person ObamaCare death panel. The model of efficiency.

And to think I only thought that they stopped giving them water!

My dad in March was dying from Alzheimer’s. He was bedridden and had not eaten in a few days and only had sponge water on his mouth. It was clear to the hospice people he was dying. The day before he passed, though he couldn’t speak and was usually happy or content, he groaned in obvious pain. The organs, as they dehydrate, hurt. Of course we increased his morphine so he didn’t have to feel the pain. I am grateful for the morphine.

This is why I would never want to send a loved one to a hospice.
