Hospice DOES NOT starve or dehydrate people! Insinuating that we do is both ignorant and insulting!
WE alleviate uncomfortable symptoms. Period. God decides when our patients are called home.
I am not insinuating anything. I am stating that patients are dehydrated. In fact, I was told by the hospice nurse that it’s a pleasant way to go.
To deny that patients are being dehydrated is avoiding the truth.
Do some googling. Your’ll find in a couple of minutes health professionals pushing dehydration, e.g., “”The process of starving to death seems very barbaric but in actuality is very peaceful,” said Dr. Fred Mirarchi, assistant clinical professor of emergency medicine at Drexel University College of Medicine in Philadelphia.
Sorry I beg to disagree. Been through it and I found it a horrible experience. It’s barbaric, I would rather my Father have swallowed a Cup of Hemlock than watch what I did.
