Was he actually in pain?
I notice that a person going in and out of consciousness who is repositioning in bed is now considered IN PAIN and bombed with drugs that slow down breathing and keep them unconscious.
Yes, he was in pain. The morphine wasn’t really working anymore which is why they switched to hydromorphone. I was in agreement that pain relief was the only reasonable thing left to do. I held the POA so they consulted me on treatment.
