I think I was honest when I said that Laura Ingraham's mom had a good experience at a hospice with her mom, so I did show both sides, so I don't think my brush was that broad.
And yes, my sister has an almost photographic memory (wish I had it), and it did happen EXACTLY that way. I feel that the hospice worker was trained to take away all hope.
But I think we would both agree, that we ought to be very careful about checking out where we leave our loved ones, and monitor both mistakes, and deliberate "mistakes."
For instance, a nurse almost gave my dad someone else meds (many pills), an accident, but thankfully, my mom caught it on time.
We just don't know how many health care workers give a person more morphine than is needed, for the purpose of killing them.
Thoroughly check out all health facilities, be alert, and listen to your gut.
"...so I don't think my brush was that broad..."
no no no sun, i wasn't talking about you with that, i meant the other poster when i inferred that, i'm sorry... and frankly, you are absolutely right about checking and double-checking facilities where we would bring loved ones..
this may be my total inexperience and ignorance speaking here but i was always of the understanding that hospice was brought in, more or less when all hope has been lost... when everything that can be done, has been done...
and sun, please don't get me wrong, i am a strong advocate of prayer!!! many a prayer was said for me by family, as well as myself for.... well, let's just say my own "jaded" past... :) and the fact that i'm "still around" is quite a miracle in and of itself...
