Focus on the Family -- today's broadcast is on
"a different kind of care" -- ie, hospice care.
with Margaret Cotter, MD, palliative care physician
88.1 here in Jax.
Bring me up to date on hospice. My impression was that you had to be within days or weeks of certain death to be in hospice care. All that I've read on this thread seems to indicate that hospice can be good or bad. The fact that a non terminal patient like Terri Schiavo was in hospice has always puzzled me. Can you help me out with the differences and what to look for?
