Than I’m sorry you had such a negative experience. The majority of people haven’t. I thank God for hospice and I send money every year to the hospice that allowed my brother to die with dignity and comfort, in a home like setting with the people he loved around him, instead of a cold hospital, being tended to by strangers who didn’t give a rat’s ass about him.

I have had numerous “experiences” with hospice...numerous. There is a great market for it and you are one of it’s sales persons...aren’t you?

OK...now you've gone off the rails. My wife and her colleagues have been the last caregivers for a number of dying patients, and though hospice is a better environment, the last thing they are is uncaring.

You've asked another Freeper if he ever had to be with someone at the end of their life. I'd ask, have you done so in a traditional hospital setting, and if so, why do you feel confident you can put that noise on every nurse, doctor and CNA who works in those wards?
