Thank you for the clarification of hospice and palliative care, and what the patient and the family can expect from the two disciplines of care.

Thank you for this information. Since 2020, we’ve been living in a nightmare!! Our father (80) passed ‘suddenly’, like many others are doing all over the world. Our very healthy mother (78) was suddenly left alone and we were faced with home care for her. She has embraced her ‘new situation’ as a child. She’s literally became disabled overnight! My opinion is, she was exhausted taking care of dad and decided to revert back to childhood. Suddenly, she’s stooling in her pants? Suddenly she can’t get up and walk? It’s unbelievable what has happened to our family after our father died!!

I wish someone would talk about palliative care in dementia. My parent with dementia is in hospice and no one has talked to me about palliative care, ever, along the way.... I.e. in the past TEN years!

My experience with hospice was horrifying and a true nightmare. My daughter suffered immensely under their care. Hospuce believes in not giving patient fluids and nutrition. They force narcotics on the patient to keep them from "sufferring". They dont care they are dying of thirst and starvation. Emotonal suppost, the nurse wouldnt even say hello to my daughter when she was alert and saying "lets chat" she just sat there like a log. Might as well have had a dummy.

Trying to kill my cancer cells without killing me 😂 well, heckins that was a great statement to hear from my family doctor! 😂🎉 Thankyou for this informative video! Theres not really any way to sugar coat the dying process. 😊 BRCA isnt too unbearable since I have very nice doctors. Its been 2 years going on 3. The osteoperosis isnt the best, but I have 1 1/2 more years of zometa infusions to help strengthen the 🦴 bones! Lol. I hope its helping because the pain is miserable! 😅

I wish there was more information given about how P care and H care are different.

[@MelissaBPhD]

I hope the podcast helped to clarify the difference between the two - and I agree with you. So glad you found this episode helpful!

[@blessed3228]

I wish someone just say it? Does my grandmother being on palliative care, means that she is dying?

[@LurkStarKing]

"Talking about death doesn't mean to say it's going to happen" I think you need to have a rethink about that sentence because it's a bit confusing, otherwise love your presentation, especially the influence from the East
