As long as it is a choice! It must be the patients choice! Many of us “Old people” want to die naturally. We… don’t want to choose the suicide, we just want to go as naturally as possible. As it’s wrong Biblically wrong to commit suicide! That said, we humans get the right to choose The last thing is that the human being dying gets to choice.

As a RN case manager I found that it’s the Palliative Care team that is burdensome. Often the patient is ready for Hospice and PC team keeps them second guessing their decisions. They wouldn’t let the patients go - much like Oncology Dr wouldn’t stop treatments. The patient gets awfully confused. They are ready for end of life and Hospice but the PC team wants to continue palliation of care and didn’t want to talk to the patients about Hospice. Since the “H” word became taboo the hospice grp got pushed out of the inpatient hospital environment and was replaced by the “softer” version of Palliative Care. Before I retired I was trying to get the Hospice grp integrated back in so that patients could truly have a choice and talk to hospice directly themselves so that they could then make a decision how to proceed in their treatment process.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. That’s too bad that this happens sometimes. I would think it is definitely different among different palliative care teams. I also imagine that it’s a difficult line to walk between being realistic about outcomes, but also not letting patients go to hospice over what could be perceived as some more momentary depression. I totally agree that patients should know all their options, however and decision should be up to them.
