I'm a fairly good guy, but then I watch stuff like this and realise these people are on another level. Not just the volunteers and staff but the ill people too. Their characters are so amazing.

[@teresacollins7192]

I’m a geriatric and hospice nurse. I don’t do kids because I can’t be emotionally available. I can say unequivocally it is the most fulfilling rewarding area of nursing. Dying is a part of living and being able to walk patients home is a privilege

Thank you Teresa

I have lung cancer stage 4 ,,how does the doctors know your going to die .. is it your blood pressure? Is it your blood? What is it that tells them that you’re gonna die because these people on the video don’t look like they’re dying they just look like through regular people

[@Sophie-vc8wm]

⁠@@godschild3640hi lovely, hope this may help - so with palliative care it tends to be patients that have a life limiting illness where treatment is no longer having any effect (which can be picked up through scans / blood results) and therefor a decision is often been made to either stop active treatment and instead we are priotising comfort and symptom management to make the last moments of life comfortable. There are quite a few signs to indicate when a patient is approaching end of life such as increasingly fatigued, extremities becoming cold or hot, increased symptoms whether this be breathlessness, pain and also a reduction to appetite these are all common signs that the body is starting to weaken if you will xxx xxx Hopefully treatment is going well for you sending you lots of love❤

My dad passed in a hospice in Atlanta. Was my first experience with one. Those kind people were invaluable. I gave them a large donation as they were non-profit. That hospice made such a difference and it had a profound effect on me.

[@sherrymcclure1049]

American here, and my dad had hospice in our home and they were beyond awesome. We were blessed that he was able to pass at home surrounded by his family. Those hospice people are angels on earth💕💕

[@stephaniewright340]

My dad died last year.. He had hospices for only 2 days before he passed away.. My father was in so much pain.. He was unable to take pain meds.. He was allergic.. Nor could he ha dle klonopin.. Xanax, or Ativan however you spell it.. He could handle it... So he suffered clear up to his last breath.. He would throw up and it brought a little relief.. But I won't ever forget watching him throw up biles of black cooffee like substances.. He had liver failure he was ready to get a new liver but discovered he had stage 4 liver cancer and stage 4 pancreatic cancer.. The doctor started him on chemo.. He did one dose of chemo and that basically killed him.. They had to stop the chemo because his body was not responding well.. They sent him home at the beginning of Feb 2022..i got a call saying I need to come home... It took me about 9 hours but I finally got there on Feb. 8,2022...my dad raised his head and looked at me.. Then fell back to sleep.. I walked out of the house.. I wasn't prepared to see him that way.. He had no muscle mass.. He was yellow looking.. None stop moaning because of the pain.. I cried for about 15 min and then I collected myself and went in the house to comfort my amazing step-mom.. She loves him so much.. They were soul mates.. I got there on the 8th and my father passed away a day before super bowl on Feb 12, 2022 at 8:52pm He was always my hero.. As he was dying I made sure he knew that I was there.. I did talk to him and I told him to let go.. That I understand and that well all take care of mom... But my father would not die UNTILL he saw my stepbrother.. I looked at my brother and said pops is trying to say something to you.. My brother said what's up pop.. And dad looked at mom then back to my step brother.. I said he wants you to promise him that mom will always be cared for and for you to take care of her he isn't going to die UNTILL you make that promise.. I said you know how stubborn he is.. Brian my brother said pops I've told you before mom will be cared for.. I said he wants to hear it again.. Brian looked at our dad.. And held his hand and said pops.. I love you and I thank you for being there for me when my own father wouldn't be.. Thank you for ALWAYS taking care of us and NEVER treating any of us differently.. Man to man.. I'm looking you dad in the eyes.. Mom will be OK.. I will take care of her.. Me, and the kids will make sure she will be OK.. I promise you that.. I swear to you that I will always be there.. (my brother lives 2 houses down the road..) as Brian was talking to him mom had her head on his chest Brian had one hand.. I was on the other side with my head on his shoulder and my other brother was holding his other hand.. Brian made that promise (we all were crying) as soon as he made the promise I lifted my head just a bit.. That's when black thick substance came out of every hole in his body.. Blood coming out of his eyes, ears, mouth, nose, port, blood went everywhere.. Just like that he was gone.. As soon as Brian made that promise he passed away... I won't ever forget it.. And I am in the health care worker.. Some patients are terminally and others are fine but die without having symptoms of any kind.. It's weird.. I do believe ppl when they tell you when they are going to die..

[@leylag1466]

I am a RN to that has worked in oncology, palliative care for over 20 years. By the end the only things that count are kindness, compassion and the simple fact that you are there. Done be fooled though many many of us that work or volunteer in hospice or palliative care have PTSD. You think you are strong and can handle the pain and suffering but you can’t. At some point your brain gives you a overload warning and if you don’t take actions immediately you will develop, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, burnout .. While the work we do can’t be measured please all of you remember to take care of yourselves. Don’t stay in this care for years at a time, get psychological help, counseling. Talk to a professional, find ways to release your experiences, the pictures that you can’t get out of your head. We all are human and humans aren’t made out to watch one person die after another. It does something to your soul and it’s not good. Love you all!

My father volunteered at a hospice as a hospice pastor. he took time out when life and hospice got too stressful. I wanted to volunteer service at hospice. My father had died a few months before I tried to. Bereavement Counseling was given. They said to wait. Unfortunately lockdown happened and they weren't allowing anyone in.

I recently lost my fiancee and he spent a week on hospice. Unfortunately it was in the hospital but they were absolutely amazing. This is amazing!! I am so respectful and in awe of these people. At 35 years old and after my experience I am actually now truly feeling a calling to go back to school and become a hospice nurse. Having that time with my fiancee helped me, watching these videos helps me. It brings me comfort. Everyone including his mother and sister essentially left me to deal with everything. They never saw him in ICU, Hospice and he was cremated as they couldnt bear to see him. His elderly grandmothers came to see him but i was the one who was by his side 24/7 for 14 days. I never thought i could handle something like that. It makes me want to go on and help others through what I have been through.

[@FanOBarbaro]

One of the most fulfilling things I've done was spend five years of my life volunteering to take my dog to see hospice patients. My dog is retired now but I hope to resume that work with another dog in the future

As an individual with several life limiting illnesses, I can personally attest to the value and importance of palliative care, otherwise known as symptom management. I recieve palliative care on an outpatient basis, and plan on continuing to work on maintaining my best quality of life for as long as possible.

It means we can have free hospices, free hospitals and free treatments .. I can't remember that it was not like that being in my early sixties. I can't imagine what it would be like to deal with hospital bills and at the same time battle some disease ....

It's hard to see the staff so pressed for time now compared to the time and focus (even though I know they are giving it their best) we were able to provide back then when hospice was just getting started in the US. So much about the money, efficiency, so many patients to see with little time and stretched staff and costs now and often a few days or few hours in before death in US. I admire those paid and volunteer staff I know are doing their best to offer quality care at such a cost to themselves. Thank you for all you do.

[@blotski]

I recently read something about this and I don't know why Americans aren't angry about it. Of course, it's true we pay for the NHS through taxes. What I didn't realise is that we pay less each per month than the average American spends on health insurance. Not only this but the US government actually spends a bigger percentage of its GDP on healthcare than the UK government. I don't know how or why but I'm guessing it must be on care for people who don't have insurance. No idea. So presumably this money must comes from taxation too. So Americans pay for healthcare through taxation and still have to buy insurance. What is truly shocking is that if you compare actual costs of medical procedures in the USA they are many, many times higher than in the UK. Why? Because in the UK a hospital is run by the state as a non-profit service. The cost of any operation for example will be presented to the state who pays it. But it is a simple transaction between different branches of the NHS. In the USA all hospitals are private so need to make a profit. Therefore they charge much more for procedures to cover costs and profit. The insurance cough up the money but they are also profit making businesses. All of this - the higher costs, the hospital profits and the insurance profits is passed on to the customer who buy the policies. So the Americans are not just buying healthcare. They are paying for the running of the hospitals and the insurance companies. This is why the health system is so expensive in the USA. Running it as a service through taxes works out cheaper for everybody.

We're having the same issue here in Australia. At the hospitals here, people are LITERALLY taking tents and camping out at the hospitals, just to be seen in the emergency room. But in saying that, I'd still much, MUCH prefer that than what it's like in the US.

@@blotski when I was 9, I had a bicycle accident where they revealed that I actually had cancer in my kidney (I'd been complaining of tummy pains for MONTHS) The very next day I was at the childrens Hospital having surgery to figure out what type of cancer I had. If I had of lived in America, that probably wouldn't have happened, and I'd be dead.

No, American Hospice care is performed in nursing homes and we give hospice companies a place to make the patients comfortable when they can't be at home.

We have great Hospice Houses here in my area of Florida

How many beds each house? On average. I’m sure tho in your area with the great influx of the elderly/ retirees there are more than usual in the rest of the US!

I don't want to diminish what hospice does today, because my 2 stories dealing with hospice for my 41 year old brother goes back to 1994. Hospice was coming to the house and was somewhat benefitting for my brother until he could no longer swallow the liquid morphine. We had to transfer him to a hospice care center where he died just 3 days later in complete agony. The night shift nurses, one in particular wasn't giving him the morphine injections. She was using it herself. And other patients were moaning in pain. So to this day I have zero faith in hospice. The second bad experience with hospice was in the year 2000 when my mom needed to be kept comfortable when she was dying. Hospice back then had a rule that they couldn't help until my mom was deemed to have six months to live or less. They decided she had slightly more than six months to live and they finally decided to come into the home where I was taking care of her. When they called to say they will be coming that day I had to decline their help because Mom had passed away 20 minutes before they called me to help. I'm very wary of hospice and the suffering that is allowed to happen. Now that I am terminal with illness and have home healthcare workers coming to my house, I'm very worried. I've yet to try hospice even though it's being recommend. I can't be the only one with not one but two bad experiences with hospice. I'm not trying to discourage patients from using hospice, I'm just telling my story.

What is the state of use of hydromorphone and oxymorphone in hospices now? They are incredible drugs for the end of life period before the requirement of diamorphine. They increase activity and give euphoria and the right doses giving people the best last few months-weeks as possible until the final 7 days where diamorphine is usually indicated.

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

If u have months left I don’t think ur on hospice, here in the US. I had a pt as an aide in excruciating pain for a month, or 2 rly-till he was on hospice. Then, all the meds he wanted! He was in a stupor hardly able to open his eyes till he died.

It’s weird, isn’t it? This is such an important video, relevant to everyone on this planet (we’re all going to leave this earth at some point), yet so few views and comments. This says a lot about our society/culture, and it’s not good.
