Back in September 2014 I let hospice in and all they told me to do is giving her morphine for the pain when change the bandage on her foot. Morphine made the pain worse,cause vomiting, blood pressure dropped, made it hard for her to drink and eat for my mom. Their solution more morphine and anti vomiting and nausea medication in cover what the morphine was causing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193246112569609268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1727515455736935819.post-31447573825358296372011-10-27T12:45:12.773-04:002011-10-27T12:45:12.773-04:00When my wife enter a hospice house for pain manage...When my wife enter a hospice house for pain management, she could converse, walk short distances with a walker, bath herself with a wash cloth, fed herself, sit up, watch TV, sit in a chair, look at a newspaper, etc. With a little help, she could take care of her basic needs. A few hours after entering a hospice house, hospice managed to turn her into a bedridden zombie that could no longer do any of these things. Of coarse they blamed this rapid, almost instantaneous, decline on her. Hospice claimed that it was completely innocent of this immediate decline. Since she has been here, hospice has fed her almost nothing and has given her little to drink. Actually, they almost immediately put her in a condition where she could not eat and could only occasionally drink small amounts. After I complained, hospice reduced the medication, so now my wife can tell someone that she is thirsty, hungry, or in pain. She is beginning to eat and drink more and do some minor things for herself. Unfortunately, hospice has weaken her so much that she remains an invalid. Based on my observations and comments that some of the people, not the nurses or aides, have made around here, I have come to the conclusion that hospice’s mission is not so much to ease the passage to death as it is to hasten the passage. Hospice’s policy seems to be to get the patient to the morgue as quickly as possible. It seems to be practicing a form of covert euthanasia. I am convinced that hospice has taken days if not weeks off my wife's life.hospicecustomernoreply@blogger.com
