Hospice patient have pain challenges from many different diagnoses. Definitely a comprehensive approach to chronic pain and analgesia may be warranted.
Usually the hospice physician will handle hospice patients. Anesthesia might be involved if asked to do a procedure.
I would consult with a physican, specializing in hospice care or your PCP to gain a better understanding and answer to this question.
Typically NO
