What anesthesia is used for hospice care?
Thank you for your question. It depends on what procedure they will do to your father and what co morbidities your father have. Ask your case managers that visit your father and if they can not answer, they'll refer you to their medical director. READ MORE
What's the difference between hospice and palliative care?
Hospice is for people facing a terminal illness with a prognosis of six months or less wherein comfort care is given without curative intent; the patient no longer has curative options or has chosen not to pursue treatment because the risk and side effects outweigh the benefits. Palliative care begins at the discretion of the physician and patient at any time, at any stage of illness, terminal or not where comfort care is given with or without curative intent. Hope this helps. READ MORE
