The amount of morphine available to the patients on hospice that I have known has made it very clear what the actual intent of those scripts is. Granted, my sample size of 6 isn't great, and 3 were in terrible pain so it made sense for them, but they had ALL the opiates. . . One had liquid injectable morphine in case he couldn't swallow. He had no issues with swallowing and wasn't in pain. I wanted to ask the doctor if the intent was to allow a calm end, but chickened out. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Amazing how frequently people die after they’re turned over right when the family is all together. Amazing and appreciated. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Open secret. Cowardice of the system, society, that doesn’t allow practitioners to discuss this. Leads to scary grey areas, actually. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
