Palliative Care vs. Hospice Care-They both Are Nothing but Murderers!

Palliative Care vs. Hospice Care: " It’s about improving and maintaining quality of life.”"

Many people equate palliative care with the end of life. It is so much more than that. “Palliative care is a medical specialty to help those people dealing with a serious illness,” said Holli Martinez, FNP-BC, ACHPN, FPCN - program director for University of Utah Health’s Palliative Care Service. “You can be seen by palliative care and still be seeking aggressive, life-prolonging medical treatment. It’s about improving and maintaining quality of life.”



"It’s about improving and maintaining quality of life.” How does Palliative Care improve and maintain the quality of life when the patient is Overdosed with Morphine and no longer does anything but sleep? And then to top it all off the patient never even consented to Palliative or Hospice care. In fact, he refused and stated he wanted treatment, NOT death. All he got was death!
