My controversial opinion not fact.
Just a FYI, hospice aka palliative care is essentially a stealth euthanasia program. I've seen two people who probably had a couple months trimmed of their lives via Hospice and their increasingly large doses of morphine. It was plain as day, no question about it. Some people are glad they ended the suffering, some are angry and suspect their loved one's life got cut short.
My problem with them is that they don't tell you this in their clever sales pitch because it's illegal and bad for business. Right after you sign the dotted line, they ask you to immediately stop giving the patient their medications that they've taken for years and cancel refills, that should of been a clue. Then they bring in the morphine.
I think there's many nurses who may not be aware of the role of morphine. They probably think that the doctors are really good at predicting death or something. They get the patient so high on morphine that they can't be bothered to drink water and either dehydrate or their heart rate gets depressed til the point of failure.
One of the patients who died wasn't in pain and I told him what I suspect the morphine is for so that way they could make an informed decision. They tried to refuse the morphine and all hell broke loose. At first they constantly urged him to take it, and reassured him it's just to help him relax and it'll help to breathe easier. After that didn't work they told him take it or were removing you from our program. They won, a week or two later RIP.
There was a Dr. in the NY times who admitted it was a "backdoor euthanasia" program and on reddit there was a thread called "What's little known secrets from your industry?" or something and buried pretty deep a Hospice nurse admitted that's what they do, they call it "snowing".
It's a great program and I have nothing but respect for the people who do that disgusting job. They've helped so many people escape from suffering and misery and it keeps the hospital beds open for people who still have plenty of time on their clock I just wish they would be upfront about it but that'd be illegal.
