I understand that; however, not expected to be cured could translate to a premature death when the person could have been cured. For me it is the way in which this has been handled.

My friend ask only for home help and the doctor sends Hospice and turned my friend over to a Hospice Doctor for prescribing medicine.

There is another aspect of Hospice that I have encountered in this----------Hospice operates, according to Hospice personnel I have talked with, under a Federal Privacy Law that prevents them from identifying what Hospice Center a patient is in, considered private information that can only come from the family.

I spent about 3 hours getting information on where my friend, my best friend, is dieing. I finally got the information but not from Hospice-------took a lot of calls asking various questions to get the info.

I have been through numerous deaths with family but have never seen anything to compare with what I have seen with my friend and the coming in of Hospice into prescribing medication and taking over her life and now her remaining hours.
