Palliative care, what’s it?
In: Other
One thing I have not seen in the comments is that Palliative care is NOT hospice. Hospice is caring for the person who is imminently dying.
It can be for something like MS, ALS, Lupus, long term cancer.
Palliative care can last 10 years or a month.
It is more about the patients wellbeing as a whole while they deal with the disease.
