Because that is exactly what is palliative care only consolation and intravenous fluids that are not regarded as a measure of comfort. Typically, only written requests will be on pain medication to keep patients comfortable in their last days at home. There you can get anti-nausea medication, control, or you can ask your doctor to be admitted to hospital, where he infusions to obtain palliative care, but not in the home environment. It is not just work like them.
At this stage we just went with my brother. His organs were shutting down. And give them food or drink would just work harder. I see it as basically told us to give, liquids only prolong her suffering.
You can call your Physcia and say that you might be referring to his home on health
