Oct 2013

means a rational, logical discussion with doctors regarding treatment options, outcomes, side effects and hospice care. Why do they hate this? Because it puts patients in charge -- FREEDOM -- and the hospitals and doctors can't run amok running up huge bills on unnecessary treatment and care. It is still the patient's choice. However, many are reassured when they learn they will be well cared for and not be in pain if they opt for hospice care instead of expensive, invasive treatment.
