Thank you. I reserve commenting on the deaths in facilities during COVID, because I've been told there were financial incentives for COVID deaths, and although I hate to think that medical personnel would actively kill someone, I can't say it wasn't done. I found the refusal to allow families to be present and advocate for patients was reprehensible. I was a hospice nurse for several years and found that there are a lot of people who truly believe that hospice nurses are running around killing people with unecessary overdoses of morphine. While I understand that those people may have reasons to believe that, I try to educate people on what in-home hospice care really is.

I don't think it is hospice nurses they think badly of...it is hospital nurses...
