Well, my daughter maintains that hospice is much better equipped to deal with dying patients and she is probably right. I just know that there is some leeway on how much morphine a patient gets according to their need. That may be the variable. It is hard to ascertain exactly what the hospitals and nursing homes were doing because the monetary incentives associated with dying with covid seemed to override ethics. I feel like the entire medical system has collapsed to a certain degree...at least any integrity is gone. But hey, that is just me...I told my husband to take me out back and shoot me instead of ever putting me in a nursing home...haha. He is a general contractor and does a lot of work for Pruitt nursing homes in Georgia and to tell you the truth...I wasn't kidding...
