I’m glad you asked. I’m not going to preach to you on this, which is not to say that there aren’t valid arguments for palliative care. But the reason I’m writing is because I’m not sure what it is exactly. I’ve been a patient of mine for a long time, and I’m certain that I’ve come to understand, but still, I’m not sure.
This is why Palliative Care is so valuable. It shows us how to help us deal with physical and emotional pain. It helps us understand our bodies so it becomes easier to control them, giving us the confidence to make decisions that make our lives easier and our death easier.
Palliative Care is not about making decisions in our last moments, but rather making those that are best for our bodies. It helps us to be fully aware of how we are feeling. It may not cure us but it is a very useful way to deal with physical pain.
In today’s world, palliative care is often given to patients who have died in their homes, but in the last decade there has been a move to provide it to patients at a hospital. The idea is that it will be quicker for the hospital to get to know that patient and the person they were in their final days. In the case of the hospital patient, it might take a while to know who that person is.
The problem with palliative care is that it is a bit like the placebo effect. The goal of this treatment is to alleviate as many of the symptoms and feelings as possible while reducing the patient’s suffering. There is some truth to this when it comes to pain relief, but it is also true that for the person who has terminal cancer, palliative care can be a bit of an alibi.
In the case of a terminal cancer patient, you can’t make them feel better on their own. So palliative care may be just as effective as a proper treatment. The problem is what is the right balance. Sometimes it is better to not treat the patient at all. Maybe they aren’t ready to die because it just makes them feel worse. Maybe it’s too late for them to have a decent quality of life and it’s too late to get any pain relief.
The other reason palliative care is a good idea is due to the fact that it can save a lot of money. If someone is terminally ill, and they are given the option to have palliative care, they wont have to take the drugs that are the only cure for the tumor. They wont have to be put on life support machines which are expensive, and they wont have to die in a hospital for the rest of their life. It is more humane for the patient.
In fact, most of the time, palliative care is best for people who are just beginning to feel the pain of a terminal illness. It can be a wonderful way to stay connected with family and friends, especially when they are dealing with end-of-life issues, and it is also a very good way to stay active as it can keep you going if you are in pain.
People often make the argument that putting someone with a terminal illness on a machine that cannot be removed is cruel and inhumane, but this is a false argument. Palliative care is a humane way of working for patients who are in pain. It is not a method to punish people who are dying, but rather a method to help them through their illness.
Palliative care can also be a very effective way to stay active when you are in pain. In fact, palliative care has helped many people who have experienced pain get back to their lives and even do things they couldn’t do before.
