Most of us here at HealthTap are practitioners who treat patients outside of hospice care. The best person(s) to ask your question is your colleagues who have dealt with their patients' last hours. It is a difficult observation, but is an important one so proper preparations can be offered for the patients with varying stages of living and dying. Thank you for posting your question for us.
