What is Palliative Care?
The reason Palliative Care is needed
Some, not all, of these illnesses are curable with the help of medications or treatments. However, during treatment, the patients can become quite ill. This is where we come in, we want you to be as comfortable as possible during these very stressful treatments. This sort of treatment is very similar to Hospice care for patients who are at the end of the battle. It allows the patient to be comfortable and know that people do care about them.
This care wasn’t ever taught in schools until recent years. And, there about 80% of the larger hospitals with over 300 beds offer this service. If a life-threatening disease proves to be elusive, palliative care is what the patient needs. However, as the end grows near they will be transferred to hospice care where the staff is better equipped for this sort of care.
Palliative care is patient-driven. This means that some people will stay on ventilators and dialysis machines forever if that’s what it takes. We give the patient the odds with the understanding that things are in their hands. Some would rather go swiftly while others are prepared to live on life support if needed. This is ultimately their choice and we adhere to their wished the best we can. Have questions?
