Not true. What happens is by time hospice is called, the patient is in, or near, complete organ shutdown. Heavy amounts of narcotics are prescribed for pain. They usually slip into a coma as oxygen levels drop, a direct result of organ failure, not from drugs used.

Actually, it is quite true from our experience with hospice thus far. There are more than one nurse that comes to the house. The main one is able to call in their "opinion" of the patients (my FIL) pain. In about a weeks time FedEx left us quite a cabinet of pain meds including morphine on our front porch. They have been advocating over drugging in a way I didn't think was possible.

When they are terminal and that weak just a bit of morphine can put them to sleep permanently.

Yea, but the organ shutdown is causing the coma, the meds only keep the patient comfortably.
