Antenatal is pre-birth. Postnatal is after birth.
Yes you’re right. I’m not having a good day, today.
Antenatal is during pregnancy. Post natal is post birth
That's a tough one as I have witnessed people under palliative care still suffer in pain crying at the end. I have also seen hospices do some fantastic work. The issue is that no two deaths and no two people are the same.
I know that. They do wonderful work. Many would like the option tho of opting out while they still resemble the person their loved ones loved
That's waht concerns me.
With my Mum I was asked about my attitude to her comfort vs Prolonging of life. I feel that patient preference may help everyone in the future in some instances
Yes, it has definitely become a problem in Canada. It's very difficult to draw a line and someone with dementia probably doesn't know what they are signing up for.
My Dad died in a hospice.
I have read several comments like this, which was why I used Canada as the example.
Without going in to too much detail, my experience of that with my mother-in-law was some staff treated it as "Do not bother to treat"; She couldn't stretch her arms out to eat the food they put on the table above her bed (in her care home she would eat off her lap but being prone in a hospital bed prevented that). When we pointed this out to one of the nurses we were told "What does it matter, she's got a DNR". Of course it was denied when we complained...
