Can a hospice patient go to the doctor

Hospice care is a specialized form of care provided to individuals who are terminally ill and have a life expectancy of six months or less. The primary goal of hospice care is to manage the patient's symptoms and provide comfort and support during the end-of-life process. As such, hospice care is typically provided in the patient's home or a hospice facility. However, it is not uncommon for hospice patients to require medical attention outside of their usual care setting, such as a visit to the doctor's office.

So, can a hospice patient go to the doctor? The answer is yes, but with some important considerations. First and foremost, it is essential to ensure that any medical treatment or intervention is in line with the patient's hospice care plan and goals. This means that any visit to the doctor should be coordinated with the hospice care team, who can provide guidance on what type of care is appropriate and necessary for the patient's condition.

Additionally, it is important to keep in mind that hospice care is intended to provide comfort and support during the end-of-life process. Therefore, any medical interventions should be focused on managing the patient's symptoms and improving their quality of life, rather than attempting to cure their underlying condition. This may mean that certain types of medical treatments or procedures may not be appropriate for hospice patients.

In some cases, hospice care providers may have their own team of medical professionals who can provide care for the patient, such as a hospice physician or nurse practitioner. These providers can offer medical attention in the patient's home or hospice facility, reducing the need for visits to the doctor's office.

In summary, hospice patients can go to the doctor, but any medical intervention should be coordinated with the hospice care team and focused on managing the patient's symptoms and improving their quality of life. Ultimately, the goal of hospice care is to provide comfort and support during the end-of-life process, and any medical interventions should be in line with that goal.

I have a patient who made the decision yesterday to choose palliative care. We’ve worked together for a couple weeks now. She’s young, barely fifty. Two years ago, she had some health issues, but she was expecting a relatively normal life. Things changed.

Obviously, it’s been incredibly hard for her and her family. She told me that everything just changed so fast, and everything got so bad so quickly. I held her hand while she cried.

A couple hours later, she needed help with a bath. She’s bed bound with limited mobility, so she needs a lot of help. Which for someone so young and who could recently do everything herself, has been incredibly hard. When she and I were talking—it tends to make the process less uncomfortable for the patient—I asked her what music she liked. She told me she loved Conway Twitty. I told my phone to play Conner Twitty on shuffle. Thankfully, it was close enough for the music app to catch what I meant, and the slip up made her smile.

And it meant a lot to her. She felt SO much better. We joked and goofed and then she sang along, quietly, softly, to herself one of the songs that was about a child worrying about losing their parent. Then she told me a few stories she associated with different songs of his.

I really think it made the whole process a lot less difficult for her. It made the process less necessary care being provided to a patient, and more two women talking while doing something. It took some of the unnaturalness out of the situation. I don’t think it’s always going to be appropriate, but it it’s a strategy I’ve used a couple of times with good results.

It also meant that when I went to cook today and hit play on my music app, not thinking about it, I got jumpscared by old school country. It was a VERY confusing moment.

Listening to The Amelia Project in 2017: Oh haha what a fun take on an office comedy! A death faking business, this is hilarious!

Listening to the Amelia Project in 2023: Death is inescapable, we will always leave behind those we love and be left behind, we do the best with the time we have and it is never enough, our stories will always outlive us so long as there is someone to tell them after we cannot

Humans should not have any prerequisite reason for working for disabled rights and accessibility. It should just be part of being a good person.

HOWEVER

In a world where all of our bodies age and grow more frail and are affected by entropy, where every single person knows on the basic and most fundamental level that they have a nearly 100% chance of living with a disability purely on the basis on linear time, where it is that damn certain and blatantly obvious, I am still boggled at anyone who sees advocating for disability rights and better ways to meet disable needs and thinks "that's not worthwhile." And while aging and disability have some distinct differences in how they're supported in society, a person 80 years old who is hard of hearing is in the same media captioning boat as a 20 year autistic with audio processing issues.

Growing to a ripe old age with zero amount of disability is like becoming a billionaire. Everyone has been convinced it'll happen to them, but the chances are near zero. Anyone can become disabled at any time, but not only that - everyone is going to become disabled because of time.

Hhhhh today and yesterday I've been too emotionally distraught and exhausted from dealing with Things to even indulge in one of my favorite and best coping mechanisms: retail therapy.

If you want a bit of a reference for how I'm doing at the moment... 🙃
