Obviously, the people who have commented so far, (3) have never had to deal with a chronic illness. This is just much needed part of total care for people with serious chronic illness.
@@elbacar4838 what? You can stop what? I have a genetic disease, there is no stopping that. It has no treatment. Not all palliative care is hospice, a lot of it is just focusing on quality of life and functioning and what can help a patient live their life in as much comfort and respect as possible - be that for the next 30 years or 30 days. Palliative care isn't just for the dying: hospice is. I am 24 and have been on palliative care for 2 years. There is no treatment for my condition, but palliative care is an amazing support for me and helping manage my symptoms and allow me to live as well as possible, for the rest of my life, which will hopefully be quite long. What an ignorant and cruel comment to say to those with serious conditions.
@@ZebraGirl97 I hear you💜 I have had Lupus for 40 years and have lost my spirit/fight. I need to contact palliative care resources for help. Blessings to you Claire🌻
Stage 3 cancer and severe side effects from the radiation and multiple surgeries. I had a bad fall recently and someone from the hospital or working with them got me a referral to palliative care. I'll be going in a few days. I really hope this helps since my deterioration has been hard to deal with for several years. 😿
My 93yo mother is deteriorating quickly (not from cancer). She is currently in the hospital and may transfer to a skilled nursing/ long term care facility. I remain confused as to what palliative care can offer her as most discussion references to cancer.
Wow, I ave hardly ever been able to speak openly with my doctors without fear and without their disapproval. They seem to think tht they own one and don't think they have to co-work with and tell one about the illness, what I have to do, what can and will be done by them and other therapists, and the potential, prognosis

@lrcthe5763 Many Doctors Are Not The Saints That You Think They Are.Havent You Ever Watched AMERICAN GREED .There Was An Episode Where This Doctor Was Diluting Peoples Chemo Medicine Dosage .He Never Told Them They Were Not Getting The Full Dosage And He Only Got Caught Because So Many Patients Were Dying. And There Was One Doctor Who Was Buying Body Parts From A Funeral Home .What He Did Was Put Cancerous Bones In People Who Needed Bones Replaced.

No sorry you can stop it . but you don’t because you want to feel a victim.

Thank you. Was really confused with palliative care and what it is. Thank you.

How nicely they speak. How come I have not received stress treatment in my 40 years of disease? And am not getting any medical help since years?

Thank you for making and sharing this video
In india none of the dr explain or even talk about palliative care, here stage iv means thats all the oncology dr will soon finish the patient
This video really helped me explain this to my wife.

Exactly!
Even in palliative care, you will still experience pain and suffering during palliative care and during the passing away phase.
Relief from life, it’s a euphemism for assisted suicide
And what is wrong with that?
@@polly6336 it’s a sin , nobody has the right to murder anybody

They do that for ppl on hospice in a few states that's legal not palliative care
@@johnnylightning1967 I agree
Money making racket!!!!!
Imagine looking at someone who devoted their life to relieving the pain of the dying and calming their job a money making racket
You're an idiot. Someone who's dying isn't going to be worried about money anymore.
