It's important to understand that in the US, palliative care is combined with curative treatments until there are no more and then formal hospice care is implemented. Similar to Australia, PC focuses on relieving symptoms and increasing the quality of life for both patient and family but also allows curative treatments. Therefore, persons with chronic diseases, who often have multiple unmet needs, can be followed by palliative care teams for years to help holistically manage their symptoms to help improve quality of life alongside a complex serious illness.
Very informative - the process to this kind of care takes time to develop overall. You would have to have a great love for people to generate encouragement through their pain while gaining comfortable communication thats pleasant.
This presentation was interesting, but most of it doesn't apply to me because I don't have any family or friends or religion. There are a lot of people who are completely alone in this world, like I am. Would like to see a video on what socially isolated people do when they approach the end stage of their life.
Hi Carolyn, take a look at Palliative Care Queensland's website palliativecareqld.org.au/ --- on the homepage if you scroll down there is a yellow box in the middle for "Family, Patients and Community"
My father of 80 took a year to die...whereas my husband was given 2 months max...H was right....I noticed how they speeded up the process with both my parents and husband, with morphine...increased levels
palliative care seems to be hospice to me but people keep trying to convince me it's not the same. Why is this guy saying before you leave and references death if palliative care is not like hospice? Someone please help me understand?
Palliative care is to help with pain and quality of life with an illness or illness that is chronic and sometimes with no further treatments or no cure. Hospice is end of life , so generally a much more severe point when you are closer to the end and allowed end of life treatments , such as large doses of pain medications , hospital beds generally 24 hour use with the inability to get up to use the restroom ,

Its similar but with the idea of it being for comfort of pain and not doses as high to help end life .
So what happens in palliative care
Nice vid

Hello! I would like to reference this video in a theoretical paper. Please let me know the best way to contact you. Thank you!

Thank you.
How about praying for a miracle
Yes , that is also involved. Most have a religious aspect.
Such BS - at least in Arizona, there is no palliative care - they just claim there is.
