This is a question related not to your personal knowledge rather a global failure of communication. What is the description that comes to mind of the term "palliative care" There are no mistakes here this is just gathering of what has been poorly misrepresented. Thanks ya! M

I've heard it in the sense of, "We in [allopathic] medicine have run out of options to treat you, so we'll try and keep you alive and out of pain for as long as possible. Would you like some ice cream with that?" It should not be read as "you cannot be cured".
