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

Care given to a person with a terminal medical condition so they experience as little discomfort as possible for the remainder of their lives. Palliative care may be given by professionals and by loved ones ,with professional guidance, depending on the patient and condition.

Thanks Dave for the response. the differences in answers across the queries is becoming more interesting than I had myself imagined :)

We had experience with palliative care in 1995 for our first son, Kevin. Stanford Children's Hospital had us speak on a panel of bereaved parents to discuss how they could do better. I was grateful that Kevin's short life would help other families.
