Good response from Joe about my search for palliative care and what that meant to individuals. It's often confused with hospice or considered the same thing and it is been marginalized barely required for residents to do anywhere in the world. So a lot of confusion and complexity

Not sure what to make of your reply. Are you gathering info about perceptions of the term?

Informally that everyone has a different idea of what it means although all interpretations could exist with the current exception in many organizations being patients can not have a fully terminal disease and they still be in treatment such as a breast cancer patient.

It is only for the very seriously ill or knowing that's true the palliative care can stop or start as needed or merge into hospice service which is now considered the final months and weeks of living. The focus is on the patient's and quality of the life now not tomorrow or death
