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

Sorry, late to the question. To me "palliative care" means "comfort care". Taking care of a person at the end stages of their life to ensure comfort and quality, vs duration. If pain is an issue, provide relief. Loneliness, company. Etc.

Palliative now is leaning in meaning to quality of life, not quantity per se and hospice when death is imminent and more care is needed. And then, there's palliative death, or "terminal" death. AKA, a means of an individual being given meds in legal states they take alone to die.

Controversial and scary stuff. Not me, I've had a lot of decades to think about it. I get minimal oversight, some treatment of treatable non-invasive things (Infections, blood xfusions) at home. It's a slippery slope legally, but no kids, widowed and mostly understanding friends.
