Question

Roger has an incurable disease, and he knows his time on the planet is limited. He hates hospitals and the sterile quality of any institution. He wants to die at home with his family around him, making whatever decisions must be made. Which form of care would be a good alternative for Roger to consider?

Answer 1

Answer: Hospice care

Explanation: It is a type of care that aims to meet the emotional needs of a terminally ill patient, unfortunately, as is the case with Roger, so not just treatment, therefore not healing intent, since he suffers from an incurable disease and has a limited life span. The purpose of this care is to provide the patient with the limited remaining time as comfort as he wants and who fully meets all his requirements to spend his last days as he wants and with whom he wants. By providing pain-relieving sedatives and thus allowing some comfort in the last days of life, so with as little pain as possible.
