San Francisco, California Hospice Care

Some people think that hospices just use high doses of morphine to ease pain but also to hurry up death. This is not true. Hospice doctors and nurses use many treatments to ease pain and relieve symptoms. These can include drugs, but also massage, physical therapy, nutrition changes, even exercise and oxygen. Studies show that early admission to hospice can result in patients living longer and better than they otherwise would!
