Many people come to this forum and post their concerns that they believe hospice killed their loved one.
I want you to know with certainty that you are correct in your suspicions. Hospice does murder. I have witnessed it, as well as many other.
Please, if you have experienced this, I'm asking you to continue to speak out. There is a growing effort to bring these atrocities to the attention of the public by speaking out, and telling our stories. That is the only way we can make other people aware.
Don't ever let anyone convince you that you didn't witness what you witnessed. You were there. You saw it. And you know.
Here is the timeline of the merging of the Euthanasia Society of America and the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization. The two are one in the same. Wonder no longer if they are murdering. They are. It is their mission. It is what they do.

Nite Ali!
And it looks as though it's going to be
A long and sleepless
Caregiver night.
In Hebrew, the language from which the Jewish festival originates, the word for Hanukkah is not easily transliterated into English. This accounts for why there are so many spelling variants. But Hanukkah and Chanukah are the two versions that are most widely used and accepted. Hanukkah lasts for eight days.

It rolled in the garden and under a bush
And then my poor meatball was nothing but mush.
The mush was as tasty as tasty could be,
And early next summer it grew to a tree.
The tree was all covered with beautiful moss
It grew great big meatballs and tomato sauce.
So if you eat spaghetti all covered with cheese,
Hold on to your meatball and don't ever sneeze..

On top of spaghetti all covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed
It rolled off the table, it rolled on the floor
And then my poor meatball rolled out of the door
It rolled in the garden and under a bush
And then my poor meatball was nothing but mush.
The mush was as tasty as tasty could be,
And early next summer it grew to a tree.
The tree was all covered with beautiful moss
It grew great big meatballs and tomato sauce.
So if you eat spaghetti all covered with cheese,
Hold on to your meatball and don't ever sneeze.

of Santa's Sleigh, that is.
Everyone wants to know where he keeps his reindeer, AND,
Where the cookies are hidden.
More to come.....

You obviously have been deeply affected by events...but you should use your energies focusing on ways to improve things in the industry..society..to ensure that mistakes are not made ...and work directly with organizations rather than posting gibberish here that is counter productive..and causes you to lose credibility...and takes from people who need to share their experience...and ask questions...

The Hospice Patients Alliance is also an excellent resource for anyone dealing with hospice. There's helpful advice and warnings.
I am sorry for your experiences - but to flame all Hospice Care isn't right either. Here in my area, Hospice has been rewritten to keep people alive and have proven to be extremely helpful and supply a ton of supplies for free.
I personally saw my father being cared for so tenderly - he was allowed to pass with dignity. They came daily and bathed him and he gloried in it. They were truly sorry when he passed in 5 days after stopping his dialysis. I had stopped all his multiple medications as I saw no reason to prolong his suffering. He thanked me for stopping 15 medications.
During that 5 days they helped to keep him pain-free for the first time in more years than even he could count.
If you have a parent, child, loved one who is dying, in agony and you understand that Hospice's purpose is to provide COMFORT to the patient, not to try to drag them back from the brink of death with whatever painful lifesaving techniques can be brought to bear on their on-the-verge-of-death body, only to continue to die painfully, then Hospice is a great blessing.
Those of us who've watched loved ones TORTURED by medical professionals, in the service of "we can make him live one more day", then you GET what Hospice is about. It's NOT about putting the patient to death. It's about letting nature takes its course while making sure the patient is not agitated or in pain.
For some folks, I understand, this is a sin. Only God can determine when and how one dies and if God decrees that we die in pain, then so be it. I don't happen to believe in THAT kind of God.
My mom, having watched my dad battle leukemia, opt for dialysis when his kidneys shut down, and die quite painfully while on dialysis, decided that when she had something that couldn't be treated, she wanted to go peacefully and painlessly. She made us promise that we'd see that this happened.
So when a couple of "atypical" cells showed up in her plueral effusion when she was in her late 80s and they wanted to do a bone marrow biopsy, she counted on us to say "no way". When she developed dementia and became more and more frail, we had the docs treat what they could (heart block, pneumonia, delusions) with meds, knowing that nothing she had could be cured. And when she fell and refused to get out of bed, we knew that she was telling us, through her actions, that she was done. We got hospice in to treat her pain with morphine and her agitation with Ativan.
She went down surrounded by love and opera arias.
If we hadn't had hospice, would she have lived a couple of hours longer, with the look of terror on her face that I still remember before they started the morphine? Maybe. But seeing my mom die in peace was a blessing for all of us.
If you don't want hospice, don't sign up.
A personal experience in the last month proves this in our family. Patient didn't really have anything that would threaten to end his life within 6 months, he was just getting debilitated by Parkinson's, but dr urged hospice. Hospice urged DNR and pushed morphine, etc. every time they came to visit, both of which were refused by caregiver. Patient was not in pain or agitated and was easy for caregiver to manage so why push drugs?
To have morphine on hand, at home? Yes ma'am? Not to administer if not needed, but not to have to bleat for it? Jeez, my mom was in some kind of agony and doubling her tramadol did nothing. Morphine was a blessing. She was in a NH. If she'd been at home, it would have been a no brainer to giver a low dose to ease her breathing and pain.
