Steroids are exactly what he needs, not cost saving bureaucrats!!
Prayers up!
I guess they thought he was dying. I detest Hospice, even though they helped when my husband died. But I think the mode of operation has changed.
Somehow I get the idea that they are about helping people die now, rather than helping them live to the end of their natural life.
It irks me so say the least.
The high blood pressure stuff, vitamins, etc.
depending on the type of pneumonia steroids would likely kill him. depends on if is bacterial. BTW hospice has to be asked for, so he or a family member has intervened. I know just went through a similar event with my dad.
