I know a couple of nice people who volunteer for a hospice. I wonder if Hospices "train" (brainwash) volunteers to tell a dying patient to be "realistic," thereby taking away all of the patient's hope.

Yes, I know a woman who volunteers for a hospice in Shreveport, LA. I was surprised that she did not seem overly upset over Terri's fate but did manage to say via email that she "could not" starve and dehydrate a loved one. But I thought that she would have been more emphatic about Terri's right to live. She is considered a very conservative person. Terri supporters have been surprised to learn that we are really a minority among Americans.

My sister-in-law volunteers for a hospice and says there are rogue hospices, and nothing like that goes on where she works.

My sister-in-law tried to help Terri, by making phone calls, et al, and asked me what else she could do to help.

Are most of the hospices in our country connected with each other, does anyone know?
