None whatsoever, they ignore everything and follow their damned training, morality
never even enters into the equation.
They don't really train docs on how to let people go, they train
them to act like human bulldozers.
The profession is cold and frighting as hell.
Since last December, I have been able to put in time at a near by hospice.
The quality of care, and the attitude of those involved is so humbling and different
than what one finds at a hospital.
I hope I pass away at home, while taking a long hot bath.

I can believe doctors and nurses are only focused on the saving part, but it seems like ignoring advanced directives would put them in legal jeopardy.
Probably in a lot of cases they don’t have access to the AD, like someone showing up from a MVA or stoke.
I can imagine the hospice being a lot better than a hospital, like you say goals and attitude are different by design mostly.
My wife’s grandma passed a couple weeks ago, at her daughters house by choice. She was 98 and drs didn’t think she would survive a surgery. Think they called it hospice at home or similar, a nurse would regularly visit, but for the most part relatives helped her with day to day care.
That above situation might sound ideal to some, and maybe it is. Not everyone has a lot of relatives to fall back on. The situation was far from ideal because one of the” caretakers” decided she needed only 25% of her anti anxiety medication in her last few days.
Plus she found out her body wasn’t being shipped whole back home to the Philippines, they were planning to creamate her all along.
Big deal to Grandma, and especially insulting considering she moved to Las Vegas from Phillipines to raise her two granddaughters as a live in nanny essentially.
I guess the moral of that is you can’t trust all relatives which is obvious.
Hopefully that bath is a ways off for you Gry, sound like you might be trying to get your foot in that hospice door.
