No aggressive treatment.
Hospice care is what is known as palliative care.
It has to do with palliation or relief of symptoms. Those of us who really believe in hospice believe that life and death are sacred. Death is as much a part of the developmental life cycle as birth. The fundamental prerequisite to hospice care is the recognition by patient and family that the time for aggressive care is over. You cannot be on hospice care and choose aggressive treatment measures, unless they are for management of a particular set of symptoms.
