In thinking of what forum to post this Washington Post article, I thought about my feelings which were primarily coping Anger and fear, so here's a link to the full article but as usual I excerpted the basic message [I read every page of the Washington Post so you don't have to ;)]
[quote]David Goodman, who led the analysis, said the findings indicate that too many cancer patients are dying in the hospital and too few are getting adequate palliative and hospice care. Surveys have shown that 80 percent of patients would prefer to die at home, he noted. That suggests that many doctors are treating cancers too aggressively and often are not honoring their patients' wishes.

"The care that patients receive has less to do with what they want and more to do with the hospitals they happen to seek care from," Goodman said during a briefing.[/quote]
Hospice instead of hospital
