I am not sure of your questions, but I am so sorry you are witnessing this with your brother. I will keep you both in prayer and guide the physicians caring for him. In my experience, hospice will only try to keep him comfortable. They will not do anything that would attempt to save him or examine him any further unless he is not on hospice care. That is just what I know of hospice care here in Tennessee. Most insurances will not cover any other measures than comfort care.
