I object to the following comment that suggests that hospice does not provide medication or allow people to take care of themselves. "By comfort, I don't mean a hospice type setting. Rather, they continue to take medication and otherwise take good care of themselves and see medical professionals" Hospice care is all about people taking care of themselves - living well - but not seeking aggressive curative treatment. Hospice provides aggressive comfort mesures. Slow medicine and hospice have a lot in common.
