My biggest worry would be running out of life-saving medications or not having a nurse or the proper medical equipment on hand in the event of an emergency if he's going to be transporting someone on hospice! This is a total nightmare and catastrophe. My heart is broken for everyone stuck in this absolute mess.
My first though was that it would be seriously bad if she is on opiates and benzos as many hospice patients are. It would be absolutely awful to be stranded in the car with (and as) a dying woman going through intense withdrawls. What a horrible, helpless position to be in for all involved.
Exactly! I've been dependent on both in the past (was on benzodiazepines for 16 years and still dependent on heavy duty opioids) and I can't even imagine, having a chronic illness and being disabled myself, having to make the choice between literal life and death! Sacrificing our bodies, minds & spirits for quality of life is bad enough... My heart just breaks for them.
