Pain & Symptom Management Services
Pain is one of the problems that can cause discomfort in a person who is about to die. It is hard to watch a loved one die and more so if they are in pain. There are some things that can be done to relieve the pain. Experts in this field propose that when caring for a dying parson, people should concentrate on alleviating pain instead of wondering about the likely problems that might arise due to drug abuse or dependence. Therefore, such patients should be given as much pain relief medication as prescribed by a physician. It is important to note that it is easier to prevent pain than to manage severe pain. If pain persists, a hospice medical specialist with experience in managing pain for critically ill patients should be consulted immediately.
