I'll preface this by saying I was mostly happy with AGH treatment, but they need a serious haul of their hospice team. Their hospice team comes in, during my dad's would be last days, casually spouting off about his death, right in front of him. He bursts into tears and tells me the nurses are scaring him. My dad was not a man to cry. I had seen that once in my lifetime before. I'm not sure in what world they thought that behavior was ok. Only one of them once asked if I would like to go into the hallway/lounge area, which was an obvious YES. They have an entire, empty, lounge full of couches and tables that work excellent for these discussions. I'm not sure like I said that I can ever understand their hospice team actions. However, the actual nurses are wonderful so I am happy my dad could have been there.

To work in a place like a hospice you are surrounded by death daily. You become immune to it and normalize it and even joke about it as a coping mechanism. I hope it was an accident and they apologized at least
