Patient-centered and patient-directed end of life careThe California End of Life Option ActAid in Dying medicationKey takeaways:
Important to note that there are certain medical organizations with religious affiliations such as Dignity Health where you will not have the full range of End of Life options because doctors are not allowed to practice them due to their ties with the church.In many cases, the medication is not used but it is the peace of mind of knowing there is an option should the terminally ill person’s suffering escalate.There are locations to return the lethal dose of Aid in Dying medication and advice on how to correctly dispose of it should you decide not to use it.In California, Medicare DOES cover the Aid in Dying medication.Medical Aid in Dying IS NOT assisted suicide. It is utilized when a terminally ill person who is given a prognosis of six months or less to live who is mentally capable can request medication to self-ingest to bring about a peaceful death.Find Compassion and Choices on Facebook:
