Tatay Robi Now In Palliative Care Vancouver General Hospital

Tatay Ruby has now been transferred to palliative care after struggling with his illness for 3 days at the 11th floor of Vancouver General Hospital. Bodoy and Auntie Insurance thought he would expire within those 3 days because his breathing rate was so low and he could no longer speak.
Meanwhile, up to this day, Personal Injury Solicitor, Mother Jones, Caregiver Lady and Tokak have made no attempt at calling him. Who could be stopping them?

Palliative care is a specialized area of healthcare that focuses on relieving and preventing the suffering of patients. Unlike hospice care, palliative medicine is appropriate for patients in all disease stages, including those undergoing treatment for curable illnesses and those living with chronic diseases, as well as patients who are nearing the end of life. Palliative medicine utilizes a multidisciplinary approach to patient care, relying on input from physicians, pharmacists, nurses, chaplains, social workers, psychologists, and other allied health professionals in formulating a plan of care to relieve suffering in all areas of a patient's life. This multidisciplinary approach allows the palliative care team to address physical, emotional, spiritual, and social concerns that arise with advanced illness.
Medications and treatments are said to have a palliative effect if they relieve symptoms without having a curative effect on the underlying disease or cause. This can include treating nausea related to chemotherapy or something as simple as morphine to treat a broken leg or aching related to an influenza (flu) infection.
