Why I Hate Hospice by Andrew Weitzen


http://www.whyihatehospice.com


This is a story of every person caring for their parent at the end of life. The story follows the first encounter with the medical system. How things go wrong, so fast. How Hospice lost their way with palliative care. How medical professionals misuse prescription drugs, in particular opioid abuse. How systemic, societal problems pollute our healthcare system.


Yet, this is a surprisingly uplifting story. The story binds us to one another, past and present, family and friends, community and religion, with the maturing process of making peace with the passing of the generations.

I just sat down and read your book cover to cover.
It is unique.
Touching. Beautiful. Reflective. Cautionary. Homage.
~ Philip Schwartz




This is not a feel bad book. This is a short, easy to read story of life and death, family and community. This is a cautionary tale, a case of The Emperor's New Clothes. If you would ask my sisters, and many others, they would say Hospice was wonderful. People want to believe what the professionals are doing is the right thing to do. I saw things differently. May this book keep your eyes open.
