[QUOTE="okcBob, post: 4340554, member: 45783"] Not true. Hospice is exempt from the md opiates guidelines/restriction. No doc will be jailed for giving one extra pill to a hospice patient. It sounds like pain control regimen wasn’t effective & either the hospice nurse didn’t update the doc to adjust meds or the doc didn’t want to adjust meds while knowing the patient was in pain-which seems unlikely. Very sad either way. The counting of the pills right away (besides the requirement to document controlled meds) is also most likely a company policy to ensure family members don’t steal narcotics,, at least it was for us. I recall narcs/benzos like to go missing, especially in some neighborhoods [/QUOTE]
