In this episode I review some of the challenges we can face when caring for patients with a long history of substance abuse.
During the show I review the psychosocial reasons we will find ways to not admit people who need hospice.
I also discuss how we can easily complicate the qualifications for hospice when we interject our own feelings and fears into the situation.
At the end of the show I share the story of a heart failure patient with special needs, and how we adjusted our plan of care to make sure this patient got the care he needed.
