A lady who loved loved loved loved her primary care MD-- was so concerned that she could no longer see him or keep him abreast of what was going on with her care--
Myth: Once a patient elects hospice, he or she can no longer receive care from the primary care physician.
Reality: Hospice reinforces the patient-primary physician relationship by advocating either office or home visits, according to the physician preference. Hospices work closely with the primary physician and consider the continuation of the patient-physician relationship to be of the highest priority.
