they are for end of life and keeping the patient as comfortable as possible. Ive got mine all set (cancer, terminal). I dont want the burden on my family. Hospice knows the drugs etc that will keep me comfortable, my family cant know, nor can they prescribe them. Hospice can.

Good luck on your uncles journey. Hope he goes out as pain free as he can and has a comfortable end of life period.
