She is given pain-killers more for the family than the patient. I signed my living will yesterday, and that clause was in there about pain killers. The idea was that the family rests easier knowing that the doctors have done everything they could do to eliminate any possibility of pain. A hospice generally provides end-of-life care, and it's been clear for years that Michael Sciavo intended this for Terri.
