What is wrong with End of Life Care?

What are your perceptions of end of life care? What are your expecations? What have you experienced?

Let's hear your point of view, let's share experiences. Did you have issues with communication between medical staff and yourself/loved ones? Was pain control adequate? Did you feel that palliative care staff were proactive? Did you feel yourself or your loved ones were actively involved in decision making with regards to treatment?

What can we change? What do you want to see improved?

I'd like to invite all readers to share their opinions, thoughts and experiences.
