[QUOTE="katya02, post: 236560, member: 2884"] Thanks so much, friends. Unfortunately it does work differently in the land of universal health *insurance* (rather than health care). I didn't want to get into that too much either, but was very frustrated when in practice there. I really hope I'll be able to bring my stepmom here once she's stronger. The medical team spoke with her yesterday morning around 6:30 am, when my Dad wasn't there, and told her the tissue diagnosis, that chemo won't help, that she'll be sent home Friday, and that she has 6 months as an optimistic estimate. She was in pieces when my Dad arrived and he hasn't been able to track anyone down since. So he was pretty upset this morning. I know the teams make rounds early, before everything else starts, but in cases where they're communicating a death sentence I really think a family conference is indicated. That's what I always did. :( [/QUOTE]
