Does the dying person experience pain?
The degree to which a person feels pain depends on their disease and on how the pain is being treated. In palliative care, we make efforts to minimize the person’s pain through medication, touch, and companionship. The right combination of pain medications can keep a patient comfortable and able to enjoy a high quality of life. Because each person’s experience is different, it is always advisable to get professional medical guidance if you believe someone is experiencing pain.
