What they’ve said
“We've had situations where one daughter will say, 'Mum really wanted to be comfortable, let's just dose her up on morphine' and the other family member will say, 'No, I want everything done, they need to be in ICU, they need to be intubated.' It's very hard to know which family member you should be listening to because there's no documentation.”
