My life partner of 14 years who is an alcoholic, had a stroke on November 25th. He is 50 years old. He has been hospitalized since that date. Today, he walked with the aid of a walker, passed a scope swallow test and they aer starting him on level 2 diet. I felt elated, then the attending told me that I might want to consider Hospice. I was floored. No gastro MD has seen him to determine the liver damage level. Am I missing something? After the discussion, the MD admitted that he had not reviewed my partners records in a couple of days.
