A palliative care nurse in Germany has been sentenced to life in prison after he was convicted of the murder of 10 patients and the attempted murder of 27 others.
Prosecutors alleged that the man, who has not been publicly named, injected his mostly elderly patients with painkillers or sedatives in an effort to ease his workload during shifts overnight.
Not sure where you are getting this from. In the US and UK it does not mean you are dying, in fact you are still getting treatment. In the US this is termed as hospice care which is a part of palliative care when you are expected to die soon.
I looked it up in the UK and they call it end-of-life care which is also a form of palliative care.
I was a care coordinator for many years and I employed many personal care assistants that were trained by hospice nurses.
I received my fair share of employees calling balling their eyes out because their elder had passed away. I also have had the privilege of being there with several people who passed away.
