a palliative care ward is in my experience a ward where no intervention occurs and the paitient would not be resused , they are there for just washing and basic medical attention if needed . the issue of prognosis is a hard one no one can tell really , it could be today or 6 mths from now . the only way you can get this info is to ask the staff what they think but still they cannot be sure .i am sorry you have to see him like that and hope you get some information soon .please ask them ! good luck x x x
