I just read an interesting article I wanted to share. It noted that a French hospital, CHU Clermont-Ferrand, is about to start a program that will offer wine -- actually it sounds more like a cocktail party -- to terminal patients.

Here's the actual website. Though you have to be able to read French to read it...

And here's what I read about it.

When my husband was dying from is cancer, the hospital offered him unlimited morphine.

While I can't fault the US hospital for trying to ease his pain, I somehow think this new idea is quite nice. Treats the patients like people... And doesn't just isolate them.

What do you think?
