Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...My freind is on hospice and today when i visited him he really could not focus. He seemed to stare up at the ceiling and say just a few words. Do you know how much longer he has?

HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic .
Just not being able to focus or disorientation doesn't decrease the life span of a person . But it's what that is causing determines how long a person has ? Also how rapidly his attention , consciousness , orientation is deteriorating determines how much time he has ?
If you can tell me what was the cause he was put to hospice , what diagnosis was made or if you can upload his reports I can advise you better.
