Carol [Pattinose] oral history interview
Identifier
Abstract
Oral history interview with Carol Pattinose conducted by Gayle Allen for the KDWN Radio Lifelines Oral History Interviews on Nursing.
This interview is undated but likely took place between 1988 and 1999, the time span that "Lifelines with Gayle Allen" was taped by KDWN Radio.
Carol Pattinose, a registered nurse at Nathan Adelson Hospice, defines terminal illness and discusses the reasons a patient might be admitted into a hospice. She talks about quality of care associated with end of life and how hospice care is more of a philosophy of care rather than a place someone is admitted, where the main goal is to keep patients comfortable in their own homes and assist with pain control.

Nathan Adelson Hospice
Nathan Adelson Hospice, founded in 1978 in Las Vegas, Nevada, provides hospice and palliative care to over 350 patients per day. It is named after Nathan Adelson, administrator of Sunrise Hospital, who died from stomach cancer in 1978. Adelson’s son Merv built Sunrise Hospital along with business partner Irwin Molasky; after Nathan’s death, the developers recognized the need for pain management healthcare and responded with Southern Nevada’s first home hospice.
