Inadequate at best

Palliative care in inadequate. A friend was in need of it, but there were only four rooms in the hospital dedicated to palliative care.  If a room became available he would not be transferred because he was on the wrong floor.  The closest palliative care facility was too far away. The palliative care doctor in hospital said "If he goes into distress I will give him a cocktail of drugs from which he will not recover." Sounds like something else other than palliative care.
