*'' I have a ? about pall care vs dc treatment
Pts are transfered to D5 from the icus to die  I put in my 1st admit pall care and I add d/c treatment, does icu put pall care in acquired as well as d/c treatment  or do I put in my 1st admit the cause of their demise with d/c treatment. How do you wish these cases to be coded. (Pat Stein)
