A qualitative study on palliative needs of stroke patients in an Indian tertiary care setting - Doctors & #39; perspective
Conclusions: From the interviews of the clinicians, we can conclude that care of a stroke patient is more than medical management and rehabilitation, as several other aspects of the patient's life are affected by the condition. The quality of life aspect has to be looked upon as an area that requires active intervention in a setting of stroke.

The Evolution of an Inpatient Palliative Care Consultation Service in an Urban Teaching Hospital.
CONCLUSION: We describe the evolution of palliative care in a safety-net hospital. Medicine services which are largely resident run adopted early.
