Short Q&A from a YouTube video in which David Kessler answers whether a patient can change physicians during hospice care. He states patients may transfer care to the hospice medical director if dissatisfied with their primary physician, and if unhappy with the hospice medical director they should inform hospice because alternatives often exist.

Can I change physicians during my hospice care?
If for any reason you find yourself on hospice care unhappy with your physician, if he's your primary physician who was following your case before, you can certainly turn the care over to the hospice medical director. If it's the hospice medical director you're unhappy with, please let the hospice know. Many times they have alternative medical directors that can also facilitate your care.
