Question
I am an expert in Hospice.  I have had three questions from the same individual, each slightly more bizarre than before.  The first question seemed a little odd, wanting to know "what death looks like."  A few days (if memory serves) later, he (or she) rephrased the question and my response was that I had already answered it.  Today I get a question from him (or her) wanting, essentially, personal information: am I a nurse in a hospital.  I am unsure why I am hesitant to respond to this person, I feel uneasy, and, frankly, I'm not sure I need to respond to this.  If I'm wrong, tell me, and I'll answer, but I'd really rather deal with the topic of hospice care...  thanks

Answer
I've reviewed the questions. I believe the questioner is not a native English speaker and something is getting lost in translation. It's perfectly okay to reject a question if you do not feel comfortable answering it. If she continues to ask you these odd questions, let me know and I will block her from the site.
