That's not it, pacients in hospitals nowadays rarely have physical pain.
They do, however, have a lot psychological pain, knowing that they are not going to survive is painfull indeed, but being unable to finish that pain is something not even the medics sometimes can take. That's why there have been some cases where doctors have been sentenced because they practiced euthanasia on very terminal pacients, which is something I absolutely agree with, IF the pacients family also agrees, with a just reason. The pacient suffering can indeed mistake him sometimes to wish death, when there is still hope of healing.
Still, most of times the family will try to make him survive, to show him his grandsons, whatever. But that's selfish, imo.
