You know, in Britain they actually give morphine to cancer patients. They allow self injections through IV. There’s a lot of thing the Brit’s have right where it comes to health care, not saying its perfect, but there are just somethings you shouldn’t deny and one of them is adequate pain relief to the sick and dying.

The day before she died, they finally gave her a drip like that.
Her regular doctor didn’t even find the cancer - 3 weeks before she died, she went to a walk-in clinic for the pain, beause she couldn’t get in to see her doctor. That’s who figured it out. When we saw the oncologist, her doctor sent over a sheet with her name on it, but MY FATHER’S medical history and medications. It was a cluster-F from the word go.
