As to the pain meds, more than likely it was the physician that would not give him enough. I was travel nursing in Scottsbluff a few years ago & experienced such a doctor. He had the nerve to chew me out because I bothered him for pain meds for a cancer patient while he was playing goLf. Why did he become a dr if he didn't care about patients more than golf. His pts never had enough pain meds. His excuse was they wouLd get addicted but what the heck if one is terminal. Also, according to a doctor friend of mine, the new healthcare act is limiting the pain meds he can prescribe & it was understandably angering him that the government. Was acting like it knew more about medications than he.
He is pain free now & had guides there waiting for him so I hope that will giver her a small amount of comfort.
