I have two incurable diseases and do not have long to live. Due to the prescriptions and blood thinners I take, I’m allowed to take only one pain killer.
On my last appointment with my doctor at his clinic, he informed me that he got a directive from the hospital that he cannot prescribe that pain killer any more because it has an ingredient in what meth labs use!
With all the recent articles on being able to end your life in a painless way, I will not go to a rest home and run up more medical bills, so my wife could lose our home.
It’s ridiculous that in this time, with our medical and technological advances, that I have to end my life in a rude way, or live in pain every day.
