Generally, it takes numerous prescriptions of pain killers as well as other prescriptions to help soothe the pain for a terminally ill patient. This commonly causes doctors to investigate or to have their medical license revoked. Many times to get a doctor to participate there has to be some form of insurance saying that they will…
Virginia Gay Hospital in Vinton, Iowa. I used Phillips equipment in CR form. The patient (67 years old) came in with right thumb pain saying she got it caught in something that Sunday. The order said she was having distal interphalangeal joint pain, and I confirmed with her that area was the most painful. Her hand was very bruised and swollen, but she wasn’t having as much pain as before, so she was able to do the positions well. Due to an odd malfunction with the reader at VGH, there is…

Oracle considered sending out her power into the doctor, but the idea of seeing a blown out knee cap made Oracle’s stomach churn. “There, now give it five minutes to run its course, and you’ll be right as rain.” “Thank you,” Reyes gasped. “Are you hurt?” A gentle hand lifted Oracle’s elbow then released it. Fingers felt around her neck and scalp. Oracle got an image flash of reddish-brown marks forming on her chin and right cheek. Above these bruises appeared a few scrapes, scabbing over. “I…

It is so extreme in fact, anyone who truly endured the deepest of pains would likely agree that even death, a void that contains absolutely no emotion, would be more preferable. Pain weighs down on our souls, blurs the sight of our world, and stops the production that could occur in the…

I advised him to wait a little longer for the medication to take effect but he refused.

Hamlet goes through with the plan…
argument about the gentleman with untreatable throat cancer is known to endure a painful road to death within a short period of time. This case is almost polar opposite to Ms. Reese’s. To allow for passive euthanasia would cause an absurd amount of pain and suffering for the patient when he is bound to die within a relatively short period of time. It would be irresponsible to allow for this patient to suffer so significantly before reaching death directly caused by the cancer. Ms. Reese,…
