Well, it sounds good in theory but it is a failure in practise. They have had a sudden and unexplainable large increase in reporting the degree of pain experienced by patients since they went legal. Hmmm.
Some nephews take auntie shopping and convince her to get with the program. Auntie is elderly and somewhat confused but nephews can help! They can even provide the glass of water to take the pills with.
I thought I saw that the number of suicides under the Oregon law was something like 25 per year. Maybe part of the increase in pain reporting is from patients whose doctors are no longer quite as afraid to prescribe mountains of morphine when nothing else will do.
