The persecution of MDs who prescrib pain killers has gotten so bad that many are afraid to give adequate doses even to terminal cancer patients. After all it is far better that thousands of people die in pain than if they were to use (shudder) narcotics. After all they might get addicted, eh?

Sadly this is the result of empathetic physicians and unethical patients as well as an overzealous DEA.

The physician is always the scapegoat....even when the prosecution and the patient are complete idiots....

Yet prescriptions have almost doubled in eight years according to the article.

I caught on to your sarcasm and agree.

I think that terminally ill patients should be able to have all tha painkillers they want. Sure, they are addictive. But at least they can live out their days in comfort.
