My mom was in agony with her pain, and it felt like the Dr. and hospitals in our city wouldn't give her any medication to help ease her debilitating pain. At night she would throw her arms and legs around with gut-wrenching screaming for it to stop. some mornings she would be on the opposite side of her bed just from tossing and turning. She even broke her arm from falling out of bed one night and still they gave her Ibeprophin and sent her home. it was horrible. being her caregiver I wanted so badly for her pain to subside, but what was I going to do? A friend was over one night talking about their addiction to heroin and fentanyl and explaining that it all is derived from opium and poppy plants, the same as pain killers. They have similar side effects and do the same things to our bodies but cost a fraction of the price. however, it's made by the same people who sell it to you which creates a whole new set of factors and issues with regard to the product you are trusting they will give you. This intrigued her to want to try narcotics to help her finally get some rest and escape from her overwhelming amount of pain. my mother died of a fentanyl overdose recently and I am in no position to respect her wishes of being buried instead of burned when she died because of the price. It makes me sick to think that people with enough of this green piece of paper can have anything they want while nobody else can even die with respect and dignity, or even choose whether or not they want to be buried when they are taken away from this world because the hospitals won't help with the proper medication because they are worried about getting in trouble so they send people home to fend for themselves and self medicate instead of hold true the oath they make at the beginning of there careers.
