I am sure you are right about that, I wonder how many times they give a patient morphine to relieve pain knowing that the dose will probably kill them and tbh when the person is in that much pain, perhaps it is kinder.
Some thing else that made me wonder in light of this thread, is that a friend of mine died recently and being young, the hospital staff really did try everything to save him, far, far above and beyond, I can't praise them highly enough, it makes me wonder though, if he had been 60 odd for instance whether they'd have tried as hard?
