A member asked:
Will a patient who is suffering from an extremely painful cancer and will certainly die be allowed to die in pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain not tolerated: In my practice, excessive pain is not tolerated. This is especially true for somebody who has a limited survival. Talk with your doctor about what options are available.
