50 Milligrams Is Not Enough

Vlad is suffering from incurable brain cancer. Despite his chronic pain, doctors in Ukraine are only able to prescribe minimal amounts of morphine due to bureaucratic restrictions. He is allowed only 50 mg of pain medicine per day. In another country, doctors would typically prescribe more than 2,000 mg for a patient like Vlad.
Millions of people are left to suffer in pain without access to proper medicines. The severity of the pain experienced by patients can be as great or greater than that of traditional torture techniques, and it can last longer. The Campaign to Stop Torture in Health Care is working worldwide to ensure patients have access to adequate pain relief and to put an end to human rights violations and abuses in health care settings. Health care centers should be places that protect human rights and provide relief to patients. Join the campaign: http://www.stoptortureinhealthcare.org/

That nurse had the most striking green eyes I have ever seen. She would be enough for me in a time of need. Yet I feel terrible for Vlad. Bad things happen to good people.

Vlad story touched me, it's so sad he could not get the pain meds he needed! It's inhumane to do this ! I live in the USA & they do treat with pain meds, I suffer from severe chronic pain, & it's no fun & don't know what I would do if I didn't have pain meds, every human in pain should have the right to have pain management!! I Pray for Vlad's mother, may God bring her peace & comfort.
I Pray the laws change in the UK.
Rest in peace, now your not in anymore pain & flying high, running & happy &
