If we're going to watch people slowly die in such circumstances the least we can do is give them all the pain relief they need. Luckily my dad's real suffering only lasted a few days but for some its far worse.

He is on one of those pain relief syringe drivers containing liquid morphine Osem which when it runs out makes a alarm noise which they knew would happen at a certain time and still he had to wait until someone arrived with some more 6 hours later as he needs it continuously because of the terrible pain he is in..
