<As a physician how do you balance risk and the need for palliative care? Any physician cannot practice medicine if we could not give painkillers. It would be barbaric. “Oh you’re dying of metastatic lung cancer, but if we give you morphine for pain, you may die a day earlier?” What do you do, not give the medicine? So it is usually disease and illness that is responsible for a patient’s death. The intention is to alleviate pain and give the patient the best quality of life. That is part of the Hippocratic oath, that I’m not going to let you die in misery and agony. It was a very, very helpless, helpless experience. All you could do is make them comfortable.> msnbc.msn.com
