Yup. When my Dad was terminal with cancer and was admitted to the hospital again it was to the hospital my aunt worked at. My Aunt told me the story of his last night. I wasn't there. She said she went back in his room that night when they were leaving and showed him how to vary the morphine dose from the machine. So he could do it himself was what I suspected. She never said that and I didn't ask either. But that's what I think.

Well, there would have been the little problem of getting my hands on four shots of morphine in my hometown of under ten thousand, where I will always be little penni chappell, Marion's daughter. Although, I think, had she been in the kind of agony my father had been, I would have tried to talk to the doctors who had grown up with me. Whether I could have done it I don't know, and am only glad I wasn't faced with it. I never thought about an autopsy- but after she died, I just called the doctor and he signed the certificate without having to see her, since he had seen her that week at home, (yes- a real house visit) and she was cremated by the next day. She only weighed about 70 pounds- there was nothing left to autopsy anyway. This is the reason I keep buying biomed companies that have promising cancer research going on.
