I've been having an interesting debate regarding physician assisted death and as part of this debate the question of end of life conditions for terminal patients has come up.
A long time heathcare provider (an RN) has asserted that it is possible to completely eliminate pain in patients during the final days of their life. My own experience and conversations with a few physicians have suggested otherwise. I thought this would be the place to come for some more focused opinions.
Is it possible to completely eliminate the pain associated with diseases like cancer as patients the patients enter the final transition into death.
