ANd just who is to determine who is severe pain. Will they then have an agency that will decide whether someone qualifies or not.
I will never forget when I was caring for my mom when she was dying. We were in the hospital, she had just had a feeding tube put in, she was given something but it was not enough. I asked the nurse for something else or more of whatever it was. This gal comes in and was just so abrupt and rude and tells my mom to rate her pain. I spoke up and said " IT HURTS" period. I was not really nice about it. Good grief, the woman is dying and it was tht important for them to make her wait until someone came in her room and told her to rate her pain. I was pissed.
Anywho, I don't understand how someone else can feel or tell or judge whether someone would "qualify" for meds. Everyone is so different. Some have a high tolerance and some a low tolerance. And no one is able to feel the pain other than the one in pain, and that person should not have to worry about passing a test. Geez!
