How did it happen?

Old people are in pain too, and sometimes that spirals out of control just like anyone else.

Which part? MS? Opiates not causing euphoria? Or what are you referring to?

I know, what I'm trying to say is that we should not deprive them of the options to reduce their pain because some self-destructive junkie (who probably has their own issues) decided to kill themselves.

I was asked how I saw an old lady die from an opiate overdose.
Oh yeah I'm curious about the specifics.
If you saw it, I can assure you, you wouldn’t.
