(49,212 posts)Her doctors were giving her a wildly inadequate dose of a not particularly good non-narcotic pain medication. It didn't work for shit, but by god, she wasn't getting high on it. They also REFUSED to refer her to any doctor who could or would give her better pain medication.
So she tried to kill herself. And failed.
They cut her pain medication BY HALF to punish her and to keep her from trying again.
They also refused to arrange for her to get a wheelchair and tried to refer her to physical therapy to strengthen her legs. Again, she was dying. So she spent her last weeks unable to leave her home. Her wheelchair was delivered the week she died.
But by god, she wasn't going to die lazy or or high on their watches.
I wish there was a hell so everybody who tormented her could burn in it.
