The morphine is for 'end of life' pain...
A bit more than your hernia...
They have p;ain pills here... tough on the old liver - acetaminophen is the favorite - but it works

My father used one--- worked very well...
had a large , plug-in one for the house
and
an over the shoulder carry pack for outside.
Even had his car equipped with a 120 plug system.
When he died my phone rang alot for that car thing....
made his life better
COPD was him - emphysema ... don't get it
you die as if being crucified - suffocation

Our maid’s nephew was in a moto accident. Yesterday he underwent surgery at a hospital in a San Cristobal, had several screws put in his ankle area. Sent him home same day, no pain meds just a paper telling him to take something for pain. She bought something at the colmado, 20 pesos a pill, does little to nothing. I’ll send some Tramadol with her tonight, I can’t imagine the pain he’s in.
That's rough. Sorry. My plan is to hallow out of tooth with some rockin fentynal or similar. I've seen some $hitty deaths and don't trust the docs.
Was it this thread?
where if you can't afford the cancer treatment/pills etc at 'the end'...
they offer you one 'final' solution... affordable too
He was a voluntary breather by the end... 'forcing the diaphragm as a bellows to breath.
Ultimately , a blood clot (too much prednisone ) hit his lung
not a good thing for a non-breather.....
Had a horse fall on me as a young man (22) - crushed my left arm. Two surgeries - plate held the bone together - I have a 14" scar - went home & took meds for one day - made me crazy so I went without - The pain was not as bad as the Vicodin
You're in good company. For whatever reason, those synthetic opiates give me the heebie jeebies. I prefer the pain.
Yes, it runs you about 250 pesos.
I've seen it in action as a neighbor tried suicide. It locks your diaphragm and the person goes completely rigid. The heart continues, so eventually, you lose consciousness and suffocate. It was impossible to blow air into her lungs, so I did old-school respiration by expanding and collapsing her chest. She started to breath after a half hour, so we could get her to the hospital, but she was pretty much recovering by that point.
She said it was a horrible experience and hasn't tried it again.
I just had the headaches... and 104+F temperature that dropped to 101.5 for 9-10 more days.
Hit me on the plane ride POP to Newark..... not much fun
But I do think the 'final' offering given here can be a good solution sometimes.
As I understand it here -
it's considered a merciful way to finish if you can't afford the necessary medications needed for your comfort.
Not free but affordable to many
My pal that had the adrenal cancer...
even my oncologist winced when I said 'adrenal'...
Oh no - there are ways to go --- he said
that's not one of them
So pain can literally be a killer....
I agree. To quote my step mother "we treat dogs better than we do people". Of course, it needs some rules as you don't want people offing each other to get at the inheritance or an easy divorce.
As for the RD, my girlfriend claims everybody knows about it. When you're tired of living, you just go to the farmacia and ask for it. Everybody knows what it is for.
