how's that working for you?


If a loved one had brain cancer; the final throes -- what might be expected?
Morphine drip? -- Pain gone?
near coma?
alive?
Family gathered close?
---
What about the beloved son/ daughter?
RAGING MENTAL ILLNESS? BRAIN ON FIRE.
Isn't there medicine? Not there. Prozac is a sugar pill for so much mental pain. The pills are often useless. Vicious pain; Snake bitten pain. Venom coursing.
(doctors know it. pharmacists know it. do you?)
doubtful.
“I don’t see his goddam leg broke,” one of them might say.
"What ‘sicko’ needs pills? Is he hurting? Does he have cancer?"
"Is it just in his head? Is he crazy?"
---
yes.
---
Is it real pain?
---
yes.
---
Is it physical?
---
no. It’s mental pain.
---
But, will he live?
---
No. because of the pain. Physical or mental; it doesn’t really matter. You can see that right?

---

"No"

---
Death is here.
