If you were diagnosed with a terminal illness, would you ask your doc for drugs?

Yes. Loads and loads and loads of 'em. I'd probably OD and die when things start getting too bad. (This sounds way too lighthearted for such a serious topic. 8))

I wonder.. Would the doc prescribe ketanest if you asked for it in this situation? Is he allowed to? When it's clear you don't need it for pain management or any 'legit' purpose?
 
Wouldn't they automatically give you drugs? I thought they did for most terminally ill patients.
 
Nah I would take the IV's out of my arms and leave the hospital. My friend's would be waiting outside in the whip and then we would go get fucked up. I don't need a doctor to give me drugs. I'd rather do heroin, psychedelics and shit instead of pills. If they were going to shoot me up with drugs I would sti ll decline because I wouldn't want to die doped up in a hospital bed.

Erm, but if you could get pharm grade ampoules of morphine or w/e you desire to take home? I believe it wouldn't be hard to get that as a terminal patient. I'd use illegal drugs too, ofcourse, but I'd totally get a load of prescriptions too.

yea you;d rather die in a ditch with your pants down face down in used condoms.

My Grandfather, a christian scientist (pray to god, get real life healing results, once ate poison oak to prove his faith to himself, he was fine btw), denied all medical diagnosis/treatment on his deathbed, up until the last few days when he was prescribed some kind of opiate to ease his pain. He literally wasted away, lost nearly half his body weight, and made it right up to deaths door without taking a drug in his 81 years of life.

Fucking badass if you ask me, and i don't think any less of him for needing some kind of relief in the end. I just wish me and my brother took the opportunity to offer cannabis instead of pharmaceuticals, that made him not quite himself, but to be fair herb could have had the same effects.

Personally, i would just consume massive amounts of cannabis, nothing else. And on my deathbed share a lsd trip and a joint with anyone who cared to join in. But that would only happen if i was unable to find my own way to deaths door on my own time/terms. Perhaps sunset atop a rockface cliff while on mescaline, with close friends/family. At dusk, i would say i love you all, all of humanity, how much i apprecciated all of your contributions to my life, and wish all things the best of luck, before spread eagling backwards to my inevitable passage.

Honestly? I don't know...

I want to say no, but I am a recovering addict.

But I think I would want the end of my life to be something different and more than the worst, darkest part of my life.
 
There's a part of me that wants to say.. No way.. I want to live out my remaining days sober and clear headed.. enjoying what little life I have left

However... if I were in this situation in real life.. I'd definitely just do a shit load of drugs. :\

Loloolollll

Nah, I know my friends wouldn't allow that to happen since none of them really do dope besides a few but most dope users I'm not even friends with... I don't trust a lot of them especially since most dope users around my age end up being some shady people. My friends always tend to save me when I'm in trouble. I'm surprised my best friend hasn't clocked out yet.

I also would just be using the same as I am now just without caring... I usually take care of myself anyways. I can handle my drugs except this one incident at a party but even then I still knew what was going on.

But hey I guess I can still say better than dying in a hospital bed... I guess the whole team wanted to hit a terminally ill person...

Absolutely. A few months' worth of narcotics and a single script for a barbiturate and ondansetron would be all I'd need. This is, in fact, my ideal endgame scenario. From where I'm sitting, the situation is pretty clear: Setting aside such freak occurrences as sudden illness (stroke, etc.) or mechanical trauma (bleeding out from severed limb), everyone dies sooner or later - of disease. As in, chronic, painful, degrading, debilitating disease. Again, barring sudden illness, infection, or injury, dying of some miserable, basically intractable chronic pathology (e.g., cancer) is one of the few things I can reliably count on. When that time comes, and the prognosis is clear, I'll just refuse treatment, get my shit together, continue to live as well as possible until the symptoms overtake me, then do the deed and get this life over with.
 
I'd ask for Morphine ERs, levorphenol, or Oxycodone 30s for sustained release of pain. Oxymorphone IRs for break through pain. Ketamine for increased analgesia incombo with the opioids (would need to find a cool doc who has read the research on ketamines usefulness incombo with opioid painkillers). Some sort of benzo for PRN when anxiety shows itself (benzos can help reduce pain as well). And last marijuana to help make the pain easier to deal with as well has help increase analgesia of opioids.

If I lived some where where they prescribed ketobemidone, I'd add that into the mix
 
I would go enjoy life for a week, and return asking for a OD of opiates. If they said no, I'd go find the drugs myself and end life.
 
Absolutely not. In my opinion that is the last time to live even more helplessly and detached from the surrounding world.

I appreciate, though, how some hospice care workers and the hospitals they work in conjunction with, make available compounds of mescaline to recently terminally ill diagnosed "patients". In an effort to help them see the world in a different light per se. in hopes of new found optimism, which often turn out to be the case.

Plus there is personal will, and being intentionally inebriated and dependent on a substance can be entirely disruptive of the survivor instinct inherent in us all.

Damn, dude... your grandfather sounds like a total badass for sure. Can't even imagine how one goes about all that without taking anything...

Not sure about the whole throwing-yourself-off-a-cliff bit with friends and family around, but I can understand your wanting to choose the how, when, what and where of your own imminent demise. It's kind of scary and depressing when you think about it, that one really has no control over their own death...
 
Of course! I'd be a mess 24/7.

I didn't know that mescaline was used in palliative care, that's a great initiative. «In hopes of new found optimism»... couldn't have said it better. Nothing would be more inhumane than letting a dying person approach his/her death in pessimism and terror. It must be fucking scary to say the least. I can only hope that my fellow human beings will be kind enough to spare me when my time comes and to help me restore some kind of optimism.
