Such kinds of doctors make me sick. Over in Brittain, isn't it legal to use Heroin in cases where the patient is termanally ill?
In my mind, a doctor should prescribe whatever meds a terminally ill patient wants, at ever increasing doses if necessary, so that the patient at least can die in comfort.
Its like "Hey, I have respect for human life, I am going to just make a patient who is already going throug hell (with terminall illness) and put them through more hell, (drug withdrawl).
