ended her life through intervention assisted euthanasia – suicide.
This poor intractable chronic pain pt, from a work place injury, after having lost all her pain meds, to be able to put a end to her physical pain. Now, the family left behind is suffering. Our politicians and bureaucrats talk about HARM REDUCTION, apparently that only applies to those dealing with mental health issues and dealing with some SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER.
This Administration, Congress, and numerous bureaucrats at city/county/state levels are all about DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion). Regardless if the number is 10’s or 100’s of millions of people dealing with chronic pain. The chronic pain community is the largest minority in our country.
The Fed agency in charge of enforcing the Americans with Disability Act is part of the DOJ as is the DEA. Might be the reason that they never have the resources to handle a civil rights violation/discrimination of the chronic pain community.
How many others – like Jessica – is living/existing in a torturous level of pain – NO HARM REDUCTION HERE – NO INCLUSION HERE – NO EQUITY HERE. How many Jessica’s are no long among us, took a similar path of Jessica and just “faded” from being part of the community.
