Balancing the availability of opioids—the pendulum is swinging again (Editorial)



open access: Balancing the availability of opioids—the pendulum is swinging again 

 For cancer pain, strong opioids are frequently required and there is good evidence to support their use. The general rule is to titrate doses until either pain relief is achieved or adverse effects become intolerable. There is no good evidence to support the notion that cancer patients will become addicted to these drugs but doses will probably increase as the tumour progresses. The tragedy is that fear of addiction has led many developing countries to severely restrict opioids so that in practice they are either not available or only available in sub therapeutic doses. Such an approach, in my view, is morally indefensible.

CMA/IPSO: 2016 National Report Card: Canadian Views on the New Health Accord



(July 2016) Introduction
These are the findings of the Canadian Medical Association’s (CMA) 16th annual National Report on the Health Care System in Canada. Since 2001, the CMA has asked Canadians to assign letter grades to their healthcare system overall and to a number of key aspects of the system. In addition, each year the National Report also examines a specific area of the healthcare system. This year, Canadians were asked a series of questions about their views concerning the Federal, Provincial and Territorial Governments’ negotiations in the lead up to a new national Health Accord

What went wrong with Canada's assisted dying law

article and author: Gary Bauslaugh


Who has the right to die? In his new book The Right to Die: The courageous Canadians who gave us the right to a dignified death, author Gary Bauslaugh examines the stories and experiences of those individuals who want to end their life or have given this practical end-of-life assistance.....
 
It could have been so simple.
The Supreme Court of Canada made a clear ruling on assisted death and all the Liberals had to do was construct legislation that was in compliance with that ruling. The heavy lifting was already done.
