Fentanyl has been used in surgery for a long time. Administered by a anesthesiologist, it is pretty safe. In pill form from a dug dealer, no way.
It is a shame that all pain medications are really hard to get for people in real pain.
I had my hip replaced 10 years ago and I was on "dial a smile" in the hospital. The morphine IV drip that the patient controls for needing more. I was really happy to see that thing go away. I did take the pain pills as directed for a few days after I was sent home. I was happy to get off them.
For terminally ill people, give them all the pain meds they need. I saw my uncle scream in agony when the nurse tried to move him enough to change the sheets. He was on a highest dose of morphine the doctor would prescribe. He died a week later from a horrible cancer. No one should have to suffer through that.
