The suffering bit that everybody dreads.
When my lad was in RMCH sepsis, necrotic pancreas and an hospital bourne infection he was climbing the walls despite being on Iv ket /Iv morphine/iv paracetamol. The pain team got involved and started to reduce the pain relief causing an immediate escalation in his condition. Had a bit of beef with one of the consultants who gave me chapter and verse on the long term effects of opiate use..."Look at him, and you are worried about how he will be in 6 month, you are not even sure he will be alive next week"...seemed to wake him up and the opiates got turned back up.
