And You Wonder Why Some People Get Addicted To Pain Killers
-
A choice you don't want to have to make: This woman, 24 years old, has a condition that causes searing, unstoppable, incurable pain around her left knee. She is trying to raise £20,000 for a hyperbaric oxygen chamber that would give her some relief, but since Britain's NHS health plan doesn't cover her condition, she has to come up with 100% of it. Or... well, she's considering a much cheaper private option: paying £9,000 to have someone amputate her leg. There'd be the cost of a prosthetic leg, and it would make walking a little tough, but it would, one would hope, end the pain. What would you do? (Birmingham Mail)
