What countries in the world use methadone as a opiate pain killer for analgesic in pain management. Help!?
I know methadone is available in Mexico. The care is also less expensive there. But here is the thing to consider. Health care is less expensive because there is little to no provision for those who are “broke.” If her money runs out first, it is doubtful that she would qualify for any care in a foreign country. It is also a very sad reality that a majority of medical expenses are incurred in the final six months of life unless there are provisions for a euthanasia option. To the best of my knowledge, only Washington state allows that option in the US. For all of the political rhetoric, the US still probably has the most compassionate and best end of life care in the world. Dignity is of utmost importance to the end. I don’t think that is the answer you were looking for, but it is the most honest one I can give based upon a great deal of work and study in the field of geriatrics. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
