Don't know if any of you read the papers, or look at the online news, but it was in the NY DAILY NEWS this morning.

A home health aide (who has 5 bio kids and two foster kids), had a 6 year old foster child who was complaining of not feeling well. The child was given Motrin. Well, that didn't work, she complained, and the foster mother put a 75 fentanyl pain patch on her carotid artery. She was dead soon after.

It's all the talk of the news shows. Everybody is saying "what was the matter with this mother, putting that pain patch on the child??"

There is a whole page on how dangerous Fentanyl pain patches are, blah blah blah, etc. and how it's only prescribed for end stage cancer and for people with Rheumatoid Arthritis. No mention was made of neuropathy.

I can just see doctors saying "I'm not prescribing this anymore".

Good Lord.

How stupid was this woman??
