Dr. Robert Martin was my personal doctor for some years. He was thorough, caring, very kind and personable. I presume, had he been on hospice duty, he would not have minded at all being awakened so he could prescribe pain-killing drugs for a dying patient...especially a fellow physician. The Mat-Su Regional response here is the usual bureaucratic bulldust! The losers who let this man of medicine suffer no longer work here. And...new policies are in place. What "new policies?" Are they now promptly prescribing pain-killers for terminal patients?
