A cancer Dr. told me that there is no reason for any terminal cancer patient to suffer in this day and age.

Government is most certainly the reason, and it happens often. Pain Management is one of the biggest issues along those lines these days. The paranoia over addiction or making addicts means that millions have to suffer more, needlessly. I think you were missing half of the message that the doctor was trying to convey.

‘Sedation’ was derailed because family members complained nurses were sedating patients so they could get their work done on night shifts etc. Which who cares even if they were doing that - try one day to work on a lunatic ward or those with violent dementia - survival getting your crotch gripped so tight it takes four aids to get the patient off. Let alone those in the grip of cancer pain.
