As an anesthesiologist frequently involved in critical and intensive care, I often treat terminal cancer patients for, among other things, side effects of chemotherapy. Some of my treatments include: invasive central venous catheters for transfusions secondary to chemo induced anemia and neutropenia, management of pain and refractory nausea/emesis secondary to chemo. If a medicine can obviate or at least reduce the use of a toxic drug(such as chemo), then it would noticeably affect the pain and suffering I witness and treat.
