Alison, I will reply in more detail later. Unfortunately, at the moment,
I am in far too much chronic pain to respond and which could be quite
easily solved if the NSW health bureaucracy were to allow me access to
adequate pain relief such as mscontin, oxycontin, morphine or methadone.
However, the NSW health bureaucracy will only grant this when when I am
in the final weeks of my life and even this I cannot be sure of and
despite the fact that they are in breach of United Nation's charters to
which the Australian government is a signatory. People in chronic pain
are in no position to take the government to the world court. Hopefully
the few Di-Gesics I am allowed for the next month or so combined with
Nuraphen Plus will provide enough of a window to take possible further
action. I however fear that I will spend this opportunity revising my
current novel, adding some more verse to the Bar-B-Q and writing up some
more poetics theory. But then, this is life in Australia. I regret not
taking the opportunities I have been offered to migrate to the UK or the
USA where I would be treated with more humanity.
best wishes
Chris Jones.
