Margaret Ricus, a 64-year-old living in Langley, BC, developed regional pain syndrome after a sidewalk accident in 2005. This nervous condition causes constant burning pain in her hand, disrupting her life and hobbies.
The pain requires fentanyl, pregabalon, and nebula nebula for management, but after her family doctor left, she struggled to find a physician to prescribe them due to concerns about opioid prescriptions. Ricus believes the government has overreacted, affecting legitimate pain patients.
She was essentially offered MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) instead, which she equates to denying other essential medications. Ricus opposes MAID due to her faith, her love for her family, and her role in her church. She hopes to find a doctor who will prescribe her medication so she can live to see her grandchildren grow up.
