Hi Otter

I am sorry this happened to your brother. But thank God he is still with us. I hope and pray the doctor does not stop his pain medication. The only thing I know about it is that here in the UK. if they think someone is a suicide risk they will give them a very limited supply of meds just enough to do a week. I suppose this could be restricted further to be a supply for just two or three days. The doctor might agree to this. I just hope and pray your brother does get the help he needs from medication and therapy to make a good recovery. Take care. God bless and best wishes from your friend Francis
