If you been on 32ug fentanyl patches for years, like a doctor don't know, that just ending them all cold turkey is gonna give bad withdrawal.. and often the elderly that can't communicate..

    I'm a 61 year old man, and this episode made me cry. My first tears came when I saw John feeling probably hopless and devastated, especially since he had already problems with his brain, I trully hope he has recovered completely and is doing well and happy. Equally emotional but uplifting was Benedict's case, a true example of real fatherly love. I wish Benedict success controlling his addiction, it will be a life long job, but not something he couldn't accomplish, especially with the help of that incredible, loving ad thoughtful father he has. This is by far the episode I've liked the best.

      I was aghast that Benedict spent 3 days in a detox center. With national health care, I assumed that going into a detox program would mean detox AND rehab. Alcohol abuse is draining on public healthcare systems. It seems that a detox program should be contingent on going through rehab as well. Every dollar spent on rehab is a hundred not spent in A&E.

All heard by his recently married older brother who had been on the phone with his dad. I absolutely blame the medication...but he also needed something. Such a tragedy. No one blamed the son. His brain was never the same affer surviving a 30 foot fall in a grain silo.

    I feel really bad about the young guy asking for help with alcohol withdrawals he obviously came before they got too bad and they get bad he probably knows that and planned better to come by before they fully kicked in sadly they sent him away not sick enough but now he’s about to start getting really sick and could turn deadly even. He more than likely went and got a way to get more alcohol to avoid the withdrawals since the hospital didn’t really feel he needed serious care. That’s sad and causes a lot of relapse and also fails for addicts struggling.

      Maybe he meant units of alcohol? Not 74 bottles/cans of cider? It sounds a lot, but I think one unit is 10ml or 8g of pure alcohol, a strong beer is about 3 units. But I admit it sounds really a lot with 74 units. It would mean about 24-25 beers. But then again alcoholics really CAN drink a lot when they're far down on the road to death/institution..

      BS you can't say that at all. Alcoholism is a genetic disorder involving 5 known genes one of which is a protective gene, if that's switched off you have a real issue controlling use or entering into sobriety. It has nothing to do with upbringing per se or neglect. We know this by studying identical twins.
