RANA:
Right…
ROB:
And believe me, I’ve tried them all.
RANA:
(STUDYING HIS NOTES) You’re not using the Prednisolone any more?
ROB:
The steroids? No – Consultant told me there was a risk of osteoporosis –
bones falling to bits…
RANA:
Er, yes, I do know what osteoporosis is.
ROB:
They’d stopped working anyway.
RANA:
You’re with Professor Spalding?
ROB:
Yes. For all the good it does me.
RANA:
Hmmm. Did you discuss the possibility of Beta-Interferon? I believe he’s
been getting some quite good results with some patients.
ROB:
Not eligible. Wrong postcode.

RANA:
OK. And how can I help?
[ROB AND JANICE LOOK AT EACH OTHER]
ROB:
I’ve heard you’re into some of these alternative treatments. I mean, I’ve
tried a few things in my time. Acupuncture, reflexology, hyperbaric
oxygen… all useless.
RANA:
Well, some MS patients respond favourably to those therapies.
ROB:
I don’t. And I get these pains in my leg. Spasms, you know.
RANA:
Yes, that’s not uncommon.
ROB:
Dr McGuire put me on paracetamol, but I can’t take those all day. I
want to try something else.
RANA:
There’s a variety of painkillers we can look at…
ROB:
Cannabis. I want to try cannabis.
RANA:
OK. Now of course I can’t prescribe cannabis…
ROB:
That’s what Dr McGuire said.
RANA:
You’ve discussed it with him?
ROB:
Yes. He was dead against it.
RANA:
Hmmm.
ROB:
A mate of mine with MS, he uses it – grows his own – and he says it’s
fantastic. He never gets the muscle pains any more. He’s an ex copper
too…

[HE LOOKS TO RANA FOR A RESPONSE, BUT RANA
REMAINS IMPASSIVE]
ROB:
(WITH INCREASING DESPERATION) Doctor, I don’t want to break the
law. I’ve never even had a parking ticket, but I’m at my wit’s end, I
really am. I’ve got to try something to get rid of this pain.

DAY 1. 09.30
RANA:
I’m sure Dr McGuire has explained the risks involved.
ROB:
He just said it was illegal…
RANA:
Which it is. There is also some evidence to suggest that cannabis has
carcinogenic properties, and obviously if it’s smoked with tobacco, that
presents its own health risks too.
ROB:
