Question Answered step-by-step Noura was a 52-year-old woman who had suffered chronic back pain… Noura was a 52-year-old woman who had suffered chronic back pain for many years. She had repeated admissions in an attempt to find the cause, all without success, and her only relief came from the Pentazocine which she had taken for years. Along with the doctors, Sister agreed that sterile water should be given as a substitute without Noura’s knowledge, as it was believed that Noura was so addicted that it was difficult to know whether she really had pain or not. Gradually, Noura’s analgesia was replaced with the water, despite her complaints of cramps, nausea, and pain. After a few weeks she was told that her drugs had been substituted and that it was now possible to control her pain with a milder and safer analgesic.
