The person I travel with takes two rounds of their medication in a given day. If they miss the morning round, their joints lock up and are in severe pain. If they miss their evening round, they risk damage to their graft kidney which could turn into rejection. At each round they take controlled substances to relieve pain. So getting the medication in a timely manner, according to the law, at a price they can afford, and from a doctor that can understand them is a big ask in Moscow in the aftermath of an aviation accident. If they had to choose between intractable pain, inability to move, destroying the kidney that they got from a cadaver, and risking their death and giving someone an additional 30 seconds to get off a plane then I would wager they would take living. I would tend to agree with them.
