@Monty1234 @Usama_Backhair No worries now.
Today, they’d give someone in death agony a couple of Tylenol to combat the deadly opioid addiction.
The pendulum always swings too far & suffering is at either end.
@carmahaz Yup!
My brother broke his foot b/c he fell intentionally on it to avoid falling on their little dog ad killing him, when he went to the e-room they all but called him a drug seeker for wanting pain meds.
He's an army trained RN supervisor who had worked the previous 10 years uninterrupted, STILL they looked at him like a junkie🙄
@Usama_Backhair @Monty1234 @carmahaz a couple years ago, an old lady jumped into my lane from an oncoming lane to hit my vehicle head on. Once I got to the emergency room, they asked me if I "wanted morphine." (Implying I was there just for that purpose)

It's just shocking to me. And there's a better way too. Like @UnTied says, Oxy is a very effective drug if they'd stopped designing it to wear off early so they can sell more, and designed it with the patient's needs in mind, I doubt anyone'd be in this mess who had taken it. You know, there'd be some, but not as bad as it's gotten, which makes everyone get treated like a "suspected drug seeker" first, "patient" second 🤷♂️.

My dad was a PA who worked with chronic pain patients and lost his license for over-prescribing opiods.
They didn't take into account that he was prescribing to people who have long-term pain, many of whom will never be rid of it.
Then there's me -- who has chronic pain that's not helped by opiods. I still get treated like I'm drug-seeking, but what I need are muscle relaxers and nerve pain meds.
@tyghebright @JanetZumba_FalPals @UnTied @carmahaz @Monty1234 that is crap, your dad’s plight 🙄 sorry to hear that. Really messed up. Sorry to hear about your pain,too 🤕 I’ve had very little personal experience with nerve pain, I hear it’s notoriously difficult
