I've been to the ER and seen those people. The ones the staff knows by name.

I've also been to the ER with my wife who they accused of drug seeking after a botched wrist surgery. The doc told her if she had after hours complications to go the ER. We did, and we were treated like bums off the street. As if my wife would have a complex wrist surgery done just to seek pain meds.

There are a lot of people in this country with chronic pain. Unfortunately, the current models for medicine don't really allow doctors enough time with patients to manage the pain and meds. That is some people get hooked in the first place.
