Try telling that to an Intractable Pain Patient, cancer patient who can’t get a prescription opioid, while the Illicit Street drug user is now getting clean needles, shoot up rooms with a Narcan Monitor.
US Sen from KY is going to Canada for his hernia surgery. As he’d be lucky to get pain meds and he voted for that.
Vets were the first cut off any pain meds. Younger war wounded are committing suicide as are many civilians. Many who once were capable of taking care of themselves are now bedridden or in a wheel chair. Have major surgery you get the lowest dose for if your lucky 5 days. Any other 3 days. Having just had 11 lower teeth pulled for a denture as FDA drugs damaged them. I had 3 days of 5 mg Oxycontin. 14 pills. Then had to have bone spurs removed same drill. Still waiting for healing process, took 2 weeks before the pain was down. That is considered minor.
Well said. I worry about needing surgery someday and not getting adequate pain meds.
