At my orthopedic surgeons office there is a sign saying that no pain pills will be given until after an operation and then for only 10 days.
Kinda surprising...to me at least.I suppose that it’s possible that the fact that he gave me that many could be because he’s known me for years (I worked at that hospital..and with him...for decades) and,therefore,knew that I wouldn’t do anything stupid (or illegal).
