If only it were that simple. How many of us have pain killer prescriptions that doctors insisted we fill, but didn’t need? Sometimes I wonder if it’s lazy doctors who don’t want to be bothered with calls if people actually need these poisons. So many people have become addicted because of a pain killer instead of working through the pain.

don't put all the blame on the docs....everyone should look themselves in the mirror and honestly admit that they are disappointed when the doc doesn't prescribe "something"...

we expect drugs and we get them...antibiotics, pain pills....we want them...

and the docs have to follow Jacho in that all pain must be treated no matter what and must be documented that you treated it....
