You might be right. While methadone is used to take the place of addictive heroin, it too is addictive. And I can see how one might use it as a painkiller also.
Somebody said on one of the cable shows that there's no cause to prescribe methadone as a painkiller since less addictive meds are available.
In fact he argued that it would be wrong to use it that way. In the words of Dr Henry Lee..."something wong here". Not that it's never done...but whoever this was viewed it as malpractice. Can't recall who.
But look, she was on all sorts of meds, painkillers, antidepressants and was seen in the hotel lounge downing double shots of whiskey. This is an abuser.
So you give her...methadone?
What's she in pain over? What was Daniel in pain over? No, I don't think so...
