Actually two doctors.

I get a total blood and liver function test every 3-4 months.

This is necessary when using Oxy-codone as well as other types of drugs on a regular basis.

The reasons for my advocacy of these drugs is obvious. These are medical and quality of life issues, not junkie blasting.

I try to point out the difference and the motives behind addiction to prescription pain drugs.

There is a difference and bagging everyone together is dangerous to those who use the drugs correctly and legally.

Furthermore, making it difficult to find a Dr. who is willing to manage someone pain problem is devastating to many who need this service.

There are places where this is true, to be sure. However, as a recovering addict, I am here to tell you that in terms of recovery, there is no difference. Initial motivation is not meaningful when trying to quit.
