Indeed. Many persons who are addicted to prescription medication are rock solid about how their doctors prescribed them and thus, they are not junkies. (My own dear mother thinks it is "okay" to take a million Vioxx a month because her doctor prescribed them.)

Good luck to Rush. This is a thing that is going to dog him for the rest of his life.

There is a fundamental difference between taking any drug – legal, illegal, prescription, protected by the 21st Amendment or banned by Michael Bloomberg – for kicks and taking a painkiller for pain.

Not to your body or brain there's not. It's all the same. Otherwise, good article.

Rock-solid Ted (burp) Kennedy (hiccup) slam:
I haven't checked with any Harvard Law professors, but I'm pretty sure that, generally, adulterous drunks who drive off bridges and kill girls are prosecuted.

Ah, but Teddy Kennedy supports adultery and public drunkenness ? so at least you can't call him a hypocrite!

That must provide great consolation to Mary Jo Kopechne's parents. )

At least Rush wasn't walking into church carrying a 10-pound Bible before rushing back to the Oval Office for sodomy with Monica Lewinsky.

Bingo

Most self respecting men I know would consider it a "vicious" smear to be compared to "the phony TV evangelist Jim Bakker."

Ann: There is a fundamental difference between taking any drug ... for kicks and taking a painkiller for pain.

SG: Not to your body or brain there's not.

Do you really thing she meant it in that sense -

- or was she referring to the legal and moral aspects?

Mr. Limbaugh has the quantity of the pain-killers he was taking going against his physiology. Going for him is that now, finally, he will be able to take off enough time to try to genuinely deal with the problem. If he has to spend 2 weeks lying flat on his back, he can do so.

He wasnt taking any of those friends to a bar to bond with them or whatever.

Rush doesn't drink except for a far a few between wine with dinner.

Wouldn't it be 'fair' if Newsweek offered Ann Coulter AS WELL AS Eric the Liberal to 'balance' their magazine?

The road to recovery for Rush will be as difficult as someone who is addicted to heroin or cocaine, perhaps even worse given his back pain.

Rush was a 3 pack a day smoker and quit cold turkey. Many heroin addicts have talked to the ease in quiting heroin compared to cigarettes. Rush will make it and come out stronger than ever.

"Not to your body or brain there's not. It's all the same. Otherwise, good article."

Yes there is, to your body and your brain. Taking pain meds, to stop pain, is much different, in physiological effect. We give patients gobs of pain meds, while they're in pain, and the chemical/physical reaction is different than when taken with no pain. I have to explain this to my patients all the time, because so many of them ask "am I going to get addicted?" It's when you keep on and on, after the acute pain is gone, that the problems arise. There's much more to be said about this, which I don't have the hours and hours to type, but that's the gist.
