Putting it in script form was weird... I was thinking Chastity’s back wouldn’t be hurting if she would stay off it.
*shrug*
I’m in a weird mood.
ER doctors have been passing out Vicodin and Percoset like small packs of M&M’s for YEARS. That has to stop. and I think it finally is slowing down.
Wrecked him? Darned near killed him!
“....Is this only in Appalachia? Hardly. The inner cities experience similar problems.
But the greater problem, and perhaps the greater tragedy, is that many of those in positions of influence — in medicine, politics, education — know it. But they’re afraid to point it out for fear of being branded judgmental or unkind. I think not telling the truth is the unkindest cut of all....”
Anyone who has worked in an ER has seen this play out time and time again. His closing statement is dead on. This scenario is not limited to any region nor it is limited to any economic level. The well heeled are just as likely be drug seekers as the flat broke.
This story is more true than fantasy, and in a way I don’t blame the people, human nature being what it is. This all goes back to the Great Society and the generational impact of government providing a so called “safety net” for the poorer souls out there. If you provide a freebie out there, people will find a way to exploit it.
There is a complete network these people have created, and they are as sharp as lawyers in understanding and taking advantage of every government program out there.
That is incredibly condescending and insulting......................
Consequence of licensing and fees for everything. People who once worked, and worked hard develope an instant sense of entitlement when a society legislates their jobs away. It does not take being born into it, as the leftists understood well when they planned this.

A doctor that I know became a pain pill dispenser. It usually happens with doctors who aren’t very good at what they do. The addicts know which doctor to hit. Even worse, the doctors tend to hire nurses that fall for sob stories.
It isn’t a pain problem. It’s an addiction problem.
Subsidized dependency.
