If the doctors wouldn’t hand out scripts like they are candy people wouldn’t turn to heroin when they are cut off.
Doctors were mandated by federal regulations to treat pain “as a fifth vital sign” and can be reported to state medical and federal Medicare regulators for “failure to provide adequate pain relief”. That’s where the idiotic “pain scale” that you hear all the time , “on a scale of 1 to 10 what is your pain level?” comes from.
So before you start yapping about doctors giving scripts for narcs like candy, you should educate yourself. Most doctors loathe “pain patients” or “drug seekers”.
I personally always thought that the government should spike as much Heroin, cocaine and pot with toxic substances and eliminate the drug problem in a year.
“If the doctors wouldn’t hand out scripts like they are candy people wouldn’t turn to heroin when they are cut off.”
My scripts have been cut off because doctors say they can no longer prescribe hydrocodone. I’ve been taking it in limited doses for almost 3 years for arthritis and now I need to find something else. I’m told to go to a pain management center that will do other things like painful injections every month or so.
Once again the left are punishing the good for something the bad chooses to use for recreation.
Look in the mirror people...
