‘and good people are suffering as a result-’
typical bureaucratic nonsense; why work something out reasonably, when you can overkill it...
I had oral surgery some years ago; pain from sliced gums is quite the exotic experience...naproxen (Aleve) did nothing; hydrocontin with acetominiphen (Norco) worked beautifully...
exactly- yes- it’s true that the pain won’t kill a person- but my goodness- it DOES lessen the quality of life for many people who have to endure Chronic or even temporary extreme pain- I know a person who just had surgery where they could not sit up and had to lay back- for 3 weeks straight- they were able to get pain meds- but really had to beg for them- then they started to get better- stopped the pain meds- but 2 weeks later something went wrong- and had to have more surgery- back to laying down for another 2 weeks- (they could get up but had to lay on couch or in recliner-) There was no way tylenol was going to help that person- and they needed the pain meds for a good 3 weeks- but liberals are pushing for only a 3 day supply when someone leaves hospital- that is just ridiculous- If you coulda seen the pain that person went through trying to maneuver around for 3 weeks- it was awful- and then the next 2 weeks- egads-
There used to be signs in doctor’s offices that said “Are you in pain? Tell us, we have effective medicines that can help” - After this witch hunt is over- those signs will read “In pain? Too damn bad- take a tylenol, not that it will help much”
