Doctors routinely give out narcotics to anyone who claims to have pain. I’ve been offered narcotics where I didn’t have pain at all. In my profession I have seen dozens of people’s lives destroyed because their doctors overprescribed narcotics. I have also seen a lot of patients who are supposed to be taking large doses of natcotics but test negative for the drugs when they are given urine tests. And the doctors still write the prescriptions for more. The patients are obviously selling the drugs on the street.
And a lot of these drugs are being paid for with tax dollars and then end up being sold on the street to people who rob your house and person to get the money to feed their addictions.
Gee, doctors aren’t to blame. Not all all.
Like any profession, there are good docs and bad docs.
Hope someone gave some pain meds to Kershaw after the last outing. I assume he’ll be going on short rest tonight. Hope they don’t burn his arm out.
The problem is the a$$hole druggies - total wastes of skin and air. There may be something more useless than a junkie, but I'm not sure what (maybe a NYT editorial writer or a Democrat senator?)
