I’m sorry if Your Uncle misused the drugs BUT why should I and others live in constant pain because of misuse by others ?
I read your post #11.
You’re pissed because the ER doc refused to write you a scrip when they asked you about your broken ankle and blah blah blah, for which you evidently expect free treatment.
My uncle was still being prescribed oxy for the pain related to the degeneration of his hip joints, which were also scheduled for replacement at the time of his death.
As a side effect, the opiates also affected his coping mechanisms for emotional stress.
Since you’re a self-proclaimed, publicly/welfare funded, expert - why don’t you tell the class exactly where the line between legitimate pain control use and the off-label side effects is?
