Add in the Obama Administration’s implementation of the ACA to kick it up another notch, by gigging doctors that didn’t overprescribe pain killers.

In the Eighties the Navy removed all four wisdom teeth. One had to come out and the doc decided since I was numbed up and it was going to hurt anyway he may as well remove the other three. They gave me a Tylenol III in the chair and prescription bottle with two more tablets, one for that night and one for the next morning.

Fast forward to 2007, I am getting a root canal. I received a 10 day supply of Percocet? I gave it back, that stuff makes me sick to my stomach. So, they gave me a 10 day supply of Tylenol III. I thought what the hell! I took one that night and returned the rest to the base pharmacy.

I do not like narcotics, saw what they did to a family member. Besides, after surgery on my arm, they drugged me up good. I spent the next few hours streaming 70s music and singing along. I could not carry a tune if it came in a bucket. Daughter and wife laughed there butts off and did a video. Have to admit it was funny, watched and deleted it. Better to return the drugs before I started singing again.
