I am one such person myself, I daily live on pain meds due to a condition I have. I am fortunate enough to have a specialist who understands that I need it in order to have any quality of life. This is not always the case, and it needs to change. There is NO Reason for anyone to live in pain, yet some doctor's are so scared of addiction or whatever, that they won't help their patients.
I was thinking today about this, what would I do if I didn't have such a good doctor? I understand this all to well, and if Rush needed the meds, he should have got them from the doctor, but who knows if he could have or not? I have seen all too many times the attitudes in the medical profession concerning Chronic pain sufferers and it needs to be addressed!!!
