I posted this in another thread, but I work with a woman whose husband is disabled and is in severe, chronic pain. Her husband's doctor wanted to prescribe OxyContin. She said absolutely not, under no circumstances whatsoever, whether it relieved his pain or not, she simply refused to have it in the house, because she was afraid (a.) her husband would get hooked, (b.) someone would break into the house and try to steal the Oxy, possibly (c.) killing the entire family in the process.
