I know of two people at the moment with back problems who have gone to pain management specialists and are receiving oxycontin. They don't take huge quantities, and it's helping.

"Thousands upon thousands" != "all". I'm glad your friends were lucky enough to get the help they needed without running into a brick wall.

Pain management specialists can usually be found in any phone book, and they will prescribe according to directions. What they will not do is put you on massive quantities, as Rush was alleged to have bought.
