I generally agree, but a lot of unsuspecting people get hooked by prescription drugs given to them by trusted doctors and hospitals after they have had operations and are in pain.
Our medical profession prescribes to many of these drugs and also prescribes too long a period of taking these drugs and by the time the pills are all taken, the patient can be hooked on them. -Tom
I know a bit about post op pain having had more than one major surgery Was given dilaudid after most recent. Pain is an antagonist to getting high. But I switched to Advil two days after getting out. So it hurt. BFD. Worse than a little piece of frag in my leg many years ago. Advil made it tolerable. I still didn’t want to get dependent on the shit. And one of the side effects of opioids is constipation which sounds funny but really isn’t. Point being you don’t have to get hooked. And the surgeons did NOT push me to take dilaudid. Told me to alternate Advil and acetaminophen ever couple of hours.

Imagine you are injured in an accident.
Do you want to tell the jury that you are taking aspirin, or a medication for serious pain like opiates?
