@migizii Tramadol is now a controlled substance in most areas. As demeaning as it is to sign these agreements it is just one of the many hoops we go through due to the abuse of such substances. I know I now go back to the pain specialist every 3 months for a urine screen. Does it make me feel like a criminal? Yes it does and it is only because of the “real” criminals. I think it is called equality for all or some such garbage. Treat everyone like a criminal

@parus I would feel as you do about Tramadol It just isn't right to punish those who really need it for pain and that is just what it feels like 😢
I don’t know how much I would mind this (other than the obvious “criminal stereotype” but I know actual people who have been denied needed pain medication at our local emergency room due to these signed documents being part of their electronic records. Thats why I’ve refused to sign it, thus far.

Isn't that the case with so many things, not just medicine?
Those who are doing the right thing suffer because of those who don't.
I guess when you are talking about a sum total of millions of people, it is just easier to make a blanket rule, this way, no one in particular are signaled out.
I remember my beginning years as a principal, a teacher came up to me with much the same complaint, "Just because a couple of are not___ , why do we, who are doing the right thing have to suffer?" It did open my eyes and I tried to be very aware of that.
Don't get me wrong, now that I am on the other side, I think it sucks!
