lillee, i couldn't agree more! I finaly asked one if he would come into work every day and see paitients if he suffered headaches? He said of course not! Then I said I work every day and i have to have something to do my regular job. There was an article in our paper this Am that talked about a new blue pill circulating that was sold as Oxy. bit it may have one pebble of Fentinaul in it that could kill you instantly. A year and a half my wife suffered a severe infection, unknown, Morphine would not help! They finally gave her fenitnaul(sp?). It cut her miserey. She is still alive and is not hooked on drugs.
I am lucky to have an "OLD TIME DOC" that dosen't believe all the pain pill hype. He an I have a good working relationship and talk about what I need openly. In my state I have to do a urinalist every six months. Every human has some addictive qualities! In many of our cases, the doc or others are not living in our bodies! They don't know our pain we are suffering! We all have different levels of pain!
We are bleesed with mondern medicine that can give us something to make our life a little better.
