Meanwhile this kid i knew ran over his foot with his car in a big scheme to try and get some painkillers from the ER and they gave him ibuprofen and then his insurance provider charged him like 800$ for the visit lol

Lmao

Yah the ER folks deal w drug seeking behavior all day long so that's probably the worst place to try and get narcs.

Dude could've faked a migraine and got some sweet codeine/barbiturate mix from any gp which is hella nice, but god drat can it gently caress you up.

My mom had to get her knee redone yesterday and we had a mandatory presurgery class to do at the hospital where they discuss the nitty gritty of the surgery, and one of the topics was basically what kind of sweet dope cocktail they were gonna have you on during your stay at the hospital and several people were freaking out about the OxyContin/codeine mix they'd have to take. Like addiction is a serious and real possibility, but they give more of a poo poo about you being able to walk after having one of your major joints torn the gently caress out and replaced than your painkiller dependency post-recovery.

yeah yeah tattoos are uncool hipster poo poo, but i dont think its good for doctors to judge people based on superficial appearance if they have legitimate health issues, like an arm that bends 90 degrees at a place its not supposed to.

Thread related, I had a friend who worked in the ER and she had a notorious drug seeker come in and try to get some meds. I don't remember if they turned him away or if he got some ibuprofen or something, but he drove straight home, got his shotgun, drove back to the hospital and blew his brains out in the entryway :(

Acute pain was the most common reason (87%) opioids were prescribed, but doctors said they prescribe opioid pain medication for many other conditions that the NSC considers inappropriate, including:

72% Chronic back pain
63% Chronic joint pain
55% Dental pain
55% Neuropathic pain
32% Fibromyalgia
28% Chronic headaches

lol they give opiates for fibromyalgia?

isn't that a fake disease that housewives say they have just so they can get drugs? I didn't know that they'd give you the good stuff for something so blatant

the American medical industry is almost as hosed up as our politics.

When I got my wisdom teeth out at 16 all I got was tylenol 3. What a gyp.

I copped some dilaudid and oxycodone when I broke my collar bone though. That was a p fun month waiting for surgery.

Didn't really do much for me anyways, and I had to smoke weed constatnly to deal with the nausea, but get the timing just right (like joint 10 mins after pill) and I was flying.

Also poo poo made me crave coffee like nobody's business

People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.
I take vicodin for chronic back pain that other interventions haven't been effective in making a dent in. Not addicted yet, but here's hoping.

While obviously the adds are over the top I do think people need to understand that prescription painkillers are pretty much the same thing as harder drugs they're just more tightly regulated.

heroin is probably safer than a lot of the prescription opioids, it just happens to be slightly more addictive (maybe) and is also illegal
