makin me want to go to new york solely to take a dramatic photo of the at&t long lines building

i've tried, it's not as easy as it sounds because it's smack in the middle of downtown manhattan and surrounded by larger buildings, so it's really difficult to get an isolated angle

maybe i can try again, idk. sounds like a worthy challenge

I mean yes, doctors who dismiss the opinions of chronic pain sufferers are indeed being as hilariously ableist as doctors who dismiss the opinions of women are being hilariously sexist.

pain medicine has been harder to get for someone of any gender in the past like 5-7 years due to the huge crackdown on opioid prescriptions.

i hosed my back up really bad about 12 years ago and ended up needing surgery but it was scheduled for like 5 months out so the doctor just gave me a giant percocet prescription. seriously giant, 200 pills with like 10 refills before i had to call him again to get another. luckily for me i hated the loving things but they were the only thing making it so i could even mildly function, so when i finally had my surgery i quit cold turkey as soon as i woke up because i felt 1000x better already.

go forward to last year and i did something to my shoulder that made it so i could barely move my right arm and wasn't able to work for like a month, even limited duty because that arm was effectively worthless it hurt so much. the doctors didn't even think about prescribing me a pain killer this time, i got told to buy some motrin and put ice on it.

this is not to say that the majority of doctors aren't ableist/sexist/racist tho, cause they fully are.

yeah i'm pretty sure the only reason i was actually helped at the hospital that day was because I also had a 103F fever so they thought I had meningitis. i got a spinal tap and an MRI that day, it was super fun

~15 years ago i got a months worth of vikes for wisdom teeth removal. ~6 years ago i got about a weeks worth of vikes for top surgery. ~4 years ago i got zilch for eye surgery lol

tbh the eye surgery (not lasic, went under & had stitches on me eyeballs) was fine overall, even without painkillers. the top surgery recovery could have used a bit more coverage for the pain. the wisdom teeth rx was ridiculously excessive

when I had an impacted wisdom tooth out they gave me one shot of valium and told me to gently caress off afterwards lol. just turned me loose half high and a bloody grin.

the other one they didn't even give me that because the dentist was like "yeah I can get this out, we don't need the surgeons".

I used to be able to sell codeine combo medicines otc and it was good for helping people but drat I hated being the arbitrator of it because a lot of people were just looking to abuse

and on some level i’d rather be “loose” with it and help those who needed help and those who were gonna abuse were gonna abuse anyway, but the proper way was to be conservative and risk not helping people

anyway we can’t anymore which sucks except i’m glad I don’t have to act as the police

because i’m naive as gently caress and believe everyone lol

yeah I feel l like the the pendulum has probably swung too far in the direction of not ever prescribing opiods now

I think because of the opiod epidemic its unfortunately just too convenient to pretend that chronic pain doesn't exist in the first place and that these drugs should never ever be prescribed and doctors were only doing it because they were duped by drug companies, because that story pushes all the responsibility onto the Sackler family or whatever and makes it really easy for doctors to just never prescribe them, without having to take any responsibility themselves for deciding if they're needed or not, and anyone who claims to be in pain and need painkillers can just be conveniently dismissed as a drug addict who's faking it
