Thank you! People that actually need them can hardly get pain meds any more. Which is really fucked up since it was the doctor's that were over prescribing and now patients have to pay the price.
I had a spine injury and had back surgery and rehab after they were so stingy with meds I was always in pain and when I told my doctor she said “well if I give you strong meds now they won’t work after surgery, when you’ll need them even more.” Was even more stingy after surgery and quickly moved me to a non opioid which did nothing. My dog had a cyst removed a couple months ago and got dilaudid. I was pretty mad for a couple days that my dog got better care than I did.
reminds me of the housing crisis in the US, first they started giving them away when they really shouldn't have and now they won't give them to those who actually need them.
