i really don't know what to think about it. Im just hoping there are ethical reasons behind it. Like a doctor who did prescribe me a heavy painkiller that pretty much knocked me out... Sat down with me and told me how much he didn't want to prescribe them to me, but he didn't see any other choice with my only option being removal of the tooth by the specialist... So i just kind of figured docs didn't want to prescribe them and be responsible for a young healthy persons addiction to these pills.... But it still kills me that they get scammed all the time or there are just really shady doctors thats precribe that stuff with no issue. There have only been two times i have requested painkiller in my life, the first time i was basically told to suck it up by three walk in doctors and emerge. I couldn't sleep, eat, swallow or talk. I had to buy like twenty percs off some crackhead to get through it and get some sleep. With my tooth i spent so many nights in so much pain and not sleeping more than a few hours if i was lucky. I remember being at the hospital for 11 hours waiting for a prescription, because i couldn't take it anymore. I hadnt slept or been able to relax or go through my day without constant intense pain in days... I saw a doctor for no more than a few minutes... And i got t3's. Im telling you... That pain is enough to consider putting a bullet through the brain. I went through half a bottle of ibuprophen that night and whatever was left of my prescriptions.... The way i was treated makes me sick. My only options at that point were to buy them off of people who were prescribed them and didnt need them. Thats what pissed me off even more. I wouldnt have minded paying out of pocket for the scripts. But to have to resort to a drug dealer really didnt seem fair.Your tying Ethic to doctors who readily offer more than T3 is interesting in that it's as much the ethic of the patience. Approximately one third of the population get little or no relief from Tylonal type meds, requiring much stronger pain killers for simple relief, burt must alway keep an eye on the addictive qualities of the same meds. If the doctor has a history with the patient, it's not hard to spot abuse, burt if you have patients who regularly use walk-ins, it falls on the dispensing industry to keep the eye on abuse. Unfortunately they don't compare records. I have private medical coverage and unless I want to pay full price for anything, not covering it by my policy at much less of a price, everything I take is recorded. When I've gone on extended trips I have to make special arrangements to have more than a certain amounts dispensed at one time. They also won't cover much of an over lap.
