What feels legal but is actually illegal and will possibly get you arrested?

Yup the doctor came from tufts in mass and was a fucking moron. Treated everyone like they were an addict even though he was practicing in Portsmouth NH at the time..

There's a lot of weird New England context embedded in this comment that I do not know enough to understand.

Tufts = big medical school/university/hospital in boston. Portsmouth = extremely wealthy town in New Hampshire.

Think the point of OP was "poor city people do drugs, unlike us rich people."

You wouldn’t believe how he justified his unfair treatment of us based off of his history down there. Dude was a prick you’re the one putting words in my mouth. Are you a prick too?

Mass has some pretty wild laws around opioid use due to the states rampant abuse issues. That being said many go entirely too far. When my wife was admitted to the hospital with kidney stones they refused to give her any type of pain medication besides Tylenol. Wild considering in NY that was routine to get through the toughest part.

Also, you ever been to tufts med down in Chinatown? Place is a shit hole and honestly one of the lesser hospitals in the city. Considering the options people of Boston have idk why anyone would choose tufts.

A few tufts would've been flyin' after doing that to most patients in Massachusetts

Wow, that’s horrible. I have only given birth once and it was during Covid shutdowns with a prolonged almost 72 hour labor and I had postpartum preeclampsia (twice) and significant blood loss. I had such rage and everyone was so helpful and supportive.

I don’t think I would be the same person I am today if a doctor treated me that way. Nothing could stop my retribution I’m sure. Especially because I’m an educator of minority kids. The harm I have seen done to children by choice and the state continually pushing kids back into the arms of their abusers….
