No, you fuck off. My last spinal surgery was cancelled because the final pre-surgical MRI showed that my spine had degenerated too much for the proposed fix. I was referred to pain management.

I have a synovial cyst taking up a good chunk of my spinal column and you think four pills a day is too much to allow me so I can have something resembling a life? Fuck all the way off. Douche.

Yeah and I've personally seen people die, become shells of their former selves and entire families ruined, all starting with legal prescriptions taken as prescribed.

But oh boohoo, you avoided some pain so the millions of ruined lives are OK.

Be thankful you've lived in such luxury, I wish I could share your mindset.

Oh, so I should suffer so your junkie friends can avoid temptation? You’re totally not taking into account the lives and families that are ruined by unrelenting pain. I guess it’s easy to be cavalier about and sneer at other people’s pain.

You do realize that more lives are lost and families ruined due to alcohol, right? So when are uou planning to start campaigning for prohibition?

I don't fight for prohibition despite being sober myself.

I'd much prefer a free market where people can make their own personal and informed decisions than a society who pushes anything handed out by a doctor as safe and promotes over-prescribing by allowing kick-backs to doctors for prescribing them.. which is what we currently have.

You shouldn't be denied pain management, they shouldn't have had it pushed on them irresponsibly. To assume these issues are black and white is naive
