Illegal drugs or prescription drugs: Which is the bigger menace to the US of A?

[Gramps]

Same thing happened to me a few years ago. I paid that dental bill (and then some) by selling that scrip to classmates.

My doctor was acting like a pusher. Wouldn't take no for an answer.

The doctor wasn't the only one acting like a pusher.

Yeah, you can compare me selling 25 oxys to pillhead students over 2 days to a doctor writing 10 scrips a day for pulling a tooth.

Your condescension fails.

Obviously you are a victim.

Cool it there, hot fuzz. I never claimed to be the victim.

The point of my earlier post wasn't hard to see.

The doctor legally wrote you the script.
You were the one who decided to make some money off the 25 oxys.
25 or 2,500 oxys, it's still selling pills.

Do you think the patient has more accountability?

Tuition: had to pay it. I'm not saying what I did was ethical, but I'm not giving children ritalin or putting housewives on zoloft.

Again, you and OE are both deterring from the thread with this inane, ethical crap. The argument here is whether or not pills are a bigger social problem than illegal drugs.

Seriously, this is a retarded road to go down.

Hardly. I just think your input sucks.

Epic

Great........thanks

It depends on just how much the patient knows about the drug they're taking.

When the doctor writes the scrip, the information he gives you rarely goes beyond "don't drive after taking this. It'll make you pretty dizzy."

I doubt you'd hear, "this pill will make you feel like Hendrix did when he set his guitar on fire at the Monterey Pop Festival."

 

[OrangeEmpire]

Heck, that makes it all better.

Theres typically a pretty big lack of information on the part of the patient, and it can affect the physicians bottom line as to whether that prescription gets written or not.

imo it would be better if physicians had a natural incentive to recommend what they think is the best course of action rather than scratch out as many rx pads as possible

 

[DinkinFlicka]

Because I said it made it better, didn't I?

You've the density of an ingot on this subject. The point was that the uninformed patient remains such after getting prescribed a narcotic.

Do you dare recommend that doctors attempt to do their actual job instead of narcotizing any patient they can?

You keep saying this as though a response means I'm irked. Just because I think you're acting like a moron in no way means I'm flustered.

I have a 13 year-old nephew. I know how this works.

Dr Drew was on Bill Maher the other night, and they both made a good point that if you look at most of the old rockers that just stuck to street drugs, like Keith Richards, Motley Crue, they tend to still be alive. The ones who got mixed up with pharmaceuticals so far have kicked the bucket with a quickness. Michael, Ann Nicole Smith, Whitney, etc.

You watch bill maher!?

 

[volfan2024]

Both are abused. One problem with presciption pills is the abusers make it harder for the non abusers to get. I know a crackhead who cannot break that habit. He lost his job,family, aging fast, a shame.

 

[n_huffhines]

Was OE just bested?

Dude's funny.

I disagree. He makes good points, and he's occasionally funny, but I think he is way too occupied with his world view to entertain contradictory ideas, and his arrogance drives me crazy. My wife doesn't even care about politics, and she can't stand watching him for the way he comes off.
