>1million doses of Oxy. Gonna be more Hey-Ron addicts now

quote:

Crazy, I was told by a poster here who claimed to be a doctor that the medical community was blameless in this crisis

---

As a physician I will say the actions of a greedy individual do not reflect the teachings of the physician community. And by "medical community" of you include Big Pharma and their actions and influence, then yes the medical community is to blame.

In the 1990's the FDA was telling physicians all over the country these medications, particularly oxycodone and OxyContin were not dangerous and should be prescribed for minor aches and pains. Then over the last 10 years they've reversed those statements. Doctors prescribe what Rx they have available and trust the research to be valid and honest.

That's pretty much what I said in the last big thread about this. I blame the companies like Purdue way above all. they should all be in prison. Straight up Pill mill doctors like this are a minority. Most doctors were misled by a deliberate misinformation campaign from said companies, as you indicated.

But the hack I argued with last time (I'm sure he'll make an appearance ) tried to claim the big companies never did anything wrong or that there were never any lawsuits and then deflected when I linked to several big suits. It was usual OT simple mindedness where a complex problem was reduced to junkies who woke up one day and decided they wanted to be heroin addicts.

I do Herron one a week it's lit

I was just coming on to post exactly what some of the others have said. If anyone is to blame, it's the pharmaceutical companies. In the 70-80's they brainwashed doctors into believing there was nothing wrong with "a little pain medicine" and "it's not addictive" and "this is how you help your patients." Doctors believed it (remember, back then there was no reason not to trust big pharmaceutical companies like we now know, that's only been the past several years everyone has realized what's been going on) and then passed this on to the patients. If you went through med school or trained in that era, that's just the way it was. Doctors are not to blame for any of this.
Now saying that, TODAY doctors all NOW know the truth, and if they are still handing out candy for their own benefit, they deserve what eventually comes from it.

I've personally never seen it IRL. Does anyone here use it? Former user? Friend family or loved one use/former user?

I did criminal defense work, and I noticed an uptick in heroin users over time. Lots of addicts.

We never filled for that fricking doctor. Every time I saw that blue prescription it was a automatic Do Not Have

Pain management clinics" are legalized drug dealers. They're dishing out methadone and suboxone like it's candy. We have offices popping up all over Alabama with lines of people waiting on their meds.

Weren't pill mills dispensing pain pills all shut down in Alabama? I heard it was hard to get any pain meds there now. I suppose it's not yet as strict for methadone and suboxone?
