Many cancer pts. end up opioid addicts too. One of the saddest experiences I ever saw was a typical suburban housewife brought into ER by kids and husband. She was begging morphine, literally begging. She was stage 4 cancer and her pain management had her more hooked and strung out than any street junkie that I ever saw in that ER over 10 years.

Had a headcase professor in a pre med course that classified all people dependent on any drug/chemical for life as drug addicts. Everyone from high BP to Diabetics to schizoids to hormone replacement types. All were addicts to him the same as junkies and alchy's.

So why stop at junkies and addicts of only the illegal drugs? Make all drug dependencies fall under the heading "let nature run it's course". That'll surely lower insurance costs for the rest of us!
