For this discussion define elderly as anyone beyond 70 or so.

Do you know any elderly people who aren’t taking some type of drug?

They get really addicted in the end when doctors just morphine them to death.

At my last job, the patients we saw from nursing homes were all on tons of meds- and not just standing orders for PRN use... opiods, SSRIs, HCTZ and a stool softener was almost assumed to be on the med list. I think they're just prescribed to shut the poor old people up.

Sheryl: [to Frank] He started snorting heroin.
Frank: [to Grandpa] You started snorting heroin?
Grandpa: [in response to Frank] I'm old! [To Dwayne] And don't you start taking that shite. When you're young, you're crazy to do that stuff.
Frank: [to Grandpa] Well what about you? Grandpa: [to Frank] What about me? I'm old! When you're old you're crazy not to do it.

Doctors have elderly on so many pills, that it's laughable

Many years ago, my first job was at a walgreens type place for the summer. The elderly had so many pills and paid so much f'in money.

$500 here, $450 there, just for their 2 pills, a piece.

My 70 yr. Old mother loves her morphine pills. She gets one a day given by my sister because my mom isn't allowed to have the bottle. She's been addicted for 13 years now.
