Some people just like to get high and some think it is cool. I am sure
you know several people who have had a procedure or an injury of some
type and raved about the great pain medication.  There are a lot of
reports about addicts who started down the road to addiction with
prescription pain medication, as if it is the fault of the doctors and
the drug companies. The part they skip is that it was usually someone
else's prescription.

Doctors that freely prescribe pain killers are much beloved around here.
My wife's co-workers love one doctor in particular. One of my wife's
friends had her gut stop working because of all the prescription opioids
she was taking. It's a horrible thing to have your guts just stop
moving. My wife doesn't love that doctor - she blames her for her
friend's death. Perhaps one day, that doctor will get what's coming to
her - or perhaps not.
