I had a doctor tell me I had "unexplained back pain" and wrote me script for 100 Percocet. Took one, didn't like the fog it put me in and just stuck to aspirin and tylenol. Cleared up in a week or so. Did he really think I needed enough pills for a month?

They absolutely used to hand that shit out like candy.

Not only are they turning patients into dope fiends by overprescribing, they're encouraging people to lie about pain in order to get a monthly bottle of meds they can sell for $400 to dope fiends.

It's fucked at every level. Outside of extreme circumstances (broken bones, surgeries, etc) I'll never touch anything I can't buy over the counter for the rest of my life. Hell, I won't even smoke weed anymore.

Beer and ibuprofen is all I need.

This. The real thing is not the lie itself, but the wink and nod. As long as this is the way of the world, this will be, the way of the world.
