I mean, Pain Killers are nothing new and the need for them also isn't new. It is largely that the manufactures knew the likelihood of dependence forming from using the products and failed (on purpose) to mention all of the dangers.
If you go to the E.R. with a broken bone how likely are you to worry about what the paper you just signed actually says? I think that I would be more focused on trying to alleviate the pain. (no chance for informed consent) They do not tell the patients that coming off the pain killer is worse than the pain they are currently experiencing. So they have you sign away your rights before even getting treatment, knowing the possible dangers of the treatment and the high likelihood of dependence on the treatment. Like heroin users are not addicted to the heroin, they are addicted to not going through the withdrawals of not using heroin after they have already used it. The heroin dealers have a one up on the manufactures as they haven't had their users sign a document that would later incriminate the living hell out of them. Instead, these manufactures tweak the heroin just enough to call it something else then make patients sign documents that say that the patients cannot go after the manufactures if anything bad should happen using their product. Had they not known of the potential side effects they might have a pass however they knowingly inserted a highly addictive substance into the market with the desire to make money. Profits over people. Worse still is they managed it into the realm of vested authority, people that no one would have any reason to be suspicious of, your family doctor, and got them to push it without disclosing all of the side effects that they already knew about.. They are Fucked, my dude. Bad.
You don't go into withdrawals from pain meds just from something like a broken bone. I suffered third degree burns on 4 fingers on my hand. I was on morphine and hydromorphone for the week I was in the hospital because of the third degree burns. Those pain meds were definitely needed, and I didn't go through withdrawals. The pain would definitely be worse than taking the pain meds in that and many other cases. Typically the physical dependence on opioids is a worry in more long-term patients, like those in general chronic pain who sometimes have to keep upping the dosages in order to continue to be effective. In those cases the doctor may lower the doses and make the patient go through some pain so that lower dosages are effective again. As someone in chronic pain, pain meds make a huge difference in my quality of life. Sure, there those that abuse the system or do become physically addicted, but until people have to live with chronic pain, they don't understand what a huge drain being in constant pain is and how much quality of life suffers for them.
I am not in anyway knocking those that require assistance in pain management. I know far too many people that have to be wholly against them. The manufactures purposefully hid information to get their product on the market, we just saw it happen again with the Jab. Neither of us are wrong here. I do also agree that there are people that abuse the system but with my own eyes I have witnessed the system abuse people. My point being, until those responsible are held accountable it creates an arena to disregard pertinent information for the sake of making money. Alternatives also exist. So like, George Floyd ODed, his fault for abusing fentanyl. The manufactures of fentanyl are also to blame for not disclosing its dangers and for pushing its use to make money. The drugs are not the problem, how they are, in some arenas, pushed onto the consumer is.
Why is it way ahead of whatever is in second place. Why do Doctors prescribe the drugs that they do? Kickbacks! It takes one Busty Blonde to convince an entire towns worth of doctors to use this pill instead of that one, with those fun little note pads and pens as a small gift that are used to further promote the drug in question. Perhaps they offer the Office a discount in the form of reimbursement. $0.05 per pill adds up, but when you can get insurance to pay higher than what the drug costs you can make some phat bucks. Everyone else is doing it so it cannot be that bad, right?
I was on yer side til ya started blaming it on Busty Blonds! I've been hood winked by Busty Blonds more times than I deserve, but have to admit I've been taken by quite a few petite brunets as well. Pick yer side!
