[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I met with a surgeon today for a consult for significant and urgent surgery. There were a number of things I was unimpressed with but one was that they only give Tylenol. I feel like they would probably give more if a patient was in REALLY bad shape but her take was “some discomfort is normal after major surgery but it should be manageable with Tylenol.” That’s jacked up. We invented medication so that you don’t have to feel pain. Give a patient 3-5 days of pain meds. I’m meeting with other surgeons because this one seems heartless.[/quote]

You’re unreasonable. A few days of pain is worth not getting hooked on opioids. Our society is so weak and fragile. Earlier generations would laugh at how soft we’ve gotten.[/quote]

If a few days on pain meds makes you an addict, you are the weak one, not us normal people with self-control.  [/quote]

Ah, yes. Such "self-control" you're demonstrating, ripping on a stranger online. Sure, Jan.[/quote]
