[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wanting narcotics before the surgery even happens and there is pain, and shopping around to find someone who freely gives them out is a pretty big red flag. A lot of docs now only use them in a very controlled way for people whose pain isn’t managed in other ways. They don’t just send people home with bottles of narcotics anymore for just in case reasons. [/quote]

No this is not a red flag at all. Not wanting to endure pain because one doctor thinks it’s fine for you to suffer when there is a different doctor that will make recovery bearable is not drug shopping.[/quote]

You didn’t read the post. More doctors will prescribe additional pain medications. If some continues to experience pain beyond what otc meds can handle. But they don’t just send every patient home with bottles of narcotics benzos just in case they have pain or anxiety. It is shopping around as OP doesn’t even have any pain yet and that pain may be well managed with otc. Just because the current culture is to pop pills for everything and feel nothing mentally or physically doesn’t mean that approach is supported by the medical field. It has led to massive amounts of lives ruined in the past and just isn’t modern medicine. The approach now is to treat the patient and their individual needs, not to hand out bottles of narcotics and benzos to anyone who wants them just in case they have pain that isn’t managed with otc.[/quote]

Why won’t OP say what the procedure is? I’m team doctor even with the biased reporting from OP. [/quote]
