[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was about to have a minor medical procedure and discovered that they were going to use Fentanyl to "put me under." By coincidence, the newspaper that morning had a front page article (above the fold) about overdoses in the DMV. When I raised this issue with the anesthesiologist, I got a nasty earful about how I was not to question the doctor's expertise. Thanks, Doc.  [/quote]

You should reconsider your response. While the anesthesiologist could have been more patient, it’s pretty obvious that a trained professional using a controlled medication in the manner it was designed is substantially different from a random person buying it from a drug dealing using it at home and overdosing and dying. These are not remotely comparable. [/quote]

This. It's always ok to ask questions about your treatment, and the doctor should not have been rude. But if you really thought the doctor would allow you to overdose on the operating table, why were you even there? At some point you have to let people do the jobs they are trained to do.[/quote]
Which doctor is trained to help make us healthy again?[/quote]

If you believe that, then don't go to the doctor. Problem solved. [/quote]
