White, UMC, mid-30's, and married, by the way. It wasn't like the OB was judging. He had just set himself up as some a8shole warrior in the war on drugs.
Which physician did that? Liar.
Huh? Doesn't sound at all implausible.
Ugh, this. The war on addiction has made it impossible for people with real pain to get any help. Same thing - had a c section and was not given anything. Broke my foot last year, and the ER said that they couldn't prescribe anything unless I was getting surgery. Since it was "just" a cast, just ibuprofen.

Have you heard about the Sackler Opioid Connection?

This article is blaming the opioid epidemic entirely upon the Sacklers. Sure, the drug company was aggressive in marketing (which is a separate issue in itself). But the idea that opioids aren't addictive when you're in pain, when you have no prior history of drug addiction, etc., that is the mistake I was referring to. A couple erroneous sentences in a couple medical journals, cited thousands of times.

Is it equally addictive across ethnic lines?
Does China have an opioid problem? What about the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, India?
Don't those places have secured borders? Yes, they do. Only Americans have allowed Mexicans to flood our streets with illegal drugs. And we also have allowed the Sackler Empire to destroy more American lives than anyone else.
No opioid problem in China. The slave labor is an essential component of the government's wealth.

Ironically, Sackler wants to atone for getting millions addicted to opiods, by seeking further profits from getting them addicted to another, albeit milder, opioid, buprenorphine. Wait to hear drug sales people telling doctors that addicts may need to be on buprenorphine for years, even life. A virtual drug annuity.
Buprenorphine is widely available on the street and people can become addicted to it without ever having had heavier duty opioids. Also a prized score in prisons.
