When you're in pain, if a drug does not kill you, you just figure it's OK to take it, and the last thing you do, is question your doc's judgement, even if the drug is to be taken by mouth...
Docs usually will ask you how much pain you're having, and *should* use the least amount of medication to control pain. This isn't about questioning judgment at all. Pain control is usually dependent on what a patient says he/she needs. If it were a raging wound infection, then I'd agree with you, but what we're talking about is pain. It's subjective. If a person's taking pain medicine by mouth, then he's obviously not in a coma. Bozo didn't like OxyContin and he didn't keep taking it--because he did not like it's effects (if I'm understanding you right bozo). Patients discuss their need for more/less pain medicine with their doctors all the time. I'm wondering what's different in this situation.

I'm glad you were able to break your addiction and that your life is returning to your normal. You seem to have a lot of motivation.
But... you should have some level of personal responsibility in this issue. Displacing the blame to the "Fucking Doctors" who were just trying to care for you and make you comfortable after your accident is a bit off. Yes... meds do have side effects. That's why A.T. Still broke away from the Allopathic (MD) philosophy and started Osteopathic Medicine. But meds do have their uses (pain sucks and forcing a patient to be in pain for any reason besides his/her direct refusal of medicaion is WRONG). Everything comes with risks and consequences. Everything. You took the risk prior to the accident. And with time, the anger over the consequences will, hopefully, go away. Good luck with that.

Exactly right Doc. Oxy is the most powerful controlling stuff they ever gave me. I cant even imagine being addicted to that stuff.
The pain was gone but so was bozo.

Pain is fleeting. Glory lasts forever. Chicks dig scars.
I just helped nurse someone back to health from a pretty nice herion addiction. Cold turkey.
