I'm only thinking about this bc I just had surgery and I'm on oxy for the first time in 17 years, but, like...
Doctors really claim, like as a profession, that they just didn't know fucking opium was highly addictive and oopsie woopsie did a little fucky wucky and now like a million people are dead?
Cause I really never thought about that, but I took 1 "take 2 every four hours" pill SEVEN FUCKING HOURS AGO and I am still tripping balls and in my current altered state their cutesy little "We just forgot morphine was dangerous" shtick sounds pretty fucking ridiculous.
Oh and the DEA and FDA must have been in on this, too, right? The whole time? Because no one would actually be stupid enough to believe this shit, right?
I sincerely do not believe doctors should be allowed around patients unless a patient's rights advocate who has no financial incentives in common with the doctor is present.
I never see doctors alone. Always go with my parents or significant other, or even both if it's a major, major appointment.
If it's something very private the close family I go with will leave the room for a bit.
Is it childish? I guess so, but when I go to the doctors, the news is never good lol. I need backup!
I can see the point, but this would be a bureaucratic nightmare. It would probably also make it tougher for some people to speak candidly about their health issues.
It would be better to remove the profit motive from healthcare and train enough doctors that replacing one for misconduct isn't a monumental task.
