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 once broke my pinky and cracked a tooth, after 5 hours waiting in the ER to get checked out, I was really annoyed due to the whole missing half of a couple teeth thing. Never expressed pain, doctors asked if I was in pain, told them just a little. Gave me an oxy without me asking, I told them I needed to drive my ass back after and they told me I already paid for the oxy and I'd be fine to drive home.
Got insanely lucky though, a dentist was on staff at the er at 11pm on a friday, and was able to put some temporary caps on my teeth. Props to that dentist for enabling me to eat that weekend.
