[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3249272, member: 10465"] I seriously doubt that many doctors are really that easily influenced by some salesman in a cheap suit waggin' a free meal at Denny's in front of their face. Personally I think it is most often the individual patient at fault here. If I am prescribed ([U]Name of Drug) [/U]to be taken 1 pill; 3 X per day, and I crush up 15 of them and snort them up my nose and die, it's my fault the way I see it. Some of the doctors on here may respond, but don't you think they are smarter than to blatantly over prescribe opioids to people? Oh there are bad apples, sure, but let's talk in broader terms here. I have been taking opioids for years, and every time I get a prescription, I'm cautioned, and then there is my pharmacist, who is also in the link, double checking for interactions and things. But when I leave that counter with that pill bottle full of say...90 count of 30 mg Morphine tablets, it's up to me to take them as prescribed. If I gulp the whole thing down, and just stop breathing, how is that any one's responsibility but mine? Isn't that why it's called dope? Edited: I also agree with the above, it's no secret to anyone that opioids are dangerous. It's just not. [/QUOTE]
