[QUOTE="Grendelshooter, post: 3264953, member: 44870"] Not what I intended brah. I won’t try to guilt anyone out of their position. You’re not wrong. We are in the end responsible for our own well being. We have to do the best we can. My mother was one of the first people prescribed this drug. The doctors and creators marketed this as a non-addictive alternative to other opiates that would give long lasting pain relief via time delayed release. Now we know that the reason it had such a long period of effect was that it contained something like 80% more opioids than other contemporary drugs of the same type. By 2009 everyone knew, but in 1996? Her doctor did everything he could to assuage her fears of addiction. She even told him addiction ran in our family. Don’t worry ma’am this new wonder drug is non-addictive! By the time she died she had had several back surgeries that just exacerbated her original injury so they just kept upping her dosage. And so at 51 she had a brain aneurism and died. My stance is that you can’t blame a person who is told their whole lives to trust their doctor and their government, for trusting their doctor and their government. She just wanted the pain to stop so she could work. [/QUOTE]
