And chronic pain patients are even drug tested before we can get our medications! What a crock!!!
Which is quite frankly in my opinion Discrimination against a type of illness : disease induced pain... The Insufferable Movement on Facebook
Yeah. And now in virus pandemic. Fing community care of wv.1 woman Dr in particular. Demands patients to leave homes travel to clinic to possible exposure areas.,to piss in a cup. Or Dr threatens to stop writing med if u don't go. Why can't a mouth swab test .be done by telehealth . it's all about money and power.fing sad.wv medical system sucks.they neglect to care for people. A dr that cares wouldn't want people to get exposed. I think they make money for every covid case. They act like they want us all to catch this virus.I live in a pathetic state of poor medical care and government officials do nothing. All sad as F___
I’m actually more inspired to hear about professionals talk about stress and addiction I want to say Thankyou I see this as strength
this goes on more than some hospitals would care to acknowledge
i know of 2 doctors and 5 nurses addicted to drugs and we put our lives on the line depending on them why aeren't they tested the same as us chronic pain people are tested for drugs on the job shame on you suck,
I was prescribed Percocet after surgery many years and I just took one pill, few moments later my friend showed up and seen the pill bottle and told me how dangerous and addictive that medication was and it was good enough for me to throw it down the toilet. I’m a coward when is about addictions.
Good for you I guess.
Not cowardly. You are Smart.
Throwing them in the toilet is not eco-friendly. I think there are laws where I live that require patients to drop old medications off at a pharmacy, so they can be disposed of in accordance with regulations.
As a (male) R.N. on a cardiac telemetry floor and working in ICU as well, I witnessed all kinds of stuff "going down". The ol' "switcheroo"(swapping a saline filled syringe for one filled with usually opioids in a saline suspension) was popular. They look identical to the naked eye. I always thought this sort of thing - especially AT WORK - was foolish on their part. Why not hide the real ones in your knapsack and take it AT HOME where your work isn't scrutinized or you're not tested?
Maybe they were sick at work and needed it right then 🤷♂️
People who've been using opiates for 5,000 years as far back as the Egyptians it's never going to end
approximately 25 to 30 % of all physicianas have an addiction, mostley Alcohol.
Where did you read this? In the book "The Flight From Intimacy" by Janae & Barry Weinhold, PhDs, they write that 96-98% of the population has an addiction. However, their definition of addiction also includes things like gambling addiction, tobacco addiction, sports addiction, religion addiction, etc.
Why is no one talking about pharmacists? I have an issue with my pharmacy, and mine and my daughters pain meds being shorted. Every time i call them on it. they tell me the log shows there is nothing missing.The inventory adds up. I have no idea how to prove this is going on.
By the way this is in Ontario Canada.
have someone else come in with you. Open the meds in front of them and count them right then and there at the counter. Or ask to have them counted in front of you, if they decline file a report. www.ocpinfo.com/protecting-the-public/complaints-reports/file-complaint/
Oh and have the person who is accompanying you film the entire encounter.
Cat G when you pick up the prescription, ask to count the pills in front of the pharmacist
Count the tablets in the pharmacy as soon as you get them
My sister got away with stealing 250 tablets of the narcotic Tylenol # 3 from my mother.
I was employed as a male nurse(R.N.) on a telemetry(heart monitoring) floor, ICU(intensive care unit) and a LTAC(long term acute care) facility for many years. I've had HUNDREDS of opportunities to divert all kinds of narcotics and know of a few nurses that have been caught. At least in the cases I've seen, most have been given a second chance, providing they follow the guidelines set down for them.
The AMA says there are currently 1.1 million Doctors in the U.S. if 100,000 are addicted that's a shockingly high rate.
Ok so they commit a crime. They give stealing a new name so it doesnt look as bad then they give them at no cost to their own pocket im sure help. But my kids dad whos got 25 years didn't deserve a chance. The people who dont work at the pharmacy or hospitals that divert pills to to prison. If your well off tho they just make excuses for em. And let em go.
This explains so much.
I knew a former nurse that did this. She also shot up her boyfriend (my dear friend of 20 years) with heated up oxy - because his back hurt - and it killed him. Before she killed my friend, she used to giggle about her firing and said "Oh, little ole me... I was a naughty nurse..."
Wow, how do they even start taking it?
They'll let these people go to rehab then go right back to work in a hospital,once their caught they should never be allowed to work in a medical setting ever again
Addiction is not a disease. Cancer is a disease, diabetes is a disease, congestive heart disease is a disease, gastroparesis which i suffer from is a disease. MENTAL ILLNESS/DISEASES But choosing to snort or inject a drug claiming you didn't know what was gonna happen is complete bullshit. When I snorted that first pill with my ex Randy Willy and lea Sullivan I was well aware of what I was doing and what could happen i became hooked and used for almost 3 years before i met my husband who was also an addict we got clean with in Maybe a month of meeting each other. We helped and encouraged each other to stay clean 10 years later we are both clean and sober he works full time making a little over a 1000$s every 2 weeks BUT I MADE THAT CHOICE AS AN ADULT I didn't have a DISEASE I HAD AN ADDICTION PROBLEM.

This highly pisses me off ear doctors and nurses are attics but chronic pain patients are under managed and they wont do anything about it because nobody wants to ride on a 250,000 to 4 and $1,000 a year salary as a lot to do with it those big salaries are not going to that's exactly why some of the reason why they won't do it cuz that would mean loss of license but how I Doctor Who is trying to help chronic pain patients has to worry about losing his license this is not make any sense to me I'm sorry but it doesn't
It's often that painkiller, going to far ?
Well finally
Sick and scary '. God bless america
lol i just helped a cokehead surgeon move prior to watching this... synchronicity
Angels,,,,,. Watch over you,♥️😭
damn healthcare workers or to know better
OP8 narcotics?
Bret Harley its opiate he just has a southern accent lol
I'm taking Methadone for DDD. I've been thru a rehab (30day), was clean, but because my pain was uncontrolled, got back on the meds. Life just isn't the same after you get clean (being Realistic), happiness seems to come at a steep price. You must surrender completely to the Lord Jesus to have a chance, and that's the Truth!
If you have a legitimate disease induced pain I need medication there's nothing to be ashamed of, nor is physical dependence the same as addiction. No one would or should shame a diabetic for needing insulin? Heart patients nitrogen? Someone with depression needing antidepressants? The biggest issue is our society stigmatization and discrimination against pain induced disease of the disabled, we didn't ask to be sick your dependent on medication that helps us have a quality of life, we are here for you if you need us The Insufferable Movement on Facebook
@@LDuke-pc7kq ---> You are so right! The people who are suffering from legit pain conditions (ie: me) often just get lumped in with the ones that are using just because they can't cope with life or just to get high. I got the double 'whammy', DDD + Bipolar type 1 and I can tell you that my mind has this power over me, it causes me angst and anxiety. It multiplies my pain and I just can't stand it! My psych has me on Buspar to simmer the dam thing down, so I have a pain manager and a psych, most likely for the rest of my life which is a real downer
😂😂😂
Jesus didn't do shit for me, I did it on my own
Subutex works it works
Subutex is stiĺl an opiod only less addictive than alot of them because of the naloxone, just replacing one habit for another
@@lts-Benji it’s suboxone that has the narcan subutex can be and is abused. For an 8mg subutex in prison they cost £200 because you can crush and snort them and get high.
