She should have just insisted on being put in a rehab program immediately after surgery, it was stupid as hell to have a surgery without pain medication call, it makes it so much easier for the doctors to make a mistake..
You can be sedated without narcotics. You can be given something to absolutely make you not remember the pain of the experience without narcotics. An anesthesiologist has many options other than narcotics. But, this is television.
Well she opted to stay awake during the procedure. While they hammered into her bones they put something on her top teeth so that she didn't bite off her tongue@@NPRYRS
It’s about chasing that high. It doesn’t matter what drugs or combination of drugs is used. (She may fear that anything could send her back so nothing is her choice) My niece is a recovering addict and she is firm with doctors about meds. (And she’s prone to kidney stones.) She is so strong. I’m proud of her!!
Who ever she is acting for in this story line? That woman is amazing! May God bless those who are always fighting the fight of addiction. This addiction epidemic is on the heads of pharmaceutical companies, the American government, and the medical industry.
@traceefarmer3850 He is referring to those individuals who have had sports injuries, on the job injuries, tragic accidents, or ridden with pain from disease. These people are prescribed opioids for pain unaware of their own personal proclivity to addiction. They are in fact victims of the pharmaceutical companies and the come from all walks of life. Rich to poor, young to old. Some I've known personally. It's a terrible tragedy.
@@newbie4789 OP's comment in my understanding is referring to those who get addicted from first being prescribed these medications. Once they become addicted, the drugs are taken away but the problem still remains. Therefore, these individuals turn to illegal means to get the drugs instead. Pharmaceutical companies are not held accountable for providing treatment.
@newbie4789 My comment got deleted somehow 🤷♀️. Anyways, I was saying that there are people who take meds for pain and get addicted. When doctors realize the patient is addicted they are taken off the meds, but no therapy is given. I think that big pharma should be held accountable, just like OP suggested.
Please, doctors, nurses, and chefs and lash techs are the world's biggest 304s, she definitely don't want to mess her oyster up having kids, think she won't abort? Think again 😬
I’m a recovering alcoholic/addict and while it’s true that one dose or prescription can set off the cycle again, honesty and having a support system around you who knows who you are and what you’ve been through are absolutely key. I have 29 years sober and I have had multiple situations where narcotics were necessary. Especially when you’ll be doing physical therapy it’s imperative that the pain doesn’t stop you from regaining movement, strength etc… people are allowed to choose their own route, so I respect those with a different perspective.
I have the same issue. Been clean from alcohol for 8 years. I was raised with a pillhead grandfather and took pills like PEZ. I watched him OD when I was 8. I hated all pills way into adult hood. I always was afraid I would resort to pills if I ever stopped drinking. I even gave birth four times and refused all pain pills. when I had my hysterectomy, my husband watched me in so much pain from that surgery and eventually he asked me to let him get the pain meds. He said he will hid it and not tell me where it is. Even my kids talked me down and I took the pills for two days and then stopped. I never thought I would get over my fear of pills. I am glad I let my family help. Now I am having a bariatric surgery in a month and I have no fear of going back down that road with the pills! I am super proud of me and my family!
@@sarahleroy465I can't imagine having a hysterectomy and not having pain meds. I had a c-section and my morphine pump was my best friend for about 18 hours until they took it away
@@sarahleroy465 - I get that. Trust me. But a doctor properly administrating it at the appropriate time is a far cry from using recreationally. It’s not the same thing as a relapse. It definitely doesn’t mean your recovery or sobriety failed
Well i gave birth to 2 children without any medicine for pain But i remember coming this close to asking for epidural but i kept saying to myself 'just one more hour, I'll save myself from lifetime of backache' n i survived the pain Never had a broken bone so can't compare the pains but migraine is next on the list to me
I had my ankle shattered and that was comparable in the instant, but childbirth was so much worse because it’s that crippling pain over and over for hours and hours, not just one instance and then adrenaline kicks in. And people give you the respect of being allowed to be in pain with a broken leg. Giving birth the nurses almost acted like I was making up how painful it was.
I remember telling all my doctors "no matter what I say, no matter how bad an injury or pain ever is... do not EVER give me opiates please. It only takes ONE time for me to undo everything I've worked so hard to overcome. I don't care if I break a bone.. don't give me painkillers please" after that I had surgery twice and recovered with zero pain meds and it was fkn brutal but I'm glad I did it.
This isn't the best approach. There are less-addictive pain killers and the chance of getting addicted to them when taking them properly is basically zero. Not all pain killers are opiods, most aren't actually. Some pain killers aren't even directly combating the pain, but reduce inflammation in your tissues, which indirectly reduces pain While i commend your mental strength, some pain can leave behind permanent damage. Always be open with your doctor about your concerns and issues and try finding a way of healing that suits you best.
I am not qualified to give medical advice, so I only speak for myself. Though there are less addictive painkillers I avoid them. Also, when I die I want to be completely lucid not drugged, no matter what I might experience- even excruciating pain. My choice.
I have the same concerns with opioids as prescribed pain meds. I was prescribed percs for a cardiac ablation to handle the pain of the catheter sites, decided against taking them and took over the counter pain meds and dealt with what pain was left. I was on a fentanyl drip while in hospice during and after the surgery and hated the woozy feeling, but I could see how it is so addictive. I didn’t want to even take a chance so I never took one while I was recovering.
Avoiding pain killers for simple pain is actually a great thing. Pain killers are , at the end of the day, drugs into your body. If you don't want it, you should avoid it. But if you are in too much pain, just take it. Addiction is mental
A surgery is completely different, just insist on not being released from the hospital until you are off of hard pain killers.. or look up post surgery rehabilitation places
Although it's TV, it's still very much a real thing or "feeling." I had a very bad accident on my 30th birthday (I'm now 47) and couldn't walk for a year. A little over that year, I was able to walk on crutches for 9 months and now I walk with a limp and are permanently disabled. I became addicted to my pain meds, and a few years after BEING ADDICTED, I began to ABUSE THEM. I've been clean for almost 9 years and I, too, do not take narcotics for anything. Even though I still hurt pretty often, I don't take opioids anymore. I just deal with it & I honestly don't know how. Long story short, back in May I had a small sore on the same ankle that I injured years ago, and the sore became infected. Well, I ended up having surgery & the doctor had to "clean out" that infection. I have a wound vac to help the healing process go faster but I do not have any narcotics or pain meds. I actually told the doctors that I'm an opioid addict so that they wouldn't give me any during my 4 day stay at the hospital and so they wouldn't prescribed any for me when I discharged. I'm serious about my sobriety & didn't/don't want ANYTHING to set me back. Thank you to whomever will take a lil time to read my comment.
You are a very strong person,and you should be proud of yourself,keep up the good work you are an inspiration for a lots of people. Continue to take good care of yourself. Congratulations. Thank you for sharing your story with us.❤
@elsiemartin9302 😏Awwww, thank you for these kind words🤗. I take it one day at a time, and I'm actually really BLESSED to be back to "normal." I don't even have the desire to do ANYTHING, which includes pills, drinking, and smoking weed. All of which are the things I grew up doing on a regular basis, minus the pills. I didn't start taking the pills until I had the accident. But I stopped drinking & smoking BEFORE I became addicted to narcotics. And what people don't know is, the majority of people who take narcotics on a daily basis are addicted, but being addicted is a difference from ABUSING THEM. For example, if 2 people are taking narcotics on a daily basis, and 1 is abusing them, but the other 1 is taking them as prescribed & as directed, if we both tried to abruptly stop taking them, or if we both run out of them & can't get anymore for a few days, WE'RE BOTH ARE GONNA SUFFER FROM WITHDRAWALS.
Why hide that from her husband? I mean i get its probably something she is embarrassed by and wants to keep it in the past but she has been clean for 10 years straight i feel like telling her husband the man she loves about her former problem wouldn’t be a issue
It seems like that was something from her life before they were married she's clean now, but when u tell someone something like that, no matter how much they love u, they will probably look at u differently and possibly change the entire dynamics of their relationship
@@emersonsantana3150 Those beliefs say otherwise about them being amazing. It would be like saying someone is amazing but thinks being a pedophile is great.
I saw a true story where the girl was a recovering addict and used needles. She went for blood work and the needle triggered her addiction so she over dosed on purpose. Such a horrible thing to be an addict. May God be with them all for recovery.
I am so proud of you for admitting that your an recovery addict,so am I and I relapse after being clean for 3 years, I had a hernia repair and they gave me Percocets and once that monkey was woke up I went head first.....That was the biggest mistake of my life ......I am now clean ....Spence 12/07/2021 and I am gonna save my life at all cost...I don't care who knows...I have it on my portfolio for all Doctors to be aware......once again I am proud of you...that stuff is taken people life by the dozens and if they not dead they walking dead.....I am now a Peer Recovery Coach... helping people find headlines for the strong hold of drugs ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I refuse pain killers too, not because I’m a addict though. Because I don’t want to be one. When I got my wisdom teeth pulled when I was 17, I refused all pain killers even over the counter ones. I went through 3 all natural child births. And last year I broke my foot and same thing. You’re supposed to feel pain, it’s how your body protects you from doing further damage.
💜 GOD BLESS YOU 😇🙏🏼 I'VE HAD 4 NATURAL BIRTH'S, MY 2 SON'S EACH WEIGHED 10 POUNDS! BUT NOW I HAVE FIBROMYALGIA, FULL OF ARTHRITIS (OSTEOARTHRITIS) CELIAC DISEASE, SOME TYPE OF SOFT TISSUE DISEASE (UNDIAGNOSED) I LIVE IN CONSTANT PAIN. I DO TAKE MEDS TO SURVIVE. HAVE TO HAVE ANOTHER HIP REPLACEMENT SURGERY, REALLY INVOLVED DUE TO BEING PUSHED BACK WITH COVID EPIDEMIC. ALSO NEED BOTH KNEES, LEFT SHOULDER REPLACED. ANOTHER NECK SURGERY BECAUSE THE OTHER ONE WASN'T DONE RIGHT A YEAR AGO. WISH I COULD GET A NEW BODY! BUT UNFORTUNATELY I AM STUCK WITH THE ONE THAT HAS FAILED ME. MY DAUGHTER HAS SAID MY MEDS WILL KILL ME. I SAY, THEY'RE THE ONLY REASON I WANT TO KEEP LIVING. I LIVE WITH CHRONIC PAIN, NOT SOMETHING I CHOSE. BUT I DO NOT ABUSE MY MEDS, JUST TAKE TO SURVIVE DAY TO DAY. STAY BLESSED 😇🙏🏼✝️💜💜💜
But you can also die from the pain too, too much pain could potentially kill you. That's why doctors recommend you take painkillers so they can relieve you from the pain and keep you alive. But I get it, couldn't be me because I can't do pain I throw up too easily but big ups to you for being a strong ass woman.
Over here we barely use drugs during labour. I was 8cm dilated when i got to the hospital, i just went into labour, my membrane was ruptured and in no time babh waa out. I respect this woman she a real hero.
I’m a recovering opioid addict and have had surgery several times in the past 11 years. Sometimes you need to take the medication so your body doesn’t go into shock and died. You have to be careful with brutally honest about your pain. Recovery is all about self improvement, healing and honesty.
Praying for you bro. I don’t know if you have kids, but if you do , think of them. If you don’t, think of yourself. You’re not at the end of your life, but the habit could stop your life tomorrow. One day you need to make a choice to either continue feeling the pain and taking vices to make it feel better , potentially die, or you need to give yourself forgiveness and grace and love. Everyone makes mistakes , everyone has a hard time, and some of us have had some very terrible life experiences. But right now, right here, you’re alive. and that means more than anything, because after this it’s an unknown world. There’s so many hobbies and interests you could chase, get high off the feeling of life. You may not remember that feeling because you’ve gotten high for a long time, but it’s still there, the drugs just don’t allow you to feel it. I love you man, heart to heart my dad left when I was four because of opiate addiction and he’s out there at 40 years old still running from his problems and his children, never feeling okay, always lying to cover up his feelings and his reality. I just want you to know that someone out here really really gives a fuck that you do better, even if my comment does nothing for you and you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just have to try. Because you mean something. You do. Love man.
It’s up to you baby you just gotta want it. We all face our demons and some of us handle them better than others. I’ve never touched anything other than weed because I don’t know if i have an addictive personality and I’m too scared to risk it. My brothers an alcoholic and so my relationship with alcohol isn’t the best. He was just diagnosed with a blood disease that will probably kill him within the next two years. He’s only 33. We’ve begged him for years to stop and now it’s too late and the one thing I realized is it didn’t matter what we did. It’s was all his choice. Only you can make that choice for yourself and want to do better. Choose to do better. Or choose to keep going and fighting the pain the easy way. But know there are people who love and believe in you. And way more out there you don’t even know yet that would and will all you have to do is reach out for the help.
I'm 4.5 years from any opioid I could get my hands on. You can do it. Reach out and get help. Suboxone is great, but there are many other options if you don't like that. You CAN do it.
This is the first I've heard about this situation since I thought about this same problem I have. My current most recent issue is wanting to have skin removal surgery after drastic weight loss, and that is exactly what I'm afraid of. Having surgery is how I got hooked again and I don't want to go backwards. I always provide that info so there is no interaction with other problems that may come up. ER visits I really stress "no take home script" and give my counselor notes of what I was given in ER.
I’ll have 10 years clean in September of this year and just because you’re an addict does not mean when something major like that happens like you break a leg or you need surgery that doesn’t mean that you cannot have pain medication just because we’re addicts does not mean we have to suffer as long as you stay connected with your doctor, your sponsor and take it as directed and only if it’s for a serious injury like this absolutely it’s OK
It doesn’t say much for her trust in him if she couldn’t even tell him that. If she was so afraid he’d leave her he wasn’t worthy of her to begin with.
I had a mental breakdown fresh in recovery and was like this, if your brain feels like it's on fire and you just went through something traumatic take the meds! Caused bipolar but God healed me of it. We are promised a sound mind thank the Lord. Not fun to fight your brain, I almost didn't make it through that. If you have to hand your script meds to a trusted family member to dose out and call your sponsor everyday.
For those who want to know, she went through surgery without anesthesia. She endure intense pain just so that she wouldn't go back being a addict. She came out ok and will recover.
ANY, and i mean ANY , counselor, sponser, doctor, therapist, etc that helps addicts will tell you, that as long as you follow doctors orders you're not messing up your sobriety. What she wanted and made doctors do, could of killed her. Pain really can mess up your heart and breathing. She could of been numbed up with out opiods. I feels so awful for her, even though its a show.
What I'm hearing is the doctors should do their job, and you should be open with your family so they can help you stay clean. Stop hiding everything with lies. As someone who almost died because of a fuckin Xanax addiction I can safely say she's her own problem. Doctors do what you have to everything else is on her
Broke my tibia and dislocated my foot..... drugs were my friend🤧🤒🤕😷 i was mad when the good prescipt ran out but all good till rain and used over the counter till not needed. But i can tell you when rain is coming to this day💯🤷🏽♀️🤷🏾 it's a faint ache and throb but no meds needed 🙆🏾🙆🏾♀️
An epidural could be used for the initial treatment and perhaps a very, very slow drip of the medication to combat the pain during the healing process. ???
Wow 😮 Can't even think of something reasonable to say. But the fact that refused to take pain killers to suppress her pain just to prevent her from going back to her drug addiction is fu*king BALLSY
I have an addictive personality and will refuse painkillers whenever possible. Im scared of turning into my drug addicted mom. When I had a C-section 7.5 months ago I refused pain meds while healing. Ill take over the counter pain meds when i can but thats it.
They did a root canal on me with nothing because I'm allergic to the Anastasia, novacane !! I did it without and they were able to do a great job! I had a lot of people standing around watching that 1 too 😆 it was weird and I was scared but the Doctor was great I've had teeth pulled 5 minutes in the chair and out again 😊
Chid i want all the pain medicine. Im also a opiod addict clean now almost 25 years. Throughout those years i have had surgery, and different procedures, and it never sent me back there. Im very careful of not going home on opiod painkillers.
I mean respect to her for not wanting narcotics But The doctors also have to do their job and sometimes u just got to Do and they don’t need to use narcotics there alternative anaesthetic options
Shes honest and thats hard especially when it comes to addiction. Im proud she admitted it
That is so true and I'm sure the temptation was real.
Dude it's a show@@heleavesthe99
Well... She wasn't honest to her husband. Just saying.

Did anybody else think she was going to say she was pregnant
No shit sherlock
Yes!!! I thought she would too. It would make since given the situation.
Nope not if you were like her. You know exactly what she was talking about unfortunately
no because painkillers usually do not affect a fetus so severely that one would need to say no to all of them lol
I diddd lol

After reading a lot of this comment section, I’m sending support and ❤ to anyone battling addiction. Stay strong!
The husband is our very own Zimbabwean Tongayi Chirisa❤🎉🎉
She is not taking chances, she is disciplined. Once you overcome you must make sure you stay there.😊
So true. I'm a recovering addict too but I'll be damned if I go through trauma with no pain meds. No thank you.
Zimbabweans gather here for our guy T🎉😊
Now that’s love and knowing thy self
I refuse pain killers too, not because I’m a addict though. Because I don’t want to be one. When I got my wisdom teeth pulled when I was 17, I refused all pain killers even over the counter ones. I went through 3 all natural child births. And last year I broke my foot and same thing. You’re supposed to feel pain, it’s how your body protects you from doing further damage.
💜 GOD BLESS YOU 😇🙏🏼 I'VE HAD 4 NATURAL BIRTH'S, MY 2 SON'S EACH WEIGHED 10 POUNDS! BUT NOW I HAVE FIBROMYALGIA, FULL OF ARTHRITIS (OSTEOARTHRITIS)
CELIAC DISEASE,
SOME TYPE OF SOFT TISSUE DISEASE (UNDIAGNOSED) I LIVE IN CONSTANT PAIN. I DO TAKE MEDS TO SURVIVE.
HAVE TO HAVE ANOTHER HIP REPLACEMENT SURGERY, REALLY INVOLVED DUE TO BEING PUSHED BACK WITH COVID EPIDEMIC. ALSO NEED BOTH KNEES, LEFT SHOULDER REPLACED. ANOTHER NECK SURGERY BECAUSE THE OTHER ONE WASN'T DONE RIGHT A YEAR AGO.
WISH I COULD GET A NEW BODY! BUT UNFORTUNATELY I AM STUCK WITH THE ONE THAT HAS FAILED ME. MY DAUGHTER HAS SAID MY MEDS WILL KILL ME. I SAY, THEY'RE THE ONLY REASON I WANT TO KEEP LIVING. I LIVE WITH CHRONIC PAIN, NOT SOMETHING I CHOSE. BUT I DO NOT ABUSE MY MEDS, JUST TAKE TO SURVIVE DAY TO DAY. STAY BLESSED 😇🙏🏼✝️💜💜💜
@@KATYMCGINNwhy are you yelling?
But you can also die from the pain too, too much pain could potentially kill you. That's why doctors recommend you take painkillers so they can relieve you from the pain and keep you alive. But I get it, couldn't be me because I can't do pain I throw up too easily but big ups to you for being a strong ass woman.
She's a living testimony
Over here we barely use drugs during labour. I was 8cm dilated when i got to the hospital, i just went into labour, my membrane was ruptured and in no time babh waa out. I respect this woman she a real hero.
I’m a recovering opioid addict and have had surgery several times in the past 11 years. Sometimes you need to take the medication so your body doesn’t go into shock and died. You have to be careful with brutally honest about your pain. Recovery is all about self improvement, healing and honesty.
I can't stop.20 hydros a day . And alcoholic.
Praying for you bro. I don’t know if you have kids, but if you do , think of them. If you don’t, think of yourself. You’re not at the end of your life, but the habit could stop your life tomorrow. One day you need to make a choice to either continue feeling the pain and taking vices to make it feel better , potentially die, or you need to give yourself forgiveness and grace and love. Everyone makes mistakes , everyone has a hard time, and some of us have had some very terrible life experiences. But right now, right here, you’re alive. and that means more than anything, because after this it’s an unknown world. There’s so many hobbies and interests you could chase, get high off the feeling of life. You may not remember that feeling because you’ve gotten high for a long time, but it’s still there, the drugs just don’t allow you to feel it. I love you man, heart to heart my dad left when I was four because of opiate addiction and he’s out there at 40 years old still running from his problems and his children, never feeling okay, always lying to cover up his feelings and his reality. I just want you to know that someone out here really really gives a fuck that you do better, even if my comment does nothing for you and you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just have to try. Because you mean something. You do. Love man.
It’s up to you baby you just gotta want it. We all face our demons and some of us handle them better than others. I’ve never touched anything other than weed because I don’t know if i have an addictive personality and I’m too scared to risk it. My brothers an alcoholic and so my relationship with alcohol isn’t the best. He was just diagnosed with a blood disease that will probably kill him within the next two years. He’s only 33. We’ve begged him for years to stop and now it’s too late and the one thing I realized is it didn’t matter what we did. It’s was all his choice. Only you can make that choice for yourself and want to do better. Choose to do better. Or choose to keep going and fighting the pain the easy way. But know there are people who love and believe in you. And way more out there you don’t even know yet that would and will all you have to do is reach out for the help.
I'm 4.5 years from any opioid I could get my hands on. You can do it. Reach out and get help. Suboxone is great, but there are many other options if you don't like that. You CAN do it.
What is hydro?
@@deltamkbguessing hydrocodone
Wow 🤯 bravo on that honesty
I’m addicted tk drugs don’t give me an ice pack I’m confused
her legs folded ☠️☠️
I think it got cut off and was supposed to be: *Can we give her something better* than this ice pack for the pain.
@@MrsJolene- thanks
This is a lady that wants to do right big ups to u!!!
This is the first I've heard about this situation since I thought about this same problem I have. My current most recent issue is wanting to have skin removal surgery after drastic weight loss, and that is exactly what I'm afraid of. Having surgery is how I got hooked again and I don't want to go backwards. I always provide that info so there is no interaction with other problems that may come up. ER visits I really stress "no take home script" and give my counselor notes of what I was given in ER.
I mean theres plenty of non narcotic anesthetics so this shouldn't even be an issue. They could literally just give her nitrous even.
Maybe not Nitrous effects your mental state in a way that probably wouldn't be good for an addict either.
I had an old boss go out like this; he was having lung surgery for cancer, and he did that shit off Tylenol!!!
Wow, very strong Lady! God bless you 🙏
*She's so pretty* 🙂↔️❤️
Amen your faith has healed you
i didnt see her leg at first but when i watched it a second time i legitimately did a double take
I respect her strength
I’ll have 10 years clean in September of this year and just because you’re an addict does not mean when something major like that happens like you break a leg or you need surgery that doesn’t mean that you cannot have pain medication just because we’re addicts does not mean we have to suffer as long as you stay connected with your doctor, your sponsor and take it as directed and only if it’s for a serious injury like this absolutely it’s OK
For how long were you addicted ma'
I am on opioids for one year now due to strange back pain am scared am I addicted? How can I get out?
Quick recovery 🥰🙏🙏🙏
It doesn’t say much for her trust in him if she couldn’t even tell him that. If she was so afraid he’d leave her he wasn’t worthy of her to begin with.
I had a mental breakdown fresh in recovery and was like this, if your brain feels like it's on fire and you just went through something traumatic take the meds! Caused bipolar but God healed me of it. We are promised a sound mind thank the Lord. Not fun to fight your brain, I almost didn't make it through that. If you have to hand your script meds to a trusted family member to dose out and call your sponsor everyday.
Now that’s self control na determination!
She's correct it only take one time
"Do what you must to fix my leg, but if you inject me painkillers, you gonna send me back to the kingdom of drugs."
She's not told her husband, that's living a lie and she should've been HONEST WITH HIM WAY BEFORE NOW
Lady I take my hat off to you I couldn’t do that and god bless you also.
For those who want to know, she went through surgery without anesthesia. She endure intense pain just so that she wouldn't go back being a addict. She came out ok and will recover.
I told my doctor an husband straight out..never kept it from them..I started in High School that was in 2004 got clean in 2016.
ANY, and i mean ANY , counselor, sponser, doctor, therapist, etc that helps addicts will tell you, that as long as you follow doctors orders you're not messing up your sobriety. What she wanted and made doctors do, could of killed her. Pain really can mess up your heart and breathing. She could of been numbed up with out opiods. I feels so awful for her, even though its a show.
I TRUELY MISSED THIS TV SHOW THE GOOD DOCTOR IT WAS VERY ENTERTAINING 💯 ❤
She was a patient Grey's Anatomy
I also made it through childbirth without drugs
Omoo I thank God ooo
The strongest woman...an undercover dope fiend.
People really compliment fake characters
Clean 16 years. Going to the ER is hard for me.
I can understand her !!!
What I'm hearing is the doctors should do their job, and you should be open with your family so they can help you stay clean. Stop hiding everything with lies. As someone who almost died because of a fuckin Xanax addiction I can safely say she's her own problem. Doctors do what you have to everything else is on her
I remember her from Chicago pd
"Ma'am we don't use opioids to put people to sleep during surgery."
Right? Finally someone else caught the lmfao
It's not about the anesthesia but rather the pain meds she'll need after surgery
@@ciarabarnes591they end up doing the surgery anyway, but withought anestesia at all. Which is bs.
She said icepack for the pain not Vicodin lol😂
Paragraph man, I summon thee!
Vicodin keep dr house far away
(Gas and air..UK) have entered the chat ❤
I saw this episode..they operated on her leg without medication…no anesthesia or anything
Broke my tibia and dislocated my foot..... drugs were my friend🤧🤒🤕😷 i was mad when the good prescipt ran out but all good till rain and used over the counter till not needed. But i can tell you when rain is coming to this day💯🤷🏽♀️🤷🏾 it's a faint ache and throb but no meds needed 🙆🏾🙆🏾♀️
An epidural could be used for the initial treatment and perhaps a very, very slow drip of the medication to combat the pain during the healing process. ???
Chiiile I delivered 2 of my own babies no meds AND had twins with no meds lol
“THAT hurts less than child birth?!” Next sound, muffled slurp of a womb PERMANENTLY closing up shop BEFORE it even gets started! 😂😂😂
When I got knee surgery I swore that I would not take any drugs besides like Advils and Tylenol and it sucked but I got over it
Wow 😮
Can't even think of something reasonable to say. But the fact that refused to take pain killers to suppress her pain just to prevent her from going back to her drug addiction is fu*king BALLSY
There is always the good ol' fashioned way
I have an addictive personality and will refuse painkillers whenever possible. Im scared of turning into my drug addicted mom. When I had a C-section 7.5 months ago I refused pain meds while healing. Ill take over the counter pain meds when i can but thats it.
They did a root canal on me with nothing because I'm allergic to the Anastasia, novacane !! I did it without and they were able to do a great job! I had a lot of people standing around watching that 1 too 😆 it was weird and I was scared but the Doctor was great I've had teeth pulled 5 minutes in the chair and out again 😊
How did she keep that secret for 10 years? Wow 😮
Did someone say Vicodin?👀
Wooow Tongayi from Zim 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Shes a fantastic actress
Son broke his arm and had a 10 inch rod put in his arm. he got tylanol and ibprophen alternated..I was shocked it didn't require stronger meds
I got Vicodin when I had my wisdom teeth out and it really did make me sick for two days.
I use about 460mg codeine every day for the past 11 years 😑😑😑
Crying rn
Chid i want all the pain medicine. Im also a opiod addict clean now almost 25 years. Throughout those years i have had surgery, and different procedures, and it never sent me back there. Im very careful of not going home on opiod painkillers.
What about anesthetics?
There is definitely a way to be sedated without narcotics.
That leg looks like a swinging elephant trunk. 😂😂😂
Someone tell me that he figured a way to do this..!!
Yea I told the doctor that
. They said to bad and shot me up with fentenal before cutting my brain open
I mean respect to her for not wanting narcotics
But
The doctors also have to do their job and sometimes u just got to Do and they don’t need to use narcotics there alternative anaesthetic options
Random but um, she has really nice teeth
M7ch respect
Why didnt they at least give her a block.
Name plz of the movie
