This is a very clear case of Medical Worker Drug Seeking Syndrome. Textbook presentation. I have heard that this disorder's cost to the medical communities accuracy and productivity looks profound. As the medical industry makes up a very large part of the US economy, it may be significantly hindering the nation's productivity. Now, its important to distinguish between productivity and profitability.. cause everyone knows they are getting away with highway robbery.A long time ago I was bitten by my cat, puncture wound (which almost always causes a nasty infection).
The next day my foot was showing signs of infection, so I went to the doctor. "You're fine, take some ibuprofen and go home"... ok
Day 2 the infection was obvious and it was becoming painful. I go back to the doctor. "You're fine, I'm not going to give you any pain medication, here is some antibiotics, take some ibuprofen and go home".... ok, didn't even ask for pain meds
Day 3 my foot had swollen to the size of a football, was extremely painful and could not walk on it. I looked up pictures of cat bite infections (people lose limbs) and went to the emergency room. I was put on IV antibiotics and was in A LOT of pain. I did not even ask for anything, I had a family member with me who drove me to the ER since I couldn't drive myself. The doctor then starts asking them all sorts of questions, if I'm an addict, had I ever been on pain meds before, have I ever been to rehab... thankfully they said no (even though they knew the answer was obviously YES, they didn't want to fuck me over)... and then the doctor gracefully prescribed me 20x 10mg codeine pills a grand total of 200mg of codeine.
So I left with a $3000 bill and 200mg codeine which didn't even do fuck all for the pain I was in. I was on crutches and the pain when I stood up or tried to walk was excruciating for over a week. Terrible infection.
I really don't think injuring yourself in an attempt for some opioids is a good idea in the US these days. Might as well pawn your mattress for a lottery ticket methinks.
I get stuff from different doctors quite a lot. Usually ER or urgent care places. If you're convincing and appear to be sincere, a lot of doctors will give you a small amount (10-30 pills) of opiate painkillers. It's one hell of an acting job, though.I don't think this works anymore unless you're lucky/competant at finessing doctors, there are people with broken spines not given scripts.
You generally get nothing outside of a hospital now unless you are in the club already and found the right doc.
Or hurting yourself by accident or necessity (dentalcare) and getting prescribed nothing other then Paracetamol and/ or an NSAID.I haven't done it and have no intention of...it would be fkin tragic to injure yourself on purpose for opiates and then not get any prescribed though, damn
If so, how did you do it?
In reality I usually drove a yz400 and was riding my friends ktm200. We were riding the adobes in Montros CO and because of the bike change I was feeling like Jermy McGrath.. we rode the adobes and then dropped into this track.. I hit a triple thinking it was a double.. completely bottomed out and nearly broke my back. I wasn't even taking opiates at all at the time and certainly wasn't hurting myself to get them. Anyway lunatic ER doc suffering from Medical Worker Drug Seeking Syndrome.. denied me pain meds.. so I hobbled to my family doc and got a script and a doughnut for my poor broken tailbone
Nice.. the one I was referring to was the beginning of the Four strokes.. the thumper.. all the track boys laughed at the four stokes initially. But they put the power down in a way that doesn’t waste energy throwing mud.. more of the power translates into forward velocity. 400 two stroke even from the 80s is a damn big dirt bike.. I remember a Honda 500 2 stroke as well.. So that day I went from the Yamaha thumper, 400 4 stroke track bike to a fully tricked out ktm 200 enduro 2 stroke. That’s what had me thinking I was Superman.. and really I was riding amazing.. and then i ate shit really bad. One of our buddies was dating this bare back rider cowgirl and she was laughing at me and giving me all this shit. She pulls this full size bronco out to grab me at the track.. I’m like you crazy bitch call the meat wagon.. sadistic woman is rolling that stupid Ford at like 20mpg on basically a moto track and worse for seven miles to the first "road". I have a broken tailbone ( that wasn’t even bad at first.. just went totally numb.. and think I have a broken back.. some crazy Florida red neck girl and this totally sketch half wild wolf “dog”:. That crazy redneck cowgirl has me hitting my head on the ceiling of that truck. Then by gods grace I make it to the ER and just get this insane dr. And I HAD to drive from Gunnison to Fort Collins driving a standerd that day. Driving a standard over the fucking Continental Divide after yard sailing.. I just kept lighting j bones of big skunk the whole way down and thanking the lord that was not my woman and that I could still walk.I had a yz400, that thing was a monster, a giant single cylinder two-stroke beast. Even though it was old and the engine was air-cooled that thing popped unwanted wheelies in 4th gear. I actually found it. Was in high school at the time, we were hiking on a remote hillside and I see these handlebars sticking out of the mud. We start digging and ended up excavating an entire, fully complete YZ400 from the 1980s. Seemed to have been caught up in a mud slide. Or maybe it was stolen. We took it home and I got it started that day. Just had to clean the carb and wash the mud out of the cylinder. 2 cycle engines are so simple, that wouldn't have been possible with a 4 cycle engine
As to the subject, no I've never done it. Not because i was above it but because i knew it probably wouldn't work. Some time ago i know one approach was to fake kidney stones. The key was to add a tiny drop of blood from a finger into the urine sample, which would confirm the diagnosis of kidney stones (in the mind of the ER physician). This will almost certainly not work because doctors became aware of this scam, and doubly so now due to physician fear of dispensing narcotics.
The truth is, unless you are an elderly woman, you are going to have to hurt yourself really bad to get narcotics, far more than they little amount of narcotics they might give you is worth.
Going to move this to drug culture though, this is definitely a classic drug culture type subject
Ime it indeed doesn't, pain doesn't necessary mean getting treatment for it.I had a yz400, that thing was a monster, a giant single cylinder two-stroke beast.
