Opioid deaths skyrocket in PA as Trump is unable to contain crisis (but he can golf and tweet)

[forkup]

Yes but sometimes prescribing narcotics creates more problems then it solves.
I'm Belgian, my wife's American. My mother in law died while being addicted to Oxicoton. An addiction she picked up after a surgery. My wife just had surgery here. The pain meds she got prescribed was a form of Tylenol. My mother in law was pain free but addicted when she left the hospital. My wife was in pain a few days after her surgery but not addicted. Which of these you think is preferable?

I've been through multiple serious surgeries over the last three years.
Hip replacement,cancer and back surgery to be exact,and I'm here to tell you Tylenol didnt dent the pain.

Just had hip replacement. Got two different pain meds norco and tramadol. Neither actually toot away pain. I’m on day nine and stopped both. I don’t get it. Neither did anything. 325 mg of norco. Made me drowsy and that’s it. Stopped zero pain.

When I had a wrist operation with pins and screws I was on morphine in the hospital, which worked well as it should, The doctor sent me home with a prescription for 500mg of Tylenol with 5mg of Codeine. It did not do squat. I called the doctor and ask for something stronger and he said no, then I screamed at him that 5mg of Codeine was all that was in this pill and I would go to another fucking doctor if I needed to. He then called a prescription to the pharmacy for Talwin. Talwin is highly addictive, but it works. So if you are in pain start some shit, there is no reason for your pain

I beg to differ.
Overdose deaths involving prescription opioids were five times higher in 2016 than 1999,1 and sales of these prescription drugs have quadrupled.3 From 1999 to 2016, more than 200,000 people have died in the U.S. from overdoses related to prescription opioids.

You are aware that drug smugglers and counterfeiters are making pills for resale right?

LOL. no you never thought of that

So those 200000 dead people got their pills illegally. Is that your claim? If it is I have too say you are either dumb or dishonest.

Again pills are made to be sold as real, it's a fact

Sure, and it's also a fact that the link I provided was VERY specific. Prescription, overdose deaths. Not counterfeit, not illegally obtained, not other causes then overdoses. So all the justification you provided are blown out of the water by the link, provided by the one agency who collects the data.

Than why are the deaths directly related with scripts written by docs?

Because doctors ALWAYS work with sick people and sick people have a higher rate of death than others.

Doctors even prescribe pills to terminally ill people guaranteed to die, hopefully not in pain.

President Donald Trump is failing miserably in the battle against the opioid crisis.
What a pathetic, lazy President. He should drop that fucking golf club and get to work.
'Worst year,' 'terrifying trend': Opioid, heroin deaths in '17 ravage Central Pa. counties

It’s not his job...

Yes it is. If the crisis were under control, you would declare him a savior: Trump vows to 'win' against opioid epidemic, offers no new steps

In fact, it isn't.

Narcotics do save a lot of lives you know, they also improve the quality of life for millions of people. Why do you want people to suffer?

Dude, they made me get out of bed and walk same day of surgery. It’s amazing the trauma in a hip replacement.. they cut a seven inch Incision. Then dislocated my hip. Leg free from the torso. Then they cut the stem and ball off clean out the hip socket drilled a hole in the femer bone and slam a rod in the femer. Put it all back together and sew you back up. Then make you walk on the new leg four hours later. Pain? Holy fk. Nothing worked to relieve the pain. Day nine I’m walking pain free with a cane. Wow!

That all sounds familiar..
Just thank the good Lord they go in from the front these days rather than the back,way less muscle damage.
Hell,I was climbing stairs three days after my hip replacement.
Of course I had no choice since the big screen is upstairs in the game room and the Texans were playing.....

The NORCO actually worked way better for me than Tramadol and when taken with a muscle relaxer it allowed me to get some shut eye.
But yeah they dont take all the pain away thats for sure.

Me, I’m totally confused why people want to take them. Did nothing for me.

When I left the hospital three weeks ago after the spinal fusion they had me on NORCO and I was just fine.....by the time we took the 15 mile trip home I was about to puke from the pain and swore up and down to the wife that it couldnt be the same pills I was taking in the hospital.
By the next day the ride home effects had settled and the Norco worked fine.

I gotta say the best pain killer I've ever received was Dilaudid.
It stopped my kidney stone pain in its tracks....unfortunately I was asleep before I could enjoy it.

I had neck fusion in 2015. Had norco then as well. Never had pain too bad ibuprofen worked. Never took the norco

Mine was the 3rd and 4th lumbar.
The bad part as the doc explained was that your entire body weight was being supported by the bad vertebrae,so from the waist up. Which of course is going to be more traumatic than the weight of your head.

I gotta say the back surgery has been far worse than the cancer surgery or the hip replacement in terms of recovery time and lingering pain.

The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government, are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected. The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State. -James Madison Federalist 45
