POTUS 45.22 - The Genius of Donald Trump

Regulation doesn't mean banning them. Just don't hand them out like candy.

I've had a couple dental surgeries, and I actually had to sign forms saying I refused to accept Vicodin/Percocet. I get it, the dentist has to cover themselves for insurance reason, but it's THAT easy to get these types of drugs.

When I had bursitis, immediately got a script for Norco from the ER. After surgery a couple weeks later, got another one.

I'm not sure it did anything to help, but it made me not give a ****.

I did try Vic (one pill) and it made me all twitchy, like a crackhead. Tossed the rest of the pills. The next round I got Perc, same reaction, and tossed the rest of that bottle. Have refused everything ever since. Would rather deal with the pain, which honestly isn't that bad anyway.

You're allergic or have a reverse reaction, and are the exception. This is well-documented, by you and the medical community.

Most people get their (too large) script, take a few pills, and are OK. It sits in their bathroom cabinet for a couple years, until their kids or grandkids find it, and roll the dice...

About 5-10% can't stop once they pop. But, this doesn't necessarily mean they're addicted to EVERYTHING. Some can say no to one drug, but can't stop with another.

I got vic for a bad sore throat once, I got codeine as a kid for strep from the ER...to pretend there is any sort of regulation on this crap is the height of ignorance.
 
Re: POTUS 45.22 - The Genius of Donald Trump

I had a bad reaction too. I had my wisdom teeth out. Impacted, all of them and I developed dry sockets. I took one Vicodin the next morning when everything started to hurt bad. The room spun for four hours. We dumped the rest of them.

My dad used to get Vicodin or Percocet every time he went in for dental work. He quit taking them when one time he had a bad reaction and had breathing issues.

The last time I went in for a root canal (took a soccer ball to the face playing goalie) the dentist said she has a no opiate policy and a no prophylactic antibiotic policy unless **** hits the fan. She prescribed ketolorac instead. When the tooth started hurting bad because of a latent infection, she said she wasn’t ready to prescribe anything stronger. I did get a scrip for an antibiotic and a refill on my ketolorac. I keep going back to her because of these kinds of policies. Despite the 45-60 minute drive. (That and she always tells me I have great teeth :D )

That’s just insane when something like an OTC analgesic will work.

Agreed, and my point. Basically, right now if you ask for something like that, you'll get it. It's sick.

Make America Great Again

Made-in-America Keystone was a stunt. Most of its pipes had already been manufactured, a fact the White House grudgingly admitted when it exempted the project from any new Buy American rules a few months later. While some of Keystone’s pipes were made in the U.S., at least a quarter of them came from a Russian steel company whose biggest shareholder is an oligarch and Trump family friend. The company, Evraz North America, supplied Keystone from its steel plants in Canada and for years has lobbied in Washington against Trump-style protectionism.
Ten months after his Keystone event, Trump has yet to deliver on his pledge to boost the fortunes of American steel. Two self-imposed deadlines for trade action, one in June and one in July, have come and gone. Meanwhile, the prospect of tariffs has led to a surge of cheap foreign steel into the U.S., with imports rising 24 percent in 2017, the fastest increase in years.

I am sure it is a coincidence that the steel is coming from Russia...and it is just random that the company has ties to Trump. I bet Huckabee Sanders will say the White had nothing to do with it just like the Puerto Rico utilities BS.

Of course I am sure this is just #fakenews from those commie pinko liberals at Bloomberg!!! Bunch of (((globalists)))

But regulation is stupid just ask walrus! (or joe for that matter)

I want my doctor to be able to prescribe for me what he or she feels will work for me not what Handy or one of his prized bureaucrats thinks will work for me.

What we are pretty much saying is that too often (as an example), docs will prescribe something like Vicodin when a stronger version of regular ibuprofen would do. Don't need the overkill, in other words.

Well, sure, because Big Advil isn't cutting checks to doctors. :D

Fox is all about Clinton. They even brought in Trey Gowdy of Benghazi fame. The one who couldn't get her after 10 hours of under oath testimony.

Which is a good indicator that the Russia Investigation is quickly coming to a head. Instead of hours and hours of interrogation that lead to exactly nothing, we are getting some actual charges filed in this investigation.

The dump apologists and fake news people will be coming out of the wood work even more. Until some are thrown in jail.

Brent nailed it. I’m sorry, but when a quadrillion pills - of a highly addictive, extremely dangerous substance - are prescribed in a town of 5,000 in West Virginia, there’s a problem. And it’s not limited to Appalachia. It’s a nationwide problem.

This stuff should be tracked, verified, and easily flagged for abuse. Hell, I’m not even sure it should be prescribed in all but the rarest of occasions outside of a hospital.
 
Re: POTUS 45.22 - The Genius of Donald Trump

Fox did a good job making it all about Clinton in the round table. They sure nail their talking points.

They are right- had Clinton not run, or didn't win the nomination, dump would not had to result to turning to the Ruskies.

So it's clearly Clinton's fault that dump and his cronies broke the law.

They flipping track if we buy Sudafed because it MIGHT be used to make Meth but they can prescribe friggin heroin as often as they want for whatever they want. As someone who lost a cousin to opiodes and whose gf lost her brother to them that is friggin disgusting.

But hey walrus you are right...doctors should be able to prescribe whatever they want. Maybe we can go back to the days of prescribing cocaine for headaches and psychological trauma too right? Wouldnt want any bureaucrats getting in the way. Great take.
