Oxycodone (bankrupt, live, medical)

[NCN]

I think this drug should be banned. There are just too many reports of people that cannot give it up.

For 2010 Oregon had the 4th highest rate of prescription pain killers sold in the U.S. at 11.6 kilograms per 10,000 in population. Which could help answer you question in the other thread about where all the prescription drug overdoses in Washington and Colorado are getting their supply.

You can chalk that up to our assisted suicide law. The medical community got really upset when sick people decided to just end it rather than put up with the pain. My dad died of lung cancer, and he left a grocery bag full of unused pain killers when he died. They finally drugged him into insensibility and he died because he was no longer conscious enough to eat or drink. Frankly, I didn't see much difference between assisted suicide and medical treatment, though the medical treatment took longer.

We've sort of swung the other way - in October I broke my ankle while out in the Steens. In a not-so-quick trip to Urgent Care, I got 3 - count 'em 3 - pain killers. When I complained that this was not enough, I was treated very rudely, in what I suspect was a reaction to what they deemed as "drug seeking." So I had to come home, make an appt with my own doctor (a quick $120, as I only have a catastrophic insurance policy) to get a prescription for another 5, so I could sleep at night).

Did your dad actually sign up for assisted suicide? Because I know two people who did and it did not work that way at all.

I think his point is that to counter the perception that people chose assisted suicide because they felt their pain was not being managed well enough, doctors chose to prescribe larger amounts and doses of pain killers to seriously/terminally ill patients so that the patient would not feel that assisted suicide was the only option.

At least that was how I read it.

Sorry but suicide is for cowards. It is never the answer. By the time you figure that out it is too late.

You are entitled to your opinion of course, but please don't claim to speak for anyone else. I watched my mother die a long and agonizing death from a terminal medical condition and I don't wish to suffer like that - nor inflict that suffering on the people around me.
