Oh no someone is giving away hundreds of dollars of free drugs to kids, I am encouraged to believe.

The best part about this article is it doesn't even say that someone was giving drug-laced candy out to kids, it just says that edibles exist:

quote:

The Johnstown Police Department issued a warning on their Facebook page Thursday morning after authorities said they discovered "Nerds Rope edibles containing 400mg of THC" while fulfilling a search warrant in Stoneycreek Township. The department also recently seized 60 pounds of marijuana from the area, reports CBS Pittsburgh.

People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.

Being devil's advocate, having to deal with addicts trying to get their fix in a healthcare setting is one of the most dangerous and upsetting things an employee and other patients will have to deal with on a regular basis. It is an absolutely soul-draining process to deal with one, even when they're getting their meds and being polite.

So even though addicts are still human beings I understand why they're the first to get blamed.

What's the soul draining part if they're being polite?

watching an addict hurt themselves and others is a really drat painful thing, even from a distance.

probably not as bad as being the addict, but there's a reason doctors have a very high suicide rate and it's not just constant, industry wide overwork and private insurance fuckery

I guess it's not impossible the guy's from a community where being a young parent isn't considered that big of a deal but even then the power dynamic is just completely hosed in every respect.

working retail near a pharmacy I basically got to watch a normal guy deteriorate in real time after he took up doing heroin. Seeing someone go from normal to a saggy-skinned skeleton man stuffing bottles of lotion down his pants is a pretty big bummer.

Most people in healthcare, especially those in frontline roles like doctors, nurses, aides, clerks, etc., chose that industry because they actually do like helping people.

Thus

Watching someone abuse themselves to the point of irreparable damage sucks. Even when everything is otherwise fine--they get their meds on time, don't make a peep of trouble, and your shifts go smoothly it's hard to avoid the existential pain of knowing you're enabling someone and being powerless to stop the cycle. "This is not what I signed up to do" is a common thought.

Caregiver burnout is a very real thing.

Its a terrible double edge seeing the addicts trying/getting their pills and then those with chronic long term pain having to get ridiculously restricted now where some doctors will straight up refuse to prescribe any opiate for any reason. Now what are those legit users supposed to do in a time of dire pain and need? Go to the streets? Go to the ER every time? The stress of it all probably doesn't help either.

ERs in many places won’t give opiates or opioids except in cases of extreme trauma. Even for people with terminal illnesses.

Didn’t it turn out that opioids actually don’t work all that well for chronic pain? And that Pfizer knew that but pushed doctors to prescribe it anyway?

I don't think so,they're pretty much the only pain killer, everything else used as one treats conditions that cause pain, opioids make pain go away.
