So I keep seeing stories about how prescription rates in the US are really high compared to other nations so therefore patients are giant pansies who need to suffer through their pain. How do we know that pain meds are being prescribed too much rather than other nations simply not caring about pain? It seems rather cruel to tell a patient, "just suck it up, it's only terminal cancer". How much higher are these rates? Are doctors generally giving refills on these automatically? Or does this have to do with the lack of records that cross state lines?
