What is it about doctors and being really, really paranoid about giving you the appropriate pain medication... when you have cancer? Every single one I've met like that has been busted for being a pillpopper/distributor.
Around here they have been conducting sting operations busting doctors for writing bogus presriptions, many of those arrested had their cases tossed out due to the fact the undercover agents lied and quoted symptoms of severe pain.. all these doctors were guilty of was believing the patients and not sending them out for a dozen tests before giving them relief.
I myself at one point suffered from chronic and severe pain brought on by a birth defect in my lower spine which caused one of my vertebra to be open with spurs that the nerves would roll over and get stuck outside the channel. I took enough Dilaudid to kill a horse for years.. I later learned some drug free pain management techniques and it seldom bothers me now.
