Bloomie will never sit in an ER waiting area for 3 hours waiting for Xrays, with multiple fractures, and without powerful pain relief, as did my spouse 3 weeks ago

Sorry your spouse had such a bad experience - hope things are improving. Unfortunately, once Obunglercare is fully implemented, a 3 hour wait will sound like paradise.

I am so sorry that happened to your wife, silverleaf. I know it was hard for you to watch as well. I hope she is doing well now. What concerns me about this is the “shotgun” management approach. Are there people who go to the E.R. complaining of “pain” to get a script? Sure. However, many people need pain killers to deal with broken bones, stitches, whatever. My GP told me some years ago that pain medications aren’t just for the pain. If the body is undergoing pain, it doesn’t heal as fast/quickly. Liberals like to look at the problem group (no matter what low % it may be) and puts everyone into that group. We’re seeing it with our 2nd amendment... now we’re seeing it with pain medications.
