Unbelievable! The worst pain I ever had in my life was when I had pleurisy, it took an hour to crawl from my bed to the phone to call the ambulance, the 2nd worst pain was when I had my aneurism.
They gave me large doses of oxycontin in both cases, and I don’t know what i would have done without that, at least for the day I was in the ER.
I was in such pain that I literally was screaming and about to either vomit or pass out.
What would they have me do, with this policy? Drink a slug of whiskey and bite on a pencil??

Yeh what happened to morphine drip? You are not going to get addicted in a day or two.
I have had pleurisy and it is painful....you better no cough or worse yet sneeze. Pain medication while it was healing and no problem stopping them when I got better..
