Life Expectancy Falls Again, First Consecutive Drop Since 1962-1963

[jesmu84]

Guy hurt in a car crash in chronic horrible pain.  Doctors afraid to feed his addition because they did not want to lose their license.  Guy resorts to stealing, drug trafficking, and forgery to get pills. 

Convicted and sent to prison.  But in prison, they decided the best course of action to feed his addition to relive him of the pain.  So in prison, he gets exactly what he could not get outside of prison.

So there are cases when feeding the addition might be the best course of action.  Like this guy in constant terrible pain or those with advanced illnesses in the final weeks/months of their life. If becoming a junkie makes them comfortable, doctors helping them should not be punished.

They key word is "uh" which is not found in the English language and has no definition.  Since you prefer to use words with no definitions, I can interpret any way I want so why are you shocked I'm not following your point?

Try again using your MU education.

My point is that there are physicians who can and do provide appropriate, long term/chronic pain medications (sometimes even to addicts) without any fear of losing their license.

The 60 minutes story said these physicians experience sky high melpractice insurance, constant investigations by the FBI and medical boards.  They portrayed pain management practices as awful and consequently there are few of them.

Is this correct?
