Did anyone really not know that oxycontin was addictive? Beside Rush Limbaugh? john -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Sent: Fri, 11 May 2007 6:15 PM Subject: RE: [QUAD-L] Pain Relief
But this was a good thing the government did. The company misled the government and the people about how addicting the medication is. That is what the government should do. They should not bother doctors who are giving it to cancer patients and others in major pain. And doctors should give it to those who need it, even if it means the government might want to check their records. Greg Well the government is coming down and finally did do something. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/11/business/11drug-web.html Mark Jackson RollinOn I can’t believe it is so hard to get doctors to help with pain meds. They try to push you off to other doctors because they are too scared to write prescriptions for medications like Oxycontin or MS-Contin, etc. I always get the same excuse… The Government really is coming down on doctors who over prescribe these drugs. Well them, don’t over prescribe and keep good records. Worry more about your patient… Think of your Hippocratic Oath. That is to us, not the government. These meds are like your wanting to go snort coke with a hooker. There are so many very hard meds out there, I don’t know why these became so evil. I know they are abused a lot, but that should not mean they should not be used properly. No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
