These drug-seeking welfare queens and kings need to be arrested and tried AND found guilty!!!!...But not the physicians who greatly increase their revenue by becoming a prescription-mill to rich and poor alike, assisting them in getting hooked. (First do no harm?) Pull their license and toss them in jail.

I've seen too many people in great pain for many years. They, as a whole, are not seeking opiates because they are hooked, they Fucking HURT for hours on end, day in, day out and need relief. When you attempt suicide because the doctor can't or won't help you...

Try it yourself and see what it is like. Pain, real pain. It can take a family member of mine an hour to get out of bed with help.
She sees doctors continually. Injured her back caring for a severely physical-mentally disabled young man for years...she used to fish, play baseball, horseback riding, loved going to auctions and shopping. Now? House-bound, can't nurse patients and in pain every fucking day...If she tells a physician this or that reliever doesn't work, she is now a "drug-seeker" and a loser.
