  1. $100 the postal service is still intact in 4 years
  2. Don’t post shit like this. The postal service is in article I of the constitution
  3. So get everybody hooked on OxyContin, and then try to cure them with Suboxone. We are going to need a whole lot of Luigi’s.
  4. This is right when I was doing my orthopedic surgery residency. Between fractures and big surgeries, our specialty writes. a ton of appropriate opiate prescriptions. You learned pretty quick that Tylenol with codeine and low-dose hydrocodone work for most people for most things. And you learn that oxycodone is potential fucking trouble. Kids these days would say it hits different. People asking for Percs was always a big red flag Then all of a sudden you have all these reps coming into clinic telling you it’s not the Percocet that is the problem, it’s the immediate release. If you give them a slow steady dose over 12 to 24 hours, nobody gets addicted. All of us laughed at that bullshit, but a fuck ton of primary care doctors started prescribing this shit and pretty soon their patients were crushing them and snorting them. These were normal fucking people with garden variety ailments and they wind up losing their jobs and ending up buying heroin off the street. Hanging is too good for these fucks
  5. And half of them are for meds for psoriasis. They have this great medicine that will get rid of your itchy skin rash, and then they list all of these absolutely horrible potential side effects that can fucking kill you.
  6. Vioxx was a great drug for the appropriate patient. It was equivalent or superior to morphine for acute pain and great for inflammation It wasn’t appropriate for people with certain risk factors wrt cardiovascular disease. Merck had trials that indicated it might be dangerous for such patients but nothing definitive so they tried to hide it. Once it was used widely these risks became clear. They killed tens of thousands but also deprived millions of a safe and effective pain relief option.

    Just came to post the DSM still classified homosexuality as a disorder NOS in the version when I was in med school in the early to mid 90s. DSM 5 was the first one to remove all language of it being a mental disorder and that came out in 2013. Crazy eta especially w all the psychiatrists who are gay. Although a bunch are closeted so maybe it tracks
