Comment on Why do doctors not seem to give a fuck about pain? Is this just an American doctor thing, or is it universal?

If I give them back the leftover oxy from what they sent home with me, would that help in getting any potential “drug seeker” notes removed?

I don’t even get how I’d abuse the stuff. It just makes me sleepy. Like - marijuana is fun because it makes food taste good and helps me think more creatively. Opioids take away intense pain just enough for me to sleep it off. I ended up throwing away most of a bottle of Percocet after I got my top surgery because I’d rather have a little breakthrough pain on Tylenol and be cogent than sleep 18 hours a day.
