Ugh, I hate that presumption among healthcare professionals. We're not really in pain, we're all just dRuG sEeKiNg.
I mean, I came to you with a medical problem, which is often solved by or improved by medication, so I guess technically, yes?
And if I'm in such pain that I require narcotics, wouldn't you rather I see a doctor and take it with their supervision, or that I go find a dealer on the street?
I understand there are some people with addiction issues, but allowing a patient (especially one with no drug abuse history) to suffer, on the off chance they might use pain killers for fun, is so fucked up. I already have to jump through hoops to get ADHD medication for the same reason. It seems that in the US, you're assumed to be addicted by default.
I get treated like a drug seeker even when I'm openly allergic to opiates. And yeah the adhd meds are such a pain in the ass to the point of counterproductivity
