Wife has Scheuermann's and Levoscoliosis (spinal deformities) and spends a large (often majority) percentage of her time in agony. American doctors refuse to give her opioids because their idea of resolving the 'opioid crisis' is to not help anyone (because the DEA is up their asses for every script they write), and since most of them haven't heard of her issues, they shrug their shoulders and recommend physical therapy, for someone who can't get out of bed. Yes, her pain has driven us to the brink of divorce on a few occasions, but we are united in our revulsion at the American healthcare system and the politicians whose meddling has shaped it. I truly envy everyone who gets help for their mysterious or chronic illness in the United States. We're leaving next year.
