- bilbo0s 7y agoThat's crazy. I've been a pretty high level athlete, and have had some pretty bad injuries, and never once was I prescribed a pain killer? Why is everything so non-uniform in this country? Because anyone with the resources to go to a doctor, you would think probably has insurance? So what is driving those differences? Just the doctors themselves?
