> The reasons we have acetaminophen with all its risks is because there is nothing better. There is, but we care more about stopping people getting high than we care about stopping people from being in pain. My wife had an outpatient surgery, and had muscle spasms from incisions. She was SCREAMING in pain. She was brought in by ambulance (who did not give her anything - sort of understandable because sometimes you need to have the patient identify the pain). Despite continuing to SCREAM in pain, the nurse refused to do anything or contact the doctor, because she was sure she was a druggy just faking it. It took all my energy not to start throwing punches. (A doctor finally got her pain meds.) Our society is unjust.
