Flippie,
The story I heard was a patient came out of the office and drove into a mother and her kids crossing the street. They were soon shut down.
Mind you, I read this some where on a forum ,so don't know if it's true.
Sounds like Urban legend to me. It was in the UK and had a newspaper article attached. -Lucky

At one time I thought people whom took a lot of pain killers were full of [censored]] and just trying to get high. Then I fell off a building at work and I realize that if you are trying to get high there are easier ways to do it than to go through ALL the bullshit wuth the doctors! I am in severe pain now and cannot hardly get out of bed in the morning and a lot of times wish that I had not woke up in the first place because when I sleep I do not have to feel it. I recently considerd going to the ER and asking them if they could just put me out for about 3 days just so I can get some good sleep. I told a friend of mine and she said I was nuts! Also " they " the doctors tell me that I am fine and do not need anything. So, I am forced to get them other ways and can only afford a few because it is just too expensive. That is why I joimed this site. To see if I can find a better way to live. As if the pain was not enough I have to add stress to life as well. God bless ALL of you and if you can give me some tips on a " good " doctor it would be much appreciated.

Hard to believe that last part was actualy advice to doctors.

Lucky it was great of you to respond to flippie. I was just wondering if you noticed flippie hasn't been back here at DB since 2005 unless they came under another login. Sorta like debating with a ghost. I find it interesting when some of these old threads get resurrected. Mostly by newbies not watching the date stamp. I don't mind it except when replying back to someone who obviously won't respond. I would love to read some of your thoughts discussing this point and how it relates to you in your life.

LOL.

I did this on a thread just three days ago. I was just browsing looking at differences in OP's in the past five years and ended up posting a reply to a five year old thread.
