I wonder of this will be the cause of Dolores O'Riordan's death. She had back probs.
I have spine issues and you know better then to mix these death cocktails. They throw around "accidental" way too often.
Totally agree about the use of the term 'accidental' - had a relative die under general anaesthetic,
that was an accident. If I self-medicate with 3+ different types of opiods, fentanyl and benzos, is it
really an accident? If it's really pain you're taking it for, get medical professionals involved, don't just "up the dose" for goodness sake...
I think (perhaps) what also might feed into this is if you have have the sort of career where you really don't have to get up every day to satisfy a boss - like a pop star - you can choose just to stay in bed or wander round your mansion and get f**ked up, so they do.
Damn. That's a lot of prescriptions.
Yep - you'd think in the age of the interwebz it would be simple for a doc to check online to make sure his patient isn't already being prescribed something by someone else that may suggest contraindications. Just trusting the patient to be honest seems fraught with dangerous possibilities...
