Re: Re: OxyContin Problem- Not That Complicated

[Guest guest]

Not a problem, Lucy. It's such an important topic, it deserves extra

exposure. I hope everyone reads it.

The one physician whom they quoted as saying pain was overtreated, Dr.

Hamic, is off her rocker! Also, I would like to ask her what

in the world she means by " benign pain. "

The emphasis of the article is right on. I don't have much sympathy for

those who are using these drugs illegally. Furthermore, the misguided

actions of relatively few should not impact the much larger numbers of

those who are in pain who need and will use narcotics legally and

safely.

Thanks for posting this.

but I am tired, so might just be losing my mind. If anybody sees it,

please send it home.

Thanks, MomBom
