sad way to start a new year ( OT )

Post by dutchhunter »

this last two weeks have been crazy i lost to buddys both 33 and 34 years old to drug over doses . both were doing a lot of pills and i guess it cought up with them . last week we had a funeral for the first one and to watch as his two boys 12 and 6 years old had to lay flowers on there dads coffen was heart breaking . the second died this past saturday he was 34 and had two girls both teens .what is the world coming to . the pills are just getting to be the drug of choice these days and untill the govement stops them it is not going to get any better . we hear of drug stores getting rob almost every other day across the country .and it is costing the health care system billions of dollers a year . i spoke with my family doctor about it and he says it is to easy for the doctors just to write out scrips for pills then to sedn people for other treatments for pain .this stuff is poison and to easy for people to get and to easy to hide . what next. just had to get this off my chest as i am very disgusted with the whole system what can we do DUTCH

Sorry to hear about your friends, Dutch. :( Addiction is a rough battle. I have friends who have been there and it can be a long hard road back. Resources are scarce to deal properly with the often very complex issues. So very sad that your friends didn't make it. Will say a prayer for those left behind.

My deepest sympathies Dutch I know how you feel. My best friend of 36 years took his own life 9 days before Christmas. It is certainly a trying time.

Dutch, So sad to hear, and to think they choose that route to go. I recently lost my father to a heart attack, out on the farm he loved. I think the Drs hold a lot of fault for people getting on these drugs, but most of these people are adults and they have a choose of taking the drug, Ask questions about the meds they put you on. Very seldem do we hear of a Doctor holding a gun to a patients head, telling him or her to take the meds. GOD says he will never put on a person more then he can bare. pain included and I have been in some pain before. Most of the time with my pain from a bad injury, I pass out.lol I am kinda a wimp.lol But I do know what you mean, and I dont know who should control it, other than the people themselves.

Sorry to hear about your friends. I'm going this week to buy an old friends Exocet. His wife asked me if I wanted it. He died a year ago last October, OD'd on oxycontin or one of the similar type drugs. He was 50 and had severe back problems. He had 3 or 4 doctors to get enough of the pills. He left a wife and college age son, but fortunately they are set financially. This scenario happens all too often these days. I think I'll just stay straight. Gary

Sorry to hear that Dutch. Its a really sad, but all to common story these days.
I saw a program recently on pharmaceutical company insentives in the USA. Thousands of doctors and thier families in the US are given Cars, Dream holidays, and all sorts of incentives to push that particular companies drugs onto patients. It's in the doctors interest to pump out drugs for everything that they can. It's a serious conflict of interest, but it does seem to be legal over there. I couldn't understand how the government could know but accept this type of practice, and do nothing about it.

I lost my younger 36 year old brother to drugs earlier this year. Not perscription in this case.
I don't think they're never really over it. Every day is a struggle to stay off the stuff, even if they've been dry for years and seem to be going well in everyone elses eyes. It only takes a weak moment in thier life, or a reunion with an old druggy mate and the battle can be lost. The sadest thing are the broken family and friends left behind. All wishing they had of done more, or should have seen it coming. The hardest for me, was listening to mum, trying to explain to Sara (his blind 8 year old daughter ) that daddys in heaven now. She couldn't understand why she can't visit him anymore.
That broke me !!!

Sorry to hear about this Ed. Where I used to work, I saw many reports on the drugs being in the possession of individuals or being taken by individuals for the sake of selling them on the street. The street value of those pills is incredible, which is a clear sign that the drugs themselves are very potent and being issued without much thought by physicians who seem to be seeking a simple fix to a problem.
