You Can’t Handle The Tooth
A few days ago you needed triple root-canal surgery, and despite your codeine-enhanced prescription you’re still in agony. However, your dentist has refused to prescribe anything stronger! You’re now back for your check-up, wondering if it’s time to think about relaxing the regulations around the most powerful painkillers.
I’ve encountered with many choices
1. Dr. Sophie Looney, your personal dental care professional, sits down on a stool next to you, and lowers the back of the chair to the horizontal. “Open, please? Good. I’m sorry Leader, but you know the drill. Easier access to narcotics will only lead to more widespread abuse. In reality, many pain ‘patients’ are just junkies looking for a fix. The primary purpose of medicine is to cure disease, not to enable addiction! Instead, consider adjusting healthcare policy to stress cognitive behavioral therapy, acupuncture, and other non-pharmacological interventions. Spit, please?”
2. “Ummm**HUUURP**..uh, yuck,” says Dental Nurse Kirby Winters, who you know is also a spokesperson for Patients Against Interdicting Narcotics, while emptying a recently-soiled emesis dish into the medical waste sluice. “Yeah, that’s precisely the wrong thing to do. Insufficient treatment of pain is very common, especially among women, ethnic minorities, and the poor. The elderly are also at risk, since many wrongly think that pain is just a ‘normal’ part of aging. The most severe cases can even drive people to suicide! Medicine should focus on quality of life, not just curing disease. Do the right thing, and ease restrictions on powerful painkillers now!”
3. While you’re still supine, a strange pale-skinned man shines the dentist’s lamp directly into your eyes and begins loading a large metal syringe from an unmarked vial. “I have your solution right here, dear leader. Why not add these powerful painkillers to the water supply, under the banner of a new healthcare initiative aimed at relieving stress and improving quality of life? Then you can use mass addiction to control the population! A particular district doesn’t like your new absolutist platform? Just reduce their ‘pain relief’ until they do! Imagine the whole populace desperately begging you for another hit!”
