Sounds like American healthcare to me.

You either cope, and probably cause irreparable hard to yourself, or you go to the clinic or ER and get labeled a drug seeker.

fun fact, when you mix sinus medicines your blood can test positive for methamphetamine.

I know this because I am now on a list of meth addicts at every networked hospital after an er visit while treating a sinus infection.

they took four blood tests and "confirmed" I was high on meth and refused to treat why I was there in the first place because to them, I was high as shit. even though I was literally directing people around blood on the floor and calling for housekeeping to come clean up the blood on the floor because the nurse refused to do her fucking job.

I asked to be removed from the list as well as have the false test results removed from my history and was told that's impossible.

doesn't technology make things so much better? Now the best pain meds I'll ever get at a hospital will be extra strength Tylenol. you know, that shit I have at home they charge me $400 a pill for.

Americans don't call it paracematol, they call it acetaminophen or just tylenol. This is from the UK.

Oh, shit! Guy OD'd on acetaminophen? Yeah, that is scary. My wife had a friend that attempted a self KO with Tylenol for some reason. What a horrible way to go. She is so lucky she didn't need a transplant.
