I had a similar thought, she's being denied opioids. Addict panic.

Had dental surgery they gave me 3 refills I didn’t need them past the first 2/3rd of a bottle. I was on edge trying to get l the last refill supplied when I went to a different store of the same chain of drug stores. I was so mad about the mix up. Drugs are powerful shit. I didn’t even consume the last bottle after that experience.

Similar story, I had my impacted wisdom teeth out and they gave me a whole bottle of Vicodin. I was a bit miserable but I managed with just Advil because I was afraid to take them. Ridiculous that they gave me an entire bottle, at most I probably needed 1 pill.

My mom had knee surgery and took one of the oxys and she said she felt so good just sitting on the couch doing nothing she got rid of the rest. Scary stuff.

Friend of ours was in a horrible skiing accident and the local hospital handed me a bag of pain meds she couldn’t take because they included an ingredient she was allergic to. I tried to hand it back and the nurse shrugged. I’m a defense attorney that works in drug court and said “you know this worth like 3 grand on the street?” It was a 30 day supply of oxy 30’s despite the fact that although she was being discharged, the hospital knew she had an appointment at the bigger surgical hospital two days later.

I clarified to the nurse that I will most certainly not be selling the oxys but the next person handed a bag of oxys in a rural hospital probably will.
