My experience in the past few years is that they are already extremely restricted. I had a fairly major surgery after which I was not given narcotics, and in hindsight, I would have demanded them, because whatever they did give me did not work.
When you have surgery, you're supposed to have pain.
It's always been a tradeoff, and that's something that lay people seem to have no understanding of. Do I suffer with my problem or treat it?
The fact that people are demanding pain free medical experiences is the problem.
There are no tools that deliver pain free surgery. The closest thing that humans can currently do is drug you out. That's the problem. Pain and pleasure are so primal, that they're probably isn't any way to separate them. Even in principle.
I got offered way more drugs than I needed or wanted in every (more than office visit) surgery I've ever had.
There is nothing wrong with giving somebody a week's worth of narcotics to help them recover from surgery. It takes more than a week to become addicted.
For certain people, a single self administered dose is all it takes. That's not the point though.
I absolutely said that narcotics for acute surgical pain are ok.
However, if you got a whole week of narcotics for outpatient surgery, your physician is part of the problem.
