What if a Tolerant Drug Addict or Sub Patient Needs Emergency Care?

[euphoricontin17]

Hey all, I have had this topic on my mind for a while now. What would happen if say someone who has a habit of 1-2 bundles a day or 300-400mg oxy a day got into a bad car wreck and needed to be taken to the hospital? If the person was just screaming they're lungs off in pain and the measly 10mg morphine clearly didn't do shit, would they give him more? Like if you say " I am highly tolerant to narcotics, I am a heroin/oxy/insert doc addict " will they just let you suffer or what. I'm really not too sure on this one because what If you just did not stop screaming. Like I'm sure you all know what unbearable, intolerable pain feels like, where any action or inaction is unbearable. What if it was pain like this and you just didn't shut up? What would they do? sedate you? Haha probably so they would contribute to your addiction! I think socitety as a whole has their prioritys REALLY fucked up. Duckfeet said it best when he said " I know I'll be trying to hustle up a shot of dilaudid on my deathbed, but they'll probably give me tramadol so they don't turn me into an ADDICT! " What I mean here is that as bad and " detrimental " as addiction is, it should take second place to pain, and fucking life for that matter. People need to see that YES, you should not take pain meds abusingly if you are an addict and you can easily make that choice, BUT when someone is writhing in pain or cannot live a normal life without them, the addiction " status " should take the backseat. I'd MUCH rather be an addict who's not in extreme pain than a sober person who is. You see what I mean? Food for thought...
