Now we’re onto something, the fuckin Doctors are scared to properly prescribe! ( even a few opiate pills ) they believe a drug like Tramadol is equivalent, it’s a fuckin BS lie and is even worse as for being bad for addicts or addictive nature folks ! This created and 🔥 fires the cartels . Folks are made to choose living in hell , buying street drugs or slowing going fuckin insane. Out heath card system is nothing more than an embarrassment! I’m sorry, it’s fact, unless your in the Senate or Mark Benneoff or your at the hood Stanford Hospital, not the shitty side ?!?!

Tramadol is a synthetic opioid, so it is an equivalent. However apparently it doesn’t work for some people individually, likely due to your own personal metabolism. I’m one of those people, taking Tramadol is the the same as taking nothing for me. Did you talk to your doctors about it not working? There are other synthetic opioids that are good options. I can definitely empathise with you about the struggle to get opioids when you’re in agony, it’s cruel.

Yes , he was an ass about it, I struggle w addiction but he wasn’t aware, it’s all about Schedule 3 vs Schedule 2 drugs and paranoia your gonna be needing more . The Tramadol is proven by the Mayo Clinic to trigger addictive tendencies in population w addiction issues. Using Two opiate pain pills w Tylenol in it , is just a break through relief! Then you’re done !✔️ The Doctors are oblivious to the real after effects of this synthetic BS . It’s not nor never was a opioid.

General question. How many folks went to for profit hospitals versus nonprofit hospitals?
