Update: Reg's surgery is complete and he is fine. He will be released tomorrow. He asked for a high dose of tylenol instead of opioid painkillers

I don't accept the premise that the odds of people getting the condition should be the sole factor.

If it's better for more people and cheaper than treating the condition, then mandating its provision by the system should be fair game. cf vaccines.

That's an argument for single payer and separate from insurance.

The stupid man takes whatever the doctor prescribes. The shortsighted man takes whatever he needs. The wise man gets a prescription for percs filled, uses tylenol instead and has a hell of a party once he feels better.

No, it's not.

You are talking about standard of care. This is separate from "How do you pay for it."

[notyoueither]

I'm talking about the system.

If you have a preventative treatment that costs less than treating the condition over the population, but is resisted by some deliverers for some ideological reason, it is open season for regulation to mandate the provision of that care.

I don't give a **** how it is paid for especially since it more than pays for itself! I give a **** for ethics.

currently feels like I've done two million too many situps

also hc I knew SB was joking, and I laughed (**** you sb that hurt)

gonna see how long I can go without narcotics. so long as i sit still it's manageable, but if I move my abdomen it hurts like a ***** and a half

also kh you are wrong opiates are terrible they make me feel like **** they are not a party. And moreover they are really ****ing scary, I don't want to be a junkie.

[Kidlicious]

Good for you reg. Also, that sucks. I had that as a kid but they never did the surgery.

[regexcellent]

What is the correct way to get a nurse's phone number? This is important

(only half joking)

[Aeson]

"Who should I call if these meds give me side effects ... like a 4 hour erection?" (Only 99% joking!)

[Lorizael]

If she was there for the surgery: "Hey, baby, you've seen my insides, how's about I get to see yours?"

(You shouldn't take my advice on women.)

[Kidlicious]

When she's giving you a sponge bath say shrinkage is because water is cold.

Very happy you're okay, reg!
