Bloomberg restricts painkillers in city hospitals

Bloomberg restricts painkillers in city hospitals. “Supposing it is really true you didn’t get enough painkillers and you did have to suffer a little bit,” said New York’s leader. “The other side of the coin is people are dying and there’s nothing perfect.” In other words, so what if you suffer. The Führer wants to keep pills away from drug abusers and that’s all that matters.

  • What an Fing moron!!!! He should have NO SAY in the medical treatment of ANYONE. And while there will always be frequent flyers (people who go to the ER to scam for drugs, or sometimes just attention) the VAST majority of visitors tothe ER are legitimately ill, and frequently have delayed treatment to the point they are REALLY REALLY ill, because they don't have a doctor, they can't afford a doctor, they don't generally trust doctors, or arre illegals. Pain meds goven to someone in pain does not cause a "high" like it does for the recreational user. They legitimately NEED the medication, even if only to get some sleep and allow their bodies to heal. Where is the ACLU? It certainly is a violation of Human Rights to tell someone "s you're in pain? Too bad. Just suffer." Limit the number of pills given at the ER, give a scrip for additional if the doc thinks they will need longer term care, and try to get them to follw up in the clinic in a few days.

    • Packing material, gun powder and a cannon ball are occasionally found inside cemented cannons when they are X-rayed during routine cleaning. A spokeswoman for the Central Park conservancy had no comment.

      Perhaps these people should have been trained in weaponry before they are allowed to handle them.

    • The fact that there does not seem to be a peep of protest from New Yorkers is astonishing to me. Have they been so thoroughly cowed?

  • Michael Bloomberg is the worst politician in America today. He's worse then Obama, Biden, Moonbeam, all of them. He clearly has the most authoritarian streak of them all. Plus, anyone man who is like, 5 foot nothing that wants control everything & is willing to throw his wieght around to do it, should never be taken lightly. The sooner this pint size prick is out of politics, the better.

  • There has to be some point (soon) where collectively, decent Americans are going to say, "GO F*** YOURSELF".

  • The scary thing is that these 'elected officials' are voted in by people who walk among us - it's time to turn the tide before it's too late!!

  • It appears doomberg is now on the death panels in NY. If he feels that pain pills are to be reduced, so be it. Let us start with he and his followers. They all need to take the yellow pill.

  • Yet here in D-land, I get class 2 or 3 opiates (which I hate, and therefore rarely take) prescribed for my back pain. Yet I have to search myself for a person who will actually treat the cause, instead of the symptoms.

    Fortuitously, I managed to find a chiropractor who was trained in America who practices not too far from where I live. If you think THAT'S a big deal, research the qualifications needed for a German chiropractor as opposed to those for an American chiropractor.

    • When I first went to the VA, I told my Dr that I needed anti inflammatorys for my neck pain. She told me I couldn't have them until she ran 3 liver panels, 3 months apart for each. Which meant I would have to wait a minimum of 6 months for my meds!
      She did offer me Vicodin or Oxycontin instead, and I told her no. Vicodin does nothing for me, and I wasn't interested in trying opiates. I took over the counter naproxin until she agreed to let me have the ones I was used to.
      Amazing the stupidity of bureaucrats!

      • Mexico's got your anti-inflammatorys.

        I used to get Erythromycin there, which is difficult to get a doctor's prescription for here. Now, suddenly, you have to get a prescription for it in Mexico also. So I buy it at the local feed store, specifically labeled "Not for human consumption." Same stuff, no difference at all. Just a lot cheaper.

  • Until Bloomtard can produce a medical degree I would suggest that the doctors who do have one, to tell him to pound sand in the orifice of his choice.
    Hopefully this Hiterite will perish in excruciating pain.

  • Thank you Mayor Mussolini for giving us a preview of Obama Care where medical decisions are political decisions.
