Im not spending the time breaking all of that down.
"as someone who has had 10/10 atraumatic back pain off and on forever" -- Do you notice how I put " " around my 10/10. Those are quotes, where "air quotes" go when they land. I have three slipped disks and five Fxs that didn't heal right. I haven't not been in pain, to some degree, since I hit the pavement ten years ago. There's real pain and ******** pain. The distinction when presented textually is the presence, or absence, of quotes.
and you filed a formal complaint with his agency... -- Yes, I did. It was not well-received, being that I was a remote former employee of his current employer and employed by a commercial competitor.
if you didn't, then you seem to be a keyboard commando... -- So yeah, I guess you can eat a fat one right there bud.
if I had been in your position, I would have driven back to the station... -- Blah, blah, blah. Sure you would have. And I bet you'd still have done exactly that if you were a basic that had been hired by that company about a week ago and was down to the decision between rent and food. I'm sure you would have stormed right into the bosses office and like a biggun in the locker room just flat out said "Fire that guy who has worked here for twenty years because I think he's a hack(and all my internet friends think so too...). I chose to keep my job and let him carry his own water; so I bow at your altar of resoluteness. I Am Not Worthy.
I don't quite recall which argument it was that lit the fire under your backside about me, but if you're going to spend the time busting my apple bag on every post, would you at the very least do me the courtesy of reading for comprehension and offering rebuttals that are more than hollow, self aggrandizing ethics hypothetical.

Since there seems to be a comprehension issue, I reread my post. I must be missing the part where I wrote that I give every patient 100 of fent before I get their name. I looked all over, but the part where I wrote a nine year old with a skinned knee will need to be intubated by the time I'm done medicating her.
Obviously there are patients that don't need or want narcotic analgesics. Those people aren't going to get them from me, and shouldn't from anybody else. The people I'm talking about, partly in subtext anybody with access to narcotics and sharp things should be able to follow without a Frommers guide, are the people that should get narcotics, maybe ask for them(and maybe they don't) but don't get them because of a BS excuse.
The point I'm trying to make is that some medics are very proud of the fact that their bar for narcs is so high they never reach it and I think it should be legal to take those people out back and kick them until they piss blood and BLS em to the hospital. We shouldnt run around dosing everybody we see, but I'm not hard to impress. If someone needs to see broken bones and scorched flesh to make a patient feel better, I'm fine with the fact we just aren't going to get along.
