^ regarding Oxycodone & similar....
I had to get a medical check in early 2011 before I could go to a site to start my work... The medical office was near site in a "Hill Billy" area. There was a sign on the front desk, and in the doctors rooms which read something like, "we do not prescribe any drugs of dependance, nor any opiate based drugs, or synthetic opiates".
Basically, you'll have to push sh!t up hill to get "opiates & derivatives" off most doctors, but surgeons can dish that stuff up "Willy Nilly" !!
Hmmm, OBCT, I'm sure you have something funny to say about "Hill Billy", and "Willy Nilly".... A great pair of names for brothers hey!
