"I have been talking with physicians in the ER; which include cardiologists, internists, neurologists, orthopaedists, and pediatricians."
I'm sure they all have opinions; and they're worth about as much as you had to pay for them.
I should have had the fortune of living in the 19th century, before opiophobia set in on the medical profession; back then, you could buy as much opium as you needed at any corner druggist's shop. That's really the way it ought to be now, but our governments labor under the charming--but very mistaken--idea that they can battle the drug problem by restricting access to substances. The only reason I don't buy stuff on the street is because of all the additives and purity concerns. Even those misgivings may eventually fade, however.
