Stupid Arguments on a Stupid Day, Part III

I understand a physician's reasonable caution when prescribing opioids. I plan on having an honest conversation with my GP where I tell him that if he doesn't believe that I have significant pain that needs to be treated, that if he thinks I'm exaggerating in any way, just don't fucking prescribe the pills instead of trying to emotionally manipulate me into feeling guilty about being sick. My illness doesn't check in with my doctor every morning, and ask, "Is this okay? Because if not, I can scale it back." My pain doesn't depend on his schedule, his comfortable level with prescribing opioids.

Just don't prescribe the fucking pills, I don't want to listen to you whine about that shit.
