  • Ah, you think you know better than doctors. Many people think this. Many have bad outcomes with nobody to blame but themselves.

    I don’t care if you use cannabis, heck I can legally prescribe you some if you need it. Doctors are not law enforcement. I don’t bat an eye if you tell em you use cocaine, I’ll still give you morphine after surgery but I need to know you used cocaine so I can avoid beta blockers. You’re paranoid we’re judging you but you’re wrong. You’re not as rare as you think. We know you’re in pain regardless of your drug use and treat you anyway.

    Only you, the patient, need to know that so you can avoid the interaction

    Many idiots who died in hospital thought that too, which is why we make you sign consent forms so that your family can no longer sue us for your stupid mistake.

    It’s like you have no idea how doctors work and have an outdated idea of them. Your loss.
