Oh yeah. Don't get me wrong. I did as well.

I don't know about your area of Canada, but on the East Coast, my experience has been, "We're not too sure, but you said you have pain, here's another prescription for Endocet!".

I've now had 3 prescriptions for the stuff, as well as a 'take home' bottle from the hospital to 'tide me over' till I started IVSM. All 3 scripts came from walk in clinic doctors.

Then there was neurologist who 'examined' me for 5 minutes, and took home his pretty paycheque after saying "stress".

At least 1 of the various doctors I saw during my year pre-diagnosis was nice enough to send me for xrays.

If that's not enough... the Carbamazepine prescription came from a doctor I had seen 1 time earlier at the walk in clinic, who I was then seeing at the hospital. He prescribed me the Endocet x2 of 3 scripts I had.

I digress. I could go on all day about this.
