Recently (I know - it's just a soap opera) "Days of Our
Lives" has been doing a storyline on John Black, a character who is in severe pain due to an accident.
His doctor, Lexie, sends him home from the hospital to "gut it out" with only aspirin. Clearly, the character is in awful pain, and I don't understand how even a soap opera can be so heartless as to send home their #1 character in so much pain - or how they could portray a very nice doctor as so heartless. Has anyone else been irritated by this storyline?

After all, it does reach millions of people in the USA and overseas.

Now they are going in the worst possible direction - drug addiction because of chronic severe pain. How about sending John home with some pills - at least?
