I got right on my soap box and sent Larry King (through CNN's web site) an irate email pointing out how the hype and hysteria is going to make millions of Americans suffer, because, as someone pointed out here, this is another nail in the coffin of pain medicine.
This has got to stop!
The most ridiculous two things that came out of the interviews.
1) They forced Kelly, at age 19, to go into rehab, even though they said they DID NOT KNOW if she is actually addicted to painkillers.
2) Pain killers stashed away in a baggie? About 500 of them, according to Oz. That sounds weird to me.
I am not sure how the English tabloid mentioned saw this drug deal go down. I thought she got them off the Internet because it's so easy to do.
What I personally think happened is:
Kelly's been ordering drugs online, through organizations that we here know exist. These are usually 100 per cent legal and require documentation.
Then, I think, she must have done an illegal drug deal, presumably for something a little stronger than a weak narcotic like hydro.
Then, fearing legal repercussions, they shipped their daughter out of harm's way and into rehab, which makes arrest harder, and will delay it.
Either that, or she was already in legal peril and she was instructed to go into rehab, and part of the deal was to go public and once again, demonize and villify pain meds, and hopefully get the general public to denounce narcotics and condemn the Internet for making them available.
Just some of the possibilities my admittedly conspiracy-theory-addled brain can come up with.
In the mean time more doctors will have popular hysteria and news stories to point to when they tell us to tough out the pain or take up yoga.
