Counties in eastern Kentucky lead the nation in terms of grams of narcotic pain medications distributed on a per capita basis, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's Web site at www.dea.gov




I have to take issue with somethings in this report. I have lived in Kentucky before. I just dont understand where people get this idea that pain meds are being so freely handed out by the doctors there. Indeed, it had to be one of the stritest places I have ever been to in my entire life!!

Several times I had to go to the ER for kidney stones, and almost every time they acted like I was a criminal and almost never gave me a narcotic pain shot, let alone write a prescription for any such meds -despite kidney stones that were CLEARLY visable with scans and my medical history.

The doctors there seem too paranoid to prescribe narcotics for ANY reason it seemed. I dont understand how that area can have such a reputation still. It's got to be about the single worst place in the country to be in the need of pain medication, as the doctors there seem extremely leary to prescribe any narcotics for any reason.

Im NOT surprised to hear of anyone in Kentucky needing to drive for hours to find an understanding doctor. For the life of me I cant understand where the goverment gets their statistics from. It seems to me that Kentucky is the worst place in the country to find an understanding doctor. (not dising the people or place, ' just the medical situation there)
