We human being are not perfect.. but out society seems to expect “perfection” out of those with a higher public profile. Right now the public eye is focused on the NFL and its “abuse scandal”…
First we have two different players that basically INDUCED PAIN on another person… yes… it is not right… but.. NO ONE DIED !!! the reactions to their actions is it OVER THE TOP ?
One player was suspended indefinitely and the other may be charged with a FELONY…
the singer Rihanna – who is known as a person of abuse from a boyfriend… had her scheduled song/video to open the NFL game of the week.. PULLED/CANCELLED … because of her previous abuse and the image that it was perceived to portray.
Yes there should be some punishment…but.. has the political correctness of our society trying to homogenize the action of all within the society gone totally off the rails ? Are we trying to prove that the bell curve can be flattened ?
I spend 12 yrs in parochial school in a time that the majority of the teachers were no nonsense NUNS… and the coaches at the high school level made the nuns look benign.. it was not unusual that someone had a “board meeting”… the paddle in the coach’s hand.. had a meeting with your ass.. I can confirm from personal experience that those paddles left sizable bruises and there was substantial pain involved… NO ONE DIED …but cooperation by me and my fellow students tend to improve.
Compare that to people who are suppose to be pillars of the community (prescribers & Pharmacists)… who are knowingly deviating from standard of care and best practices when it comes to chronic pain pts… wanting to reduce their opiates doses – causing increased pain.. and or blatantly refusing to fill a legal/on time/medically necessary Rx and throwing the pt into withdrawal.. WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES OR PUNISHMENT to those “pillars of the community”.
Maybe those in the community that are seeing this abuse of pts at the pharmacy… don’t comprehend what they are seeing taking place… or you know the employer is not going to “leak” the video to the media… in fact, the prescriber’s interaction with the pt is one-on-one without any recording taking place…

Simple, everyone has cell phones that record these days…start recording folks what happens when you get refused and demand why…get enough of those and give them to the media and see what happens.
