Prescription medication can be a wonderful thing, IF used properly. I cannot begin to tell you where I would be without mine. But, when people start abusing them, they are on a fast track to danger. Doctors cannot follow every, single patient around 24/7 to make sure they follow directions. They cannot always stop them from getting multiple 'scrpits from other doctors. It happens.

The temptation to abuse is great. Take one or two "extra" and you are high as a kite and feeling REALLY good. Unfortunately, that temptation is far too great in some and we see the results. It is easy to blame a doctor but that is just so unfair. I do not know where I would be without mine! If he were somehow hampered by some "knee-jerk" reaction to this serious abuse problem among celebrities, I would suffer tremendously, as would millions of sick and injured people that do the right thing with their medications. |

Got up this morning and saw this on the news.. Looks like we lost another one to 'cardiac arrest' aka 'caused by addiction to perscription drugs'.. Anyone else think these so called 'doctors' providing this shit to all these actors/musicians should start to be held accountable for their actions? I mean really, 32! 32 years old and dead. Because some hanger-on doctor couldn't say no to persctibing way too many tablets. What is this world coming to? I'm now officially scared for the future of so many promising people.
RIP Brittany Murphy, whilst not one of my favorite actresses, you were way, way too young to die in this way. God be with your family and rest your soul.
