“FACE OF AN ADDICT” 1968 DRUG ABUSE & ADDICTION AMONG MEDICAL DOCTORS EDUCATIONAL FILM XD46574

[@Nomorewarsforisrael]

“Three a.m. and despite two pentobarbitals I’m tense and awake”, that’s truly when you know you’re an addict.

[@ArcticChonk]

Literally anyone can become an addict under the right (wrong) circumstances.

[@postal_the_clown]

The curtains behind the narrator @24:49... We had the same ones in our house in 1962. That's the kind of passive abuse my parents practiced.

[@martytruelove5026]

The car he was driving looked like a 1962 also

[@thomasgary1219]

To all the folks commenting saying addiction is a choice. I can totally understand how you feel that way. The truth is nobody ever wakes up one day and just decides they want to become a drug addict. When you are in a car wreck and have to have surgery to repair the damage done in the wreck and you are prescribed opiates for pain, you take them so you won't be in agony, and then you realize one day that you are hooked, that is not a choice. Don't be so quick to judge others who become addicted to drugs until you have walked in that person's shoes. I used to feel the same way, until I was in a terrible car wreck that changed my life FOREVER. Try having some compassion for these poor souls who's only sin was being in an accident or getting sick. NO ONE ever wants to become an addict.

[@diablo666541]

What they don't understand is all it takes is one bad car accident one spinal injury or a compound fracture is all it would take to turn you into an attic it's a matter of pain and relieval

[@thedavesiknow4598]

[@Amstaff-adventures]

❤❤❤I am one who was prescribed oxycontin by my Dr over 10 years ago now and he said they were non addictive and had no side effect and he could make me feel good too. He pit me up to 150mg twice a a day with 250 5 mg Endone as well per month. Yhrn I moved and they did not want to prescribe me them and I was left and needed to get help and the hospital looked at me like a junkie but I did not know what withdrawals were Fast forward till today I am still on otp.

So, no im not lying.

[@BlueHaze7024]

The doctor drives a 1959 Ford and none of the cars look much newer so this looks to have been filmed in the early 1960's instead of 1968. Still an interesting time capsule. Thanks for posting.

[@beau1112]

Same thing with most of their movies the time period is wrong can tell via the cars good eyes I wouldn't of noticed so +1 score to the car dudes????? Lol We need yall for future generations

[@m.woodsrobinson9244]

[@tomtroy3792]

Back in them days you could smoke in the grocery store and restaurants almost anywhere now you can't even smoke in the park

[@beau1112]

@@tomtroy3792 yeah I used to relax at a gazebo in the middle of a very very small town everyone knew each other maybe a bit to much. But I'd go there to smoke and just chill instead of just smoking at home. Check out the good view and relax. But last time I went out 3 fake cops with fake badges and were probably on meth all stormed me and wanted to arrest me and my 2 friends. They took pictures of us on screen and made us look at the camera. One of them shined a bright ass light on us and just stormed in. One of them freaked out and said before anything happened "ONE OF THEM IS RUNNING" Nobody ran anywhere he was tripping. He ran and did like 3 laps around the whole town on foot and another one said "I saw him throw a sawed off shotgun in the bush" And they Literally looked for about a hour in this strip of bushes and I helped him look for this said sawn off that didn't exist. They just wanted my weed and didn't get anything. Keep in mind it's probably about midnight then to. They were literally tripping. Idk what was wrong with them but they had like a demon in them or something they weren't acting like a normal human being. Very strange behavior and seeing things. Yeah I feel so protected... They didn't search us they just took photos of us and we went home and yeah just a weird weird experience. Never went back to that gazebo again They ruined it. Here's the law based on taking pictures of suspects in my state 21.15 - Invasive Visual Recording makes it a crime for you to photograph, record, or transmit the following without consent: The intimate area of another individual, if they believed the public would not see that area.

[@rapman5363]

In years past this was a career ender ,however in modern times with the treatment models available today the medical professionals who become addicted fare better than in years past.

[@lobo1928]

on the way around the doctor had more power back then way more people look the other way I think it was more of a career and nowadays

[@wesmcgee1648]

I was a cop for 25 years, and got to know a lot of ER docs. Most had practices and worked the ER on a rotating basis. But there were a couple that only did ER work. These guys I quickly discovered from the nurses, were addicted to morphine. One wound up losing his ticket and the other committed suicide.

[@alanapril4643]

It all started with me when I was a child feeling euphoria for the first time from an antihistamine. I kept chasing that euphoria for most of my life by graduating to harder drugs. Mainly opiates and muscle relaxers.

Every time I’ve been hospitalized, I ALWAYS ask for 50mg of Benadryl- wow- forget painkillers- what a rush! I even bought a banana bag recently for $510 with 50mg of diphenhydramine and 30mg Toradol at the local urgent care facility. Love & Light from Miami Shores🦚 Stay safe mates✌🏼🌎 Have a care for one another✨

[@katherinea.williams3044]

⁠​⁠@@519Chawk420There’s a pattern, but it IS subjective. I treat myself to a banana bag every few months and I ALWAYS request 50mg of diphenhydramine (IV Benadryl)- and I get it, as I’m paying $510 per bag. It hits in a nanosecond and it’s gotten me high as a kite; more so than IV morphine when I had surgery. I LOVE that burn going up my veins- I’ve never used IV drugs either, only at the urgent care or hospital. My point is, as the original commenter wrote, that can absolutely happen, but it’s also highly subjective. Love & Light from Miami Shores🦚 Stay safe mate✌🏼🌎 Have a care for one another🫧🖤

Are you with me Doctor Wu

[@wesmcgee1648]

Impairment among physicians has always been a very hush hush subject. I was a supervisor in narcotics division during part of my police career. I was astounded at the number of drug using doctors. Most kept their careers and got straight. Some overdosed and died. I never arrested a doctor for drug diversion because, according to our D.A., they paid a high enough price. I wonder how it is now.

[@mercoid]

The addicted doctor’s patients can pay a high price as well. But I guess that doesn’t matter to a DA.

[@Toasty_88]

That is pretty messed up. Sad that they would treat doctors somehow different to anyone else in addiction. As if doctors somehow pay a higher price then anyone else in addiction so they deserve to be let off? Addiction does not discriminate between professions or social status... Man people were stupid back then. Hopefully people who make those decisions are smarter then that today. The rampant diversion that went on for decades unpunished is what made it possible for Purdue to flood the streets with Oxycontin via pill mills. If only they had taken it seriously maybe this opioid crisis would not be nearly as bad. I remember watching documentary about the pill mills and how the DEA had a hell of a time trying to arrest these pill mill doctors because for whatever reason no one wanted to go after a doctor even though they were the biggest illegal drug dealers in the area and in some cases the state.
