So he asks me, casually, like he was asking me for the time
"Can you give me some vicodin?"
"NOooooo!" I think to myself ......but I actually say "What? huh?"
"Can I have some vicodin? I get these aches." He proceeds to tell me how he had some old vicodin at home or was it that a neighbor gave him some old vicodin? Or did his neighbor steal his vicodin? Either way, he tried the stuff and wow....... "It really relaxed me."
"No shit it relaxed you" I think to myself.
"So can I have some?" he inquired again
"Wait a minute. What kind of pain are you having? Where is the pain?"
I find out it's more musculoskeletal strain/aches. That kind of pain I rather not treat with vicodin. Sorry Sir. I can give you some high dose Ibuprofen and some Flexeril which will help those aches AND not make you addicted to some narcotic.
I am not a narcotic pez dispenser!!
