I sincerely hope that Rush gets adequate pain relief during his illness.

Last edited Tue Feb 4, 2020, 11:06 AM - Edit history (1)

I don't know if he WILL, given that opiates are now so limited, and thousands, if not millions, no longer get adequate pain relief for their conditions.

How did that happen?

Oh yeah.....


On edit: because some of the responses seem to have missed my point: Rush was on the leading edge of the Oxy abuse scandal that ultimately ended with the restriction on people being able to get adequate pain relief. Another one of his many, many crimes against humanity. I guess I should not have tried to make the point subtly. If he suffers, he can thank his former self....

But if not maybe he’ll try cannabis for pain and get a little chill on his beliefs.

Yeah now that I’m off the floor...no one should have to suffer in pain I hope he can get the correct help.

The damage he's done to this country warrants him suffering. He never cared about others' sufferring, why should we care about his?

“That is a myth. That has been disproven at the World Health Organization and the report was suppressed,” Limbaugh claimed. “There is no fatality whatsoever. There’s no even major sickness component associated with secondhand smoke. It may irritate you, and you may not like it, but it will not make you sick, and it will not kill you.”

******************************************************


“Earlier you were saying about smoking, that people ought to be thankful that there are smokers, because the money gotten from smoking helps to fund all these child programs and everything?” a caller told Limbaugh. “But that’s like saying I’m glad that there’s bumper accidents because then auto mechanics would still have jobs and it improves the economy.”

“Smokers aren’t killing anybody,” the conservative host added.

“Except themselves,” the caller noted.

“Yeah, but how long does it take?” Limbaugh scoffed. “There’s no even major sickness component associated with secondhand smoke. It may irritate you, and you may not like it, but it will not make you sick, and it will not kill you.”

“Firsthand smoke takes 50 years to kill people, if it does,” he continued. “Not everybody that smokes gets cancer. Now, it’s true that everybody who smokes dies, but so does everyone who eats carrots.”

************************************************************

“I would like a medal for smoking cigars,” Limbaugh quipped on the show — which is titled “We Really Should Thank Smokers” on his Web site.

He also ridiculed the mounds of research tying secondhand smoke to cancer and death, calling the assertion “a myth."

He railed about those addicted to drugs. Then it came out he was Treated for drug addiction as I recall.

If he has been using them long enough, he'll be resistant to their effects. He might even have increased pain due to what is called opioid hyperalgesia.

There's a lesson in there somewhere...
