Rand Paul in Serious Pain - I Hope He Avoids Opioid Addiction [View all]
Five broken ribs are no laughing matter - literally. Laughing is out of the question when just breathing sends stabbing pain through your chest. I've had a couple of broken ribs, myself. It's a nasty injury and there's not much to be done about it. Typically, serious pain medication is needed just to let you move around with some sort of comfort.
Fortunately for Senator Randy, he comes from Kentucky, which is one of the states that has a massive surplus of opioid pain medication and helpful physicians to prescribe them, thanks to the pharmaceutical industry. So, no doubt he has a good supply of them to take to ease his pain and suffering.
My "thoughts and prayers" go out to the Senator, with the hope that he won't fall victim to addiction over his injury. Yes, indeed.
