MODERATORS
Many doctors dismiss a significant amount of pain complaints in general because of the small minority of drug abusers seeking pain meds.
How are we supposed to punish every single member of the tiny minority who abuse the system if we're not allowed unlimited collateral damage with impunity?
American Exceptionalism hard at work.
That's not what american exceptionalism means
A big historic example of this was back in the middle ages, when people didn't have any idea about how to determine true from false when there were two conflicting views, they'd do a trial by combat because if you were right, how could you lose a fight specifically meant to determine if you were right?
Though exceptionalism does come into play because those who believe it about others seem to think something different is going on when they are the ones suffering. Like maybe it's a test rather than a punishment, or there's some complex plan that involves a period of suffering or something like that rather than just accepting that sometimes life isn't fair.
Society should be all about trying to offset that unfairness, especially in areas like food, housing, healthcare, and (some) things typically covered by insurance.
It would seem that America doesn't have a problem with collective punishment
It definitely didn't when it put people in internment camps. I know people alive today who have defended that decision. That's a small sample size, but it does support your argument.
In this case it's a remnant of the history of gynecology being using slave women as unwilling test subjects and dismissing all objections from them
I have a shoulder injury. I'm down to 6 pain pills and i'm so anxious about requesting more.
fucking shoulders... I had a rotator cuff that was hell for 6 years. I'm perfectly fine now, but I refuse to reach behind and to the right in the car to this day.
worsened by opiod crisis, and homeless population.
