How many Plastic Surgery "Addicts" get that way because of the Vicodin?

[Taverner]

Stay with me here for a sec...say you're a person with a predilection for opiates....and you have money from everywhere. Say you could get a surgery, say a tummy tuck, even though 4 weeks at the gym would get rid of it, but you get the surgery, and voila! Vicodin or Oxycontin!


Thoughts? Concerns? Comments?

1. Ever *had* surgery? Vicodin doesn't really help with the pain enough to make it worthwhile

I've had minor, non-cosmetic surgeries ... even if Vicodin got me high, not worth it!

2. If four weeks in the gym would replace a tummy tuck, we'd all look fantastic.

Anyhow, I don't think so. It's cheaper to just buy the pills aftermarket than to go in for surgery.

3. Wouldn't it be easier just to buy the vicodin from a street dealer?

A person with that kind of money won't have any problem finding any.

4. Unless you work at a certain hospital in Princeton NJ

Apparently they have so much Vicodin on hand there that they never miss it, even when their doctors eat it like candy.

5. Easier elsewhere.

It's easy to get on the streets.
