It's time to phase out codeine

Scientists say that it is time to phase out codeine.

However, only 20 days ago, codeine was handed out to every single patient in a day-surgery ward. Even though RMD vomitted out the 2 pills of codeine (in Tylenol 3 format) and was in extreme pain, he was totally ignored until it was time to kick him out as he became hindrance to workers wanting to go home. He was then given a shot of morphine and was pushed out of the hospital. The beauty of public health care - money saved and life not endangered.
