I have the same concerns as you do. I have seen people taking more medication for pain than is safe for years. What it comes down to is that we as nurses are not allowed to judge such things even when it is obvious. I have come to the conclusion that I am just a stoke in the wheel. It is sad to say but that is the only way that I can look at it. As long as they do not code on me then I am force my law to give them what they want.
