Stevie Still Angry at Spying Medicine Man

[bombaysaffires]

It is irresponsible for a physician to prescribe medication that has addictive qualities to a known addict. A doctor has training that a layperson does not, and therefore Stevie isn't wrong in saying that this guy has some responsibility for setting her back down the addiction path. Also, a prescription implies there's a need for the drug, a doctor has determined you need this and so you take it.

Listen, Stevie clearly consumed a wide variety of substances willingly, and suddenly living your life sober is a huge challenge. She's talked about this in some detail when talking about the tour after getting off Klonopin and doing concerts sober for the first time in a long time. So I'm sure when she got off coke she had the same concerns-- how will I do this without being high? Would make her more willing to go along with the Klonopin thing. But still, the doctor should have been worried about giving the drug to a person with known addiction issues and been monitoring her. And most importantly, Klonopin is NOT meant to be taken for more than a few months. That this guy kept refilling her Rx for YEARS is unconscionable.
