One slight error to point out, (and only because you have been so spot on in the medical arena), Mike would have hesitated giving Norm pain meds because of the TBI. Doesn't mean he wouldn't have, in the end, but opiates do tend to increase BP, at strength/high dose. He would have had a dialogue about it, with Norm.
You've got a real barn burner, here... great job.

Yes, from what I heard and read that's a problem in the US, especially in the mid-west and the Appalachia region.
Amazing how the country that started the whole war on drugs first let the CIA sponsored traffickers get the black community hooked on crack and now a generation later allowed the pharmaceutical companies to addict a sizeable part of the Caucasian population on opiates. I guess it's just capitalism at work and hey, no harm done. In both cases for the most part, the so-called victims (aka as junkies or drugfiends) weren't really high earning people. It's natural selection at work.
The stupid poor take themselves out of the equation, society improves. Amirite or amirite?
