News of the Week and The Joys of Parenthood

Cohen, and I'm not talking about boots in general, but why so many people get addicted to painkillers and stuff? Look, it's a problem,

you know, and it's unfortunate, you know, because I've had a few operations over the years.

So when I have a patient like I had my knee scoped years ago and when I tell them, you know, I didn't take any narcotics.

I took, you know, Motrin and Tylenol.

And then they're asking me for, you know, their third round of a narcotic, you know, six weeks after their surgery.

I'm just like, I don't understand.

Like we're not different, you know,

at the end of the day.

I think I walk away fast from that type of stuff because so many of my friends, young friends, it doesn't seem like the older crowd is as addictive.

And off record, I'll tell you what my uncle told me years ago.

I can walk away from them.

But I can tell you right now, if I was having a bad day, I kind of feel sorry for those who are addicted because it could get you through your day if you just lost your loved one or some traumatic PTSD or whatever they call it.

I don't know.

They opened at 7, but guess when the pharmacy opened? 9.

And guess how long I waited? 45 minutes.

But I was in Florida by the base, and I made a lot of good old military retired Vietnam guys, so I was doing my thing, talking, asking about their service and everywhere.

There's a reason for the season.

I had three new good friends at the CVS 50-minute wait for my medicine, three Vietnam veterans that really like on their flight and don't.

You take

every situation and make the most out of it.

You know, everybody should do that.

It's hard to do sometimes, but it's fun to do, too.
