Fentanyl topic split off election thread.

[brewer]

I suggest that you return to post #1 and #3 in this thread and read them again. The use of fentanyl during surgery for anesthesia is common and not tied to addiction. No physician that I know gives fentanyl for short term post op pain. And  ibuprofen in excess amounts? I'd love to hear the details but suspect he has none.

Who the fuck cares about RFK?

You do not read much scientific literature, do you? (I love the british question tags and the british accent)

Single dose oral ibuprofen for acute postoperative pain in adults

Authors' conclusions

The very substantial amount of high quality evidence demonstrates that ibuprofen is an effective analgesic in treating postoperative pain. NNTs for 200 mg and 400 mg ibuprofen did not change significantly from the previous review even when a substantial amount of new information was added. New information is provided on remedication.

I read medical literature daily, 5 journal articles this morning. I doubt your claims of fentanyl use for post op pain and therefore doubt the entire story.

Really, an article from 2009, only compared ibuprofen against placebo and not other medications (of course it's going to control pain better than placebo), review of medical literature only (back as far as the 1980's). Did you read the conflict of interest?

Yep, you're on top of things going on in the medical community.
