Turns out Glenn Beck's medical nightmare was him having adverse reactions to the painkillers he received after having outpatient hemorrhoid surgery. I've had similar outpatient surgery for an anal fissure and I can tell you that the recovery is not fun. But it was never life threatening. In addition the strongest thing I was given was Tylenol with Codeine. I certainly was not given liquid morphine or tordol as Glenn Beck claims to have. That kind of stuff is given to cancer patients who are on their way out.
The guy is a pussy. Seriously. I'm glad that he now has empathy for people struggling with medical care. That's a good start. But I find it sad that it took it biting him personally in the ass ( ;-) ) to get his attention. Part of growing up is learning how to put yourself in someone else's shoes. Apparently he skipped that step.
