What Is the Medical and Legal Definition of “Narcotics Abuse”?
Question by Kirk: What is the medical and legal definition of “narcotics abuse”?
If a patient suddenly discovered he had been given a diagnoses of “narcotics abuse”, what does that mean? It’s a false claim and it needs further investigation, and moreover, an explanation. But ,can you break it down for me? It immediately conjures up an extremely negative connotation for me.
Best answer:
Answer by KoalaMama
Let’s start at the basics. Narcotics are any of a group of drugs, such as heroin, morphine, and pethidine, that produce numbness and stupor. They are used medicinally to relieve pain but are sometimes also taken for their pleasant effects. Prolonged use may cause addiction, which leads to the abuse.
The definition of abuse would be “misuse, maltreatment, or excessive use.” So, the overindulgence in and dependence on said substance, leading to effects that are detrimental to the individual’s physical or mental health, or the welfare of others, would be defined as narcotics abuse.
Why Is It That Every Time Someone Goes Through a Bad Point in Life, They Have to Start a Foundation?
Question by losingfaithinus: Why is it that every time someone goes through a bad point in life, they have to start a foundation?
When family members and friends die from suicide, drug abuse, sickness or what have you, the family feels a need to make ANOTHER foundation just for that reason. “My daughter died from a disease that kills less than a 1000 people a year, give money to my foundation.” There are hundreds of foundations out there and making another will not change anything. Sorry you kid died from cancer but making a new organization will not help others. I understand mourning but come on, do I have to make a new foundation and take donations every time someone dies? In the news you will hear about how a parent loses a child and now they will start a new foundation in his or her memory. What ever happened to a headstone? If the other foundations that where made in other people’s memory did not help you, what makes you think YOUR’S will help others? You can’t stop bad things from happening to loved ones and throwing money at problems will not prevent tragedies. At worst I feel like people make these new charities to make money and profit from loss.
