  A) You don't need to worry. It's actually not true that you can get addicted to the medications we use in a hospital setting.
  B) If you do become addicted, we'll make sure to provide you with the support and resources necessary to help you with your recovery.
  C) It's important that you accept that your current need to control your pain is more important than fears of becoming addicted.

Did you know?

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
