I had an ear infection, the doctor thought I was lying for pain killers(she said people my age shouldn't get ear infections, and I could've just used a hairdryer), I told her no the pain is fine I just want antibiotics so it doesn't get worse. She then decided to prescribe codeine and oral antiobiotics but not ear drops.

When I went to the pharmacist they filled the codeine prescription even though I didn't want it.

What the fuck? I see it often in english-speaking places, but I want to know why doctors say "oh, you just want pain killers". Them being concerned about painkillers more than about biological nukes infections can become resistant to greatly concerns me.

Well it is true, many drug addicts are dependent on prescription pain killers. Which other people will intentionally get prescribed so they can sell. Y'know, the whole opioid crisis thing.
