>>So why would you think she would have been better off taking drugs against pain that she didn't have?
Never said she should have or would have been better off. I am making the claim that choice should have been hers and hers alone after getting advice from professionals.
Doctors could have told her "You do not need them, here are the reasons why" that is fine. the legal prohibition is what I have a problem with
>Real pain is treated here in Germany
That is not my understanding and I have known a couple people that have come to the US for pain management because they were unable to get it in the EU, I dont know if they were in Germany or not however. My understanding is that many EU nations have very strict and subject definition as to what "real pain" is. This is evidenced by the personal stories being told here how people "went through X and did not need pain meds" that is fine for them, people have different tolerance levels for different types of pain, and a tooth extraction may be a minor pain for some people and excruciatingly painful for others, yet most of these nations treat pain based on the average response by type of procedure not in individualized reactions.
