Psychotropic Drugs in Religious Rituals

[Old Paths]

I just recently had double surgeries at the same time, a "lung wedge" and two nodules removed from my stomach wall at M.D. Anderson in Houston and they sent me home with a bag of drugs, three were narcotic pain pills. I didn't take any of them because i'm scared to death of addictions. When I saw both surgeons a month later, when asked about pain management, I told them that I hadn't taken any of the narcotics, but had taken some Tylenol, the lung surgeon said "you're a tough guy" and i told him no sir I'm just scared of narcotic drugs.

The doctors most of the time mean well, but abuse in others that I know has caused me to be extra cautious.

If and when I pass from this world, I want to be in my right mind and calling on the Lord Jesus.
