A friend recently had a minor procedure (he took a couple of ibuprofens after and that was all). But the doctor gave him about a dozen of narcotic pills that eventually ended up in the trash.

Another friend had a persistent cough getting over a cold and was given oxycodone in liquid form "to help sleep." She never took it.

Both of these were at major facilities in the Bay Area. Thinking at least some of the blame falls on the docs.
