While I agree that the presumption that you might have had an addiction to drugs is upsetting, I also understand entirely where the doctor is coming from.

People with mental disease (and it is just that - it's a disease. Not "problems", not "issues", etc.) have a much larger representation in the population of substance abusers for a variety of reasons not yet understood. Drug abusers come from all walks of life, and it's almost never a matter of willpower or weakness. I was a speed addict for awhile (prescribed!) and I come from a very happy, financially secure home. I have my bachelor's degree in veterinary medicine and am about to return to school for my masters/Ph.d in Microbiology. Drug addicts don't all live in the gutter, and for the most part we don't wear signs that say "Junkie" in big red letters.

Additionally, people aren't usually very forthcoming at ALL about said drug abuse, especially of prescription drugs. I know I wasn't and I repeatedly denied that I had a problem with one, even though speed addiction is very, very obvious. I had to be confronted about a million times about it before I acknowledged that I MIGHT have had a tiny problem, when in fact I had an enormous problem.

Consider also the climate towards doctors these days in terms of malpractice suits. Many of them have to stop practicing because the premiums where they live are unaffordable. What if the doctor didn't ask you about your substance abuse history, even if you had a severe one, and then you got addicted to the sinus meds as well? In a lot of cases, that would spell "lawsuit", especially because one of the major tenets of malpractice claims is the doctor's failure to take an adequate history. Hence her asking you twice. She had to be very, very certain.

Seriously, I think you may have over-reacted. This day and age, she has to look out for herself as well as for you. It's a terrible climate to live in. It's offensive to us - but no doctor these days really knows you, so how would she know (in a manner that would stand up in court!) that you wouldn't do it/never had a problem? She can't!

Forgive her. She was trying to watch out for you. That's rare these days.

some of it's magic
some of it's tragic
but i had a good life all the way......
