On a sidenote I really had to smirk when I read "painkillers". So american!
But let's stay on track: The thing with painkillers is that they are not really predictable (so I don't wonder that he failed). Even if a study suggests that a certain kind of medicine might help better, this doesn't mean anything. It especially does not mean, that the painkiller will help me.
I've tried a lot of them, based on recommendations from the doctor, from the internet, from the pharmacist. In the end I found one agent that really helps me and I sticked with that.
I also smirked at the 40,000 USD figure. Some people has bills bigger than that for staying at a hospital a few days, in other country they could have financed a startup.
