Leg Amputation Without Pain Killers? Who Would Request That?! David Riggins Would. From Legal Scripts to Street Dope, Copper Hijinks, Fentanyl Overdose and a True Spirit of Resilience**trigger warning

**depiction of injury and intense skin burn from 46:50 to 47:10 Meet David Riggins! David enlisted in the military the day after 9/11. An early boot camp training injury led to an early medical discharge and prescriptions for morphine and dilaudid. When the US government began cracking down on pain clinics, David was cut off from his legal prescription. David turned to street drugs to mitigate the intense withdrawal.

In December 2022, while nodded out on fentanyl, David experienced an accident that left him an amputee. That's when he had finally had enough.
