I lived in Kingsport once, and it's not the same because of the drug use here. It makes it hard on those of us who don't use or abuse drugs. I'm ADHD and have been since I was young and have been on Adderall for the last 10 months. When I ran out, I went to the hospital where the doctor who saw me treated me like I was some kind of a crackhead. But that's the way I've been treated by every doctor I've seen here in Kingsport. After waiting three months to see a doctor I was told that they don't give their clients Adderall because of the drug problem in Kingsport. I'm sorry that there's a bad drug problem here, but I don't feel I should be treated like a drughead. David Collins Kingsport - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
