Uhh taking medication you’re not supposed to during a medical appointment is a fast track to being 6 feet under
You don’t know what you’re actually getting, you don’t know if it has any complications with your surgery, and you don’t know if they’ll provide some medication that does not go with what you took.
You can easily get a different drug or even get one that’s contaminated, you could accidentally take a drug with a side effect of dilating your blood vessel or anti blood clot and bleed out, or you could take a drug that doesn’t work with anesthesia and you wake up by accident during the procedure
Please be safe and if you don’t think your doctors are providing care, find a second opinion.
I can’t stop you from doing it, but please make sure you do your due diligence on where you get it from and exactly how it will affect you
As for doctors, it’s a very much your mileage may vary type of scenario. They’ll have their own biases as evident by the comic. You can ask them about the procedure though, and you can frame it as how it’ll affect you. Ask them about how post procedure will look like. You can subtly nudge them by saying you didn’t have a good reaction with x prescription previously, and how it affected your daily life. They should be able to get an alternative placed for you.

Sorry if I was unclear, I meant for after the procedure!
How would you ask the first opinion without getting the drug seeking note?
Ah that makes sense
