Original sentence: Increasing scrutiny of prescribing practices and high-profile prosecutions of doctors for allegedly over-prescribing drugs such as opiate painkillers and benzodiazepine tranquilizers has made many doctors extremely reluctant to prescribe large doses or repeat prescriptions of these drugs, even to patients with a legitimate medical need.Some consider the high-profile case of Richard Paey an example of such
Edited sentence: In one high profile case in the UK, a teenage girl died from an overdose of paracetamol (acetaminophen) after having her wisdom teeth removed, after doctors refused to give her any stronger painkillers and she took several packets of paracetamol over a 48 hour period in an ineffective attempt to relieve the pain.Increasing scrutiny of prescribing practices and high-profile prosecutions of doctors for allegedly over-prescribing drugs such as opiate painkillers and benzodiazepine tranquilizers has made many doctors extremely reluctant to prescribe large doses or repeat prescriptions of these drugs, even to patients with a genuine legitimate medical need.This has led to the unfortunate situation of patients such as Richard Paey with chronic pain conditions, being forced to illegally seek multiple prescriptions of controlled drugs merely to achieve acceptable alleviation of the symptoms of their often incurable medical conditions.Younger patients have been particularly affected, as concerns about the potential abuse of narcotic drugs have meant that even patients with acute injuries such as broken bones, or recovering from minor surgery, may be given only mild analgesics such as acetaminophen which are ineffective at relieving severe pain
