How come my doc doesn't think absorption will be an issue for my meds?

Hi! Just wondering if anyone else's doc seemed unconcerned about their absorption of meds post-op and whether or not it actually BECAME an issue? I take synthroid, wellbutrin and ditropan, and my doctor didn't think i should crush my meds, EVEN THOUGH the lortab PILL FORM he prescribed to me for pain post-op was not breaking down (I had to get another prescription for the elixir, which worked just fine). I'm especially concerned about my thyroid meds being absorbed - many of the body's systems will be thrown out of whack if i'm not getting enough thyroid hormone. Both the doctor and his PA (whom i usually see) tend to blow off or downplay post-op concerns, and i want to find out if there are any others out there whom this actually happened to. Thanks!
