Yes, doctors were BIG part of opium crisis in America, they over prescribed the medicine base off the pain scale(with the faces). The others were Big Pharm and pharmacies NO ONE had a system in place to control overmedicating. And YES BIG PHARM LIED about addiction to the medication.
We are forever overmedicating our population in the United States all for the mighty dollar.

Actually, I find that whopper not only insulting to the profession, but personally as well. The behavior that post alleges is not only unethical, it is criminal and would result in severe penalties. I hope your "physician client", whatever that means, reads this and knows who you are.

Any other physicians on this site outraged by this? Have any of you ever been "paid to write prescriptions"? To the tune of 100K????
