poti: i'm going to say it's complicated. of money to be made by promoting the treatment of pain to the highest level. big pharma made a lot of money on this. and i was taught in residency you give people as much pain medicine as they need. you get them out of pain. we will judge your hospital. we will judge your emergency room based on your pain scores. that's how we were taught. and we were also told these medicines weren't all that addictive. we started handing out pills like crazy. 100 million americans have chronic pain. so, we did a disservice as doctors and as prescribers like we took data that was bullshit, and then we went forth with it said oh prescribe it to everyone, they won't get addicted. we know what we're doing. guess what, we didn't know what we were doing. ♪ you like her. she's always up on the latest trends. she got in early on the whole goat yoga thing. and her sunsets are always #nofilter. you like her. but you'd like her better if you made more money than she does. don't get mad at @just_marea. get e*tr
