Why blame doctors when the makers of OxyContin told Congress for years that it was safe and non-addictive. It's a systemic issue with various actors/stakeholders whom all are partially to blame in various capacities.
- songshu 6y agoYes, I do blame law makers and manufacturers too.
- spaetzleesser 6y agoBoth should be blamed. There were plenty of doctors who noticed that the OxyContin promises didn’t work out but they kept prescribing anyway.
- iorrus 6y agoWhile doctors do share some blame, they were actively targetted by Purdue with brochures, slick salesmen etc.How is was allowed is the real issue for me.
- LanceH 6y agoCongress chooses which experts it listens to. Too often it chooses those "experts" based on notoriety and the conclusion they hope to reach. Now they are "shocked" to find out they people they've been accepting money from were leading them astray -- not that they knew where that money was ever coming from.
