I think it might be even worse than that, that everything they did rolled back pain care. Law enforcement was already on a moralizing crackdown on pain doctors in the 90s and 2000s, and any ground that was gained in justifying pain care in that context was then stomped on by Purdue. It's one thing if they burned their own bridges, but to burn the bridges of all of your customers is a new level in retail aggression.
