> Doctors prescribing medication balance those risks with the potential benefits
except for the thousands of doctors who overprescribed opioids due to either ineptitude or their own benefit, or perhaps lack of alternatives
yeah, the Sacklers are primarily at fault, but I think people forget that they weren't handing out these pills themselves on street corners, but that __doctors__ were handing them out, triggering the biggest health crisis in America
- ceejayoz 2y agoI’m not inclined to think cutting the doctors out of the equation and allowing everyone to self-prescribe would have made the opiate epidemic better.
- insane_dreamer 2y agoI agree. I'm not saying the doctors were the primary problem. I am saying the doctors were complicit (knowingly or not).
