I agree. I wrote a article into a newspaper on this subject. Oxycodone: Did the world actually need this highly addictive pain killer?.. did it? Countless people who would normally not get addicted to drugs or even consider drug abuse did in fact get addicted to this drug. Most after surgery or some other medical condition. For many it ruined their life. The pharmaceutical companies knew full well of just how addictive this drug was, as did the FDA. But because of lobbying and pressure the drug hit the market So who in fact is the drug dealer? Well, for one it is the drug manufacturer. two, those who rubber stamped it thru the FDA and the doctors who get kick backs for writing the prescriptions for it. But I put more blame on the manufacturer. The world did not need this pain killer, we got by fine without it before. How many lives were ruined because of... greed you could say the same thing for alcohol and we can read how well that prohibition worked |

VA Hospital Scandal Feb 20 2017 Federal authorities are stepping up investigations at Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers due to a sharp increase in opioid theft, missing prescriptions or unauthorized drug use by VA employees since 2009, according to government data obtained by The Associated Press. Doctors, nurses or pharmacy staff at federal hospitals — the vast majority within the VA system — siphoned away controlled substances for their own use or street sales, or drugs intended for patients simply disappeared. http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/va-hospital-scandal/opioid-theft-missing-prescriptions-prompts-investigation-va-hospitals-staff-n723291 |
