        Since OnyContin maker has already achieved a high addiction rate, they don't need sales staff.

        I think once the drug you’re selling reaches the level of being an “epidemic” you’ve overachieved at your job. They probably all got giant severance packages too.

        Hey Purdue Pharma @purduepharma Thanks for killing my dad! Or should I thank the prescribing physician for failing to tell him he might suffocate after using?

        These drugs should have only been prescribed to patients with the most severe pain, and yes doctors prescribed them freely, But people also go in to doctors screaming and hysterical they can’t “ handle “ any pain, or they can’t take their kid in pain, this wasn’t a one way road
