        Almost all opioids are prescription drugs, what matters dosage & management

        Types of Fentanyl on the street and heroin are not prescription drugs, and account for 60% of overdose deaths.

        Let’s go after the “drug dealers and pushers”- the pharmaceutical companies. ☠️

        @WSJ Your cherry picked data derived article was obviously composed to promote an agenda that’s blatantly false, misleading, & dangerous to many people with pain. You’re complicit in spreading skewed information & controlled by your master’s money/power. All facts matter!

        Here's something I think you forgot to mention in your 40% number. I would bet the majority of those 40% weren't prescribed to the patient and most of them had an illegal substance in their system also. Stop feeding this hysteria with skewed numbers.

        I'm not a medical professional but i think painkillers for more than 4 weeks depending on the circumstance is excessive.

        If i were a medical professional i could narrow it down to some specific cases but until then all i can offer is my humble opinion

        This is like trying to remove fleas from a barnyard puppy. Out of my 3 knee surgeries I got the same amount + refills, and when it was time to go back to work I did. 99.5% of acutely painful patients dont want pills if they could have most of their health back. Why the genocide?

        They are handed out like candy in the hospitals. Nurses love them because they quiet complaining patients.

        There is no need to have opiod pills after every surgery, i have had several dozens of surgeries and only after 2 surgeries i needed heavier painkillers than aspirine. Its a load of bollox if u cant handle some pain or discomfort for a few days.
