[QUOTE="doctorjj, post: 3133709, member: 7292"] The opiod crisis is a very complex problem. And it wasn’t created simply by corporations pushing their drugs. That is a very, very minor contributor, in my opinion. Perhaps the biggest contributor was the Joint Commission’s decision to include pain as a 5th vital sign and the subsequent issues with that including defensive medicine by doctors being afraid of being sued for under treating pain. There are many other factors as well. But if you understand how that one decision affected so many things, including even the cultural idea of “I shouldn’t have any pain”, you see that it’s way more than companies pushing drugs. So few of the narcotics are non-generic anyway. There’s no money in it like there is for other drugs. [/QUOTE]
