Yes great summary of how Purdue took advantage of the misguided pressure to treat the 5th vital sign. Hoping you will add information about how fentanyl became the problem it is now, responsible for so many more deaths now.
And now watch as the marketing that was done to treat ADD and its cousin ADHD has gotten a further boost from Pharma so that now we have an Adderall shortage. Enter the cartels and the “sudden” surge in methamphetamine use. OH my!!!!
For those that are unaware this also includes the Cliff Notes version of Gerald Posner’s eye opening book PHARMA. If you haven’t read it please do so.

You are right. We are repeating the same mistake promoting the use of amphetamines.
Wow, thank you. This is an incredibly helpful summary of a grim situation.
Outstanding article. Thank you.
