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.

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.
