Has it occurred to anyone that the horrific rise in pain killer abuse and the associated use of illegal drugs is caused by too much access to medical care?

Just in case it has, there are stories out in the past few days blaming the manufacturers of OxyContin because it doesn’t last 12 hours and the pharma company told docs to just up the dosage.
Never mind that docs have to navigate a minefield if they even think about prescribing these painkillers.
Fall guys have been designated.
This is anecdotal from personal experience. I detoxed (chemical and additive free choices, pure food) over five years ago, to boost my immune system. I've had two situations....a tooth extraction and a shoulder injury where I was prescribed pain killers. I said I didn't want them. I was given a lecture about how I wouldn't properly heal if I DIDN'T take them They're still sitting on the shelf. It was totally manageable pain. Is it really good for people to never experience pain from medical situations? It's part of making good judgements during the healing process.
Then there's the meds for ADD, ADHD and other conditions that may not exist. There are some doctors who could rightfully be charged as serial killers for prescribing those poisons.
