No personal responsibility there. Nope.

“No personal responsibility there. Nope.”
You need to read between the lines in the article, or rather that which was omitted. Right after he was prescribed the drug the doctor and all his nurses, and a special team from the maker and distributor, sent a special team over to his house, held him down and forced the drugs into him he knew he has been dry at for an extended amount of time. It is obviously a conspiracy set up to further the cause of forcing the use of drugs that kill. (Which doesn’t make much sense as if they kill them, they can’t make any more money off them) The doctors and the drug makers and sellers must have come from public education.

However, docs overprescribe, too. Just spoke with a man a few minutes ago who had 30 days worth of pain pills prescribed for a simple outpatient surgery. He took them for 48 hours, on doctor's specific orders, and didn't bother with the rest.
The same has happened to me and my family, I just cleaned out the bathroom closet and took a plastic bag filled with overprescribed painkillers from various dental things and minor operations to a drop-off. Invariably, we'd get the prescription, take the pills for a day or two, and then stop, or transition to something more mild, OTC.
(I'd forgotten about the 800mg Ibuprofen "Horse Pills". Geez, it's a wonder my liver and kidneys are still working after those things....)
Is that the right thing to do? Probably, I'm not changing anything. But a lot of the same docs will tell you to follow their prescriptions to the letter and I'm sure that can get people in trouble.
