It’s wrong to blame them all, and I do not believe anyone is doing that. However, there are some MD’s that are guilty of handing out prescription medicine when the patient has no real issue warranting that medicine prescribed.

And that is precisely what needs to change- however- we should not penalize docs who don’t do such things and who prescribe for legit reasons- but sadly this opioid issue is turning into a witch hunt, and good people are suffering as a result- The fact is- the % of doc abuse is low (but we can make it even lower by weeding out bad docs)- most opioid problems come from illegal use- not from people having had to use prescription meds- (yes, there are some cases- but the majority never become addicted when taking it as prescribed)
