I’d say the doctors are the pushers.

That's been happening a lot lately. Why?
I’m afraid the upshot of this is that those suffering from serious pain will end up being left out in the cold. I had a very serious tooth infection a couple of years ago and I think God the doctor was able to prescribe opioids for a couple of days until the strong antibiotics he also prescribed could take effect.
I think it’s the doctor’s fault for over prescribing. This will hurt those that need it.
"No pain meds for you!"
Did the drug companies provided incentives to the doctors to write these prescriptions, like “first one to write 1,000 prescriptions wins the grand prize”? If not, I don’t know how they are liable in any way. Somebody can school me, if you wish.
Absolutely no sympathy for J&J. They were relentless through their private foundation to promote abortion and defeat pro life candidates. Also always wondered why there has never been a huge class action lawsuit seeking damages to all the people who ruined their hearing using Q Tips. They knew how unsafe that product is and how people were misusing it. Yet they did nothing. What kind of ethics does this company have?

Bingo. If a bartender serves a patron who is already falling-down drunk, it’s on that bartender (and the bar). It’s not on the company who made the liquor.
But big companies have deeper pockets than individuals do. So common sense goes out the window.
So, the drug companies incentives are responsible for people who misuse the drug?
Drugs companies are responsible for getting their products approved by the FDA
Doctors are responsible for writing prescriptions only when required.
Patients are responsible for using prescriptions according to the directions.
Eliminating responsibility is the #1 problem in this country in many, many areas.
Gun and ammo makers are next.
What about roadkill? Can we sue the car companies for roadkill and put the proceeds into wildlife preservation? Those evil care companies. SALTY TEARS ALERT! LAWFARE ALERT!
This sounds like a piece commissioned and paid for by the pill-pushers. For an alternate view, I highly recommend Sam Quinones’ DREAMLAND: THE TRUE TALE OF AMERICA’S OPIATE EPIDEMIC.
It is not longer economically sensible to manufacture Oxy. They will keep suing until all the lawyers get a cut
We did this thread yesterday.
So a state court, with state lawyers, state jurors, and state judges decided a case benefitting the very same state in which they all are affiliated. With cases like these, public employees retirement systems are given new life!!
I didn’t realize it, because I did not check the date and don’t lie. I have never posted entire articles twice, except some times parts of Rush Limbaugh’s transcripts, and you can count those on one hand, you moron
I realize that, I just put the wrong date by mistake without realizing it.
When did anyone say you were lying? And how does my pointing out a duplicate thread make me a moron?
