James Anthony misses the mark- doctors are the source of the prescription medication problem- pain specialists who received lots of money from pharmaceutical companies pushed their colleagues in medicine to use medications for pain-they instead should have called for doctors to have education in pain care and make full use of all resources to treat pain. Now society wants to blame the victims of doctors carelessness-and no doubt teens and people in pain will use alcohol and illegal substances instead of prescription meds-when govt succeeds in limiting use of painkillers. Its a terrible thing to see wirthout a vision-and govt and the so called experts lack the vision to help the public with this issue.
