I agree...the Oxycontin hype needs to stop. One thing that MUST happen is the OP (and possibly IOP) industry needs to stand up and start taking some offensive and defensive action. Hire lobbyists, do press conferences, do SOMETHING...the Ryan Haight act, for instance, threatens their very existence, and yet I don't see the industry doing ANYTHING. Ever since OPs came online, they've been seen as shady, and the industry has only fueled that. It's time for OPs to start re-making their image and fighting the negative and often inaccurate reports about them found in the media. Also, patients need to organize more and explain how and why OPs/IOPs meet their needs. Without exposing the public to the NORMAL users of OPs/IOPs, we may soon see the entire industry destroyed. Sorry, just my rant.
