If the media would stop drawing attention to these "horrible onilne doctors who will prescribe a person 300 Oxycontin" then the country would stop freaking out about this. I guess opiates are the latest "designer drug" and will be treated like all the illegal drugs are now. I saw a news spot that was about OP's, and of course some dumb kid OD'd on some pills he lied to get from one of those shady email sites. They made it seem like all OP's will prescribe anything no matter what, as long as you have the cash. Someone needs to let the media know that not all OP's are like that. This attention is going to do nothing but get OP's shut down. Doctors are pushed around by the DEA enough and I wonder how the OP's do it. They must have to jump through so many hoops to be able to operate.
I think that Americans should be be aware of the undertreatment of pain, instead of the handful of drug addicts who use OP's as one of many places they use when doctor shopping. I bet there are more of us, the undertreated then there are of them.
MY 2 cents on this matter.
