That would almost have to have an inside element to be pulled off.... I would think they guard closely the shipping times and methods of Oxycontin and CII in general .
Interesting point by prettyday as well regarding how many were ACTUALLY stolen....
I'm glad noone was hurt in the ordeal. What WILL happen is someone will OD on snorting the stolen narcotics, and then they'll prosecute another doctor and give the drug more face-time.
I have one positive point to add: My gut instinct based on research and interaction with doctors and industry, is telling me that the plight of the acute and chronic pain patient IS coming to light in a way that will result in positive gains towards proper treatment. I feel that pain patients and opoioids are going to be de-stigmatized significantly in the near future. The inappropriate role of law enforcement playing doctor has not gone unnoticed, the tides are starting to turn.
What the hell happened to mass media anyway ? Is it really as simple as ratings trumping journalistic integrity ?
