But I’m actually talking about a drug addiction crisis that began much earlier and primarily involved middle-class American women, whose only mistake was trusting that drug manufacturers and family physicians had thoroughly vetted the medications they were producing and prescribing. The trust was that your physician cared most for you .. when in fact, a physician can care more about income.
