This article corroborates other research findings I have read: It says that: "Fewer than 10% of the 445,000 post-surgery patients sampled developed additional or persistent use of opioids". And, "Plans are tailored for each individual patient". This is why we need to get government out of health care. Currently, politicians are making laws about health care as though all people are alike. Some of us are having a hard time getting our medicine because of these laws directed at addicts, but they affect everyone.
