Just I thought on the death of Prince. I think things aren't settled yet but if it was pain drugs, it will help the drug addiction problem move forward. It it's a major problem in every community. I,like Ed have a closet full. Mostly all of the drugs make me sick. Even after this last shoulder surgery, I took only a total of 4 tramadol. Got violently sick and put up with the pain. I know they are needed short term but something must be done to help people with pain and not cause addition. Search pain on the Web and you will find many discussion how there isn't any benefit to long term opioid use. Such a shame it claims the life of so many.
