    Much ado about nothing. The problem with opioids is not just addiction or misuse- opioids lack sufficient evidence for noncancer pain- AHRQ concluded such a few months ago. It is poisonous enthusiasm for opioids, in medicine, which is unwarratned, is more of a problem then addiction and diversion. Moreover, doctors have neglecgted chronic pain conditions for quite sometime and  are still unwilling to obtain any education in pain care. According to Dr. Volkow of the pain consortium, veterinarians receive 10 times as much education in pain care as medical doctors.  Dr Stripps approach is a misleading red herring that denies the real problems of the opioid economy.
