interesting video
The best thing about this video is this fact: between 1991 and 2010 prescription narcotic prescriptions went from 75 million to 210 million. Unbelieveable.
Actually, if you take into consideration a population increase of almost 30% between 1990 and 2010 and a cancer incidence rate that is more than double (even if cancer mortality is down, cancer incidence is very high), the figure is not so dire. Still, unfortunately, too many people are abusing this type of medication.
