Geo, when I'm traveling by car, I like listening to talk radio, this past Friday I was listening to WHAS louisville and they were talking about the drug problem in ky, if I remember right on the overdose cases in louisville this year 2017 has already had 700 overdoses, and as for the doctors pushing the pills for profit, the radio guy said, in the Lexington herald leader was a story on a small town in south eastern Ky, population 1500 and town was Manchester and is in Clay county with a county population of 21,000 and the article was about so many drug stores that have opened in such a small town, and the number of pain pills that the droctors have written prescriptions for, the guy said the article said the amount of prescription pain pills, was enough to give every man, woman, and child in clay county a pill every other day of the entire year, and you say don't worry about the doctors, it looks to me like some doctors are no different than the street drug dealer, except they have license to push their pills. here is a link to the article..
