fentanyl or other widely used narcotics as part of her analgesic regime. Yes, there are alternatives, but those are largely short-lived in analgesic activity. And, NSAIDs are not always sufficient for severe surgical or traumatic pain. Most in medicine and veterinary medicine use far less fentanyl (and more morphine, hydromorphone, Dexdomitor, butorphanol, etc. ) because of abuse/theft concerns, but in the right hands, it is highly effective and reversible.

So, this moron should see what it is like to remove a legal and effective medication rather than focusing on disrupting the illegal market, the "diversion market," and getting care for those addicted.
