Answer 1

commissions 😁 doctors promote whatever “Big Pharma” tell them to, hence the huge opioid epidemic in the US right now, they were told to promote tramadol and coedine for everything they could and props to them cos they did and now the US is suffering haha, great for non legal drug dealers tho cos i bet they’re raking it in in places like Philli and LA now 🙃
