It is easy to draw a conclusion from this that it is impossible to find doctors who are
free of bias in relationship to drug companies.  This is in itself extremely alarming.  For
how otherwise, could it be that a respected institution as MacMaster , receiving over
$600 000, to set new guidelines for the prescription of opioids totally fails in its work
in doing this in a generally accepted, untainted fashion.  This is outrageous.  Not only
should MacMaster have to return the money, but it needs to make a full and open
admission of what went down.  
Besides this, it is not a 'pill from Perdue' that has caused the recent fentanyl explosion with massive deaths in its path.  These are two separate issues.  Over prescribing of
opioids can of course lead to addiction and in turn make people turn to fentanyl on
the street.  But it is important to look at these two issues with a different view of 
how to address them.  They may be linked but not the same.
