I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

My hometown, but I've never watched the show. Does it ever talk about opiate addiction?

Not that I've seen.

That's a shame. It's a big part of the culture.

I get that enough at work. Don't need it in my entertainment.

Fair enough. But I just left Gloucester this morning, and there are an awful lot of opiate addicts in the fishing community -- I bet regular portrayal on TV would put some heat on the city to take more action.

I work in a doctor's office as a radiographer. I do much more nurse stuff than X-rays, tho. We're a satellite office for a practice that used to be legally classified as a pain clinic even tho we do internal medicine as well. The state requires any practice that dispenses scheduled meds to more than 50% of total patient count to register as a pain clinic. We're not one anymore, but we still dole out A LOT of opioids and benzodiazepines.

Got it. I'm sure it's similar with your patients as it is with the fishing community: on-the-job injury, they get a prescription, it runs out, but now they've developed a serious habit.
