I made millions off the opioid epidemic.
This story is fiction and any correlation between it and real events is a coincidence.
I'm writing this information in the hope that practicing physician's may learn form it, and possibly stop the rampant practice of opioid diversion. That's right I made millions of dollars in the early 2000's until roughly 2013 on diversion. My prime diversion target's are 40-65 years olds on ssi/ssdi with limited savings or assets. That have financial hardships

Prescription heroin
Was listening to NPR on the way home today, interview of a journalist for vox who claims prescribing heroin TID on taxpayer dollars to curb the opioid epidemic has worked well on a small scale in one Vancouver clinic and advocated attempting this in the US. Sounded ridiculous hearing this but the online articles are there.
