In the arms of morphine

In Switzerland, the number of patients addicted to painkillers continues to rise, while their long-term efficacy is being called into question. More and more doctors are alarmed by the situation. Although the situation is not as serious as in the USA, where opioid overdoses are the leading cause of death, it is also giving rise to human tragedy in Switzerland and the need to rethink the management of chronic pain. This crisis also raises questions about pharma's marketing methods.
