There's been much in the news recently about opioid addiction. The use and abuse of opioids has skyrocketed in recent years and has become a truly nationwide problem. The most common opioids are Vicodin (hydrocodone), OxyContin (oxycodone), Dilaudid (hydromorphone) and Demerol (Meperidine).

I am certain we’ve all seen the bumper stickers that encourage us to “Question Authority”. They are almost ubiquitous in our part of the world. And when we see it, I am sure we are at least tempted to hold our head up a little higher, stick out our chin, and give three cheers for individual autonomy. Question authority, that’s right! Down with the Man! I’m my own master. No one’s going to tell me what to do… except maybe that bumper sticker. Seriously, have we ever stopped to question the authority a bumper sticker has to tell us to question authority? If not, why do we simply take its authority without question?
