I worry sometimes that prescribing opiates to mental health patients who come in for their first encounters at VA prescribing opiates might ...

If there is a growing culture that believes it does not matter or it is not as important... we need to nip that in the bud.

Which tells me that opiate overprescription is probably as big a problem in DOD as it is in veterans' health care.

I hope we will do so as expeditiously as possible, and then I hope we can take action to help support VA.
