Reply to comment by james_d_rustles in Machine learning model reliably predicts risk of opioid use disorder for individual patients, that could aid in prevention by marketrent

Opioids are prescribed routinely after surgery in the US, much more than actual indications require. I don’t think it is in the case in other western countries, they usually ween you off in the hospital and you get something like diclofenac (voltaren) for at home (unless chronic condition / end of life of course). So maybe ones denied are the lucky ones
