Calling it misleading is a little strong. You would prefer it to be brown, I would personally prefer a more pale green, but the amount of hate in the comments is crazy.

The darker the green, the more forests. Seems to make sense to me.

We literally use all of the drugs he listed for outpatient and inpatient management. In fact many of the post op patients now get High dose Ibuprofen, acetaminophen and Gabapentin as multi modal pain control as an alternative to opioids. I prescribe many of these daily.

What an overthink of a simple visualisation.

The whole half just for being married to a rich person is down right lunacy.

The US really is the wild west

0-19% should be white or brown. Kinda misleading

Czech, Slovakia, Hungary and Germany/Austria have a very long tradition of professionally dubbing movies and TV series. There's iconic dubbing artists that were associated with specific actors. There's industry awards as well. You'd be hard-pressed to find single voiceover movies or series unless they're documentaries perhaps

*Percent covered by forests in Indian states.

I never specified what 'legend' meant.

His songs are not to my taste. At least, he had his own style. That's something

Nationalism usually mean trying to paper over the bad things.

Here, for me, the desire to show India as ‘green’ (with green meaning good), was the reason (knowingly or by instinct) for the choice of colour gradient.

“%age”? In all my years, I’ve never seen that

I made a list of drugs for pain relief as that was what was asked for. There are very few situations (arguably none) in which all drugs are practical.

Expecting any drug to replace opioid is very unrealistic at this time and as I have commented on, dealing with chronic pains should be multidisciplinary and not entirely reliant on just pharmaceutical therapy for the most effective way of tackling the issue.

One of the largest barriers is tackling patient (and indeed many healthcare provider) mindsets and psychologies. Opioid rotation is not a long term solution. Opioid reduction is the main aim but requires a huge turnaround of thinking/effort/money.

Prevention is better than cure generally. Stopping the opioid problem in a patient beforenit deveoops into a massive chronic issue is far better than trying to sort it when they aren on 160mg BD and it's five years down the line. One situation that can be worked on is the acute pain apatient who comes to hospital (e.g. After a trauma). If the analgesia is effectively tackled then, with the likes of the medications I have mentioned, and they get discharged without the need for ever escalating opioid prescriptions, how is that a bad thing? If you disagree and you think they should just get ever escalating doses of single agents then, again, that's your opinion.

As of yet there is no panacea and I doubt there ever will be. Based on your name I'm guessing that you are somehow involved in the pharmaceutical industry? If this is the case then no doubt you are aware of how difficult it is to create a drug that has decent efficacy, acceptable tolerance and safety profile and a cost efficient process of manufacturing, distribution and marketing.

I never said

You sure you got enough shades of green in here?

The legend says the size of the dot is the settlement size. And the y axis is labelled ranking.

Either type % or the word percentage, you don’t need this weird mix ha

What does nationalist propaganda have to do with green colour.

You made a list of drugs that are not practical for most situations. It gives a totally misleading picture of the state of pain management as is related to opioid replacement.

Firstly my post was simply a list of analgesics. That was what was asked for.

Secondly you may think that. And you are obviously entitled to your opinion. Your opinion is not seemingly well based in fact. Or perhaps maybe your reply is by someone who who doesn't know about outpatient or chronic pain use. I don't know.

I mention paracetamol, naproxen, ibuprofen, diclofenac, gabapentin, pregabalin, duloxetine, magnesium, local anaesthetics, heath and cold therapies, all of which are available and appropriate for some outpatient or chronic use. So basically the majority of what I listed.

We have (had? Haven't noticed it in a while) this on the news in Belgium. Honestly, it's just distracting.

Well, a "legend". Just because it's from our childhood doesn't mean we should disregard how terrible it was.
Bernard Minet's songs were ridiculously childish even for my 9 year old self!

I’m very tempted (based on personal experience) to blame the Modi governments nationalist propaganda as the reason for OPs colour choice.

So very tempted…

Many of these are not appropriate pain relievers for outpatient or chronic use. It’s like a person who doesn’t know anything about medicine wrote the post…

I’m willing to give way on that. OP is clearly Indian so English isn’t his/her first language.

The choice of gradients however…

Wow, people in the comments really didn't like the concept of "the darker the green, the more trees".
