Injury Statistic
A University of Michigan study found 21 percent of male athletes and 14 percent of female athletes will suffer a sports-related injury in a given year. Opioids are prescribed far too often, yet do NOTHING to heal an injury.
Opioid Prescriptions
In 2012, health care providers wrote 259 million prescriptions for opioid pain medication, enough for every adult in the United States to have a bottle of pills.
