This is what was used to promote Purdue's Oxycontin early on with a slight alteration of the letter.
According to other literature I have read, supposedly Dr. Jick came to regret writing the one paragraph. The key comment here (and to be redundant) is; “We conclude that despite the widespread use of narcotic drugs “in hospitals,” the development of addiction is rare in medical patients with no history of addiction.”
It is pretty obvious the text of the short letter said a “hospital setting.” Those two words were not included in many citations of the Jick and Porter letter.
Merrill:
Are you aware of the Jick and Porter letter written in 1980?
