the idea that Ms conton was a drug for cancer pain and the stigma associated with morphine this this notion that you know if you're a if you're a regular person not a doctor and your doctor tells you that your mother's going on morphine that means your mother is gonna die um and what they realize is that uh oxycodone didn't have those same associations even though it's stronger than morphine they did focus groups and you have Oxycodone in in uh in peret and in Percodan and that was the the primary way in which Physicians were encountering those drugs and you know that's right I I misspoke earlier I said it hydroc it's actually oxycodone that's right it's oxycodone and when they're cut with aspirin or aceta minen it's you know it's a relatively small dose there's only so much you can take um um so what they noticed in these focus groups is that Physicians had a sort of a sense of of Oxycodone as more benign you know less threatening there was less stigma
