Abstract
We read with interest the special and insightful article by Soffin and colleagues1 on the prescription opioid crisis. They carefully examine many of the drivers for subsequent opioid dependence after surgery and provide suggestions on how practice can and should be improved. As proponents of enhanced recovery programmes, we acknowledge that with reduced postoperative length of stay, and with the increased utilisation of ambulatory/day surgery, patients are no longer being fully weaned off their analgesics by the time of hospital discharge.
