We now have painkillers that are much more powerful than morphine and far more dangerous. Fentanyl is such a drug, 150-200 times as strong as morphine and more addictive. In 2017, there were 330,445 high-risk opioid users in the UK, the highest in Europe. Scripts for opioids doubled between 2000-2017 and were for longer. And hospital admissions for overdoses doubled between 2005 and 2017.
现在的止痛药比吗啡更强大,也更为危险。芬太尼就是这类药物,比吗啡的药效强150至200倍,也更令人上瘾。2017年,英国有330445名高风险的阿片类药物使用者,位居欧洲之首。2000年至2017年间,阿片类药物的使用情况翻了一番。而在2005年至2017年间,由于过量服用而住院的人数也翻了一番。
In 2017, there were 34 deaths due to fentanyl and 51 because of oxycodone. By 2017, these figures were 58 and 75 respectively. When I was a practising doctor the use of morphine was a last resort. But over the last 20 years it's become acceptable to prescribe opioids routinely. Now, they're seen almost as a standard treatment for short and intermediate pain problems. This has gradually segued into long-term use.
2017年,芬太尼和羟考酮导致的死亡事件分别为34例和51例。至2017年,这一数字分别涨至58例和75例。当我还是一名执业医生的时候,使用吗啡是万不得已的方法。但在过去20年间,人们已接受使用阿片类药物。现在,它们已几乎被视作治疗短期和中期疼痛的标准治疗方法。并且慢慢的被人们长期使用。
