In response to the comment about... "what is to stop a Medic or RN from stealing a narcotic"... my response would be that an RN or Medic probably has spent too many hours studying and in classes... as well as money to risk stealing a narcotic... whereas a basic has a semester of training only..

I didn't find his post trolly at all, however I found your assertion that it is indeed a fact without the resources to back it up and then abrupt subject change when challenged to be a little on the troll side.

To throw in some random, statistically meaningless anecdotes, I have personally known two physicians and a veterinarian who became addicted to drugs, as well as a handful of students, and reliably heard of several more. I don't think high levels of education mean immunity to addiction, especially working in high-stress jobs with plenty of access.
