875
00:43:33,277 --> 00:43:36,239
I heard he dressed Comey down
one time for saying "turd."

876

Comey tells us the case is off,
I'm gonna say,

"Well, that's one big
turd burger, sir."

day after we get back,

‐ I have prostate cancer.

It took 'em a minute
to find it, but it's fine.

Just take two weeks off,
or three, as long as you need.

889

in the history of pain care.

999

Hospitals, doctors,
think tanks, and even the FDA

1000
00:49:00,771 --> 00:49:04,358
are rethinking the very nature
of pain treatment.

1001
00:49:04,358 --> 00:49:08,446
And what we've learned is
that opioids, certain kinds,

1002
00:49:08,446 --> 00:49:12,116
are not nearly as addictive
as they have been perceived.

1003
00:49:12,116 --> 00:49:13,868
Narcotics can be abused

1004
00:49:13,868 --> 00:49:17,121
and are not appropriate
in all instances.

1005
00:49:17,121 --> 00:49:20,124
But when properly
prescribed by doctors,

1006
00:49:20,124 --> 00:49:23,961
they almost never lead
to addiction.

[applause]

1008
00:49:28,466 --> 00:49:30,551
‐ In most immediate‐release
opioids,

1009
00:49:30,551 --> 00:49:35,306
blood plasma levels spike
between euphoria and pain.

1010
00:49:35,306 --> 00:49:37,308
But OxyContin's
time‐release system

1011
00:49:37,308 --> 00:49:38,517
causes blood plasma levels

1012
00:49:38,517 --> 00:49:40,478
to have
fewer peaks and valleys,

1013
00:49:40,478 --> 00:49:42,521
creating a plateau effect,

1014
00:49:42,521 --> 00:49:46,984
which results in less euphoria
and less potential for abuse.

1015
