Doctors who specialise in pain management or painful surgery regularly prescribe a large number of pain killers, news at 11!

exactly, this kinda of ranking simply feed into the mob mentality of blaming doctors and drugs for addiction.

At least they included what kind of doctor they are in the results!

Nit: number formatting - is there such a thing as a fractional prescription, why is there a "NNN.0" highlighted everywhere, and are you also able to add in the commas which will make it clearer the magnitude when scanning?

Over what timeframe?

And this is Medicare part D data, correct? So it's only a subset of prescriptions made, and not by all doctors.

Oh good, let's continue to vilify the people who are actually trying to live with crippling, chronic pain.

Does anyone know where this website get its data from? Are there public data sets that they are pulling from?
