Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Thank you, everybody, for coming to the committee today. Thank you, Dr. Meuser.
First, doctor, I remember when I was growing up I never used to get a prescription for an ear infection. My grandmother and my mother used to look after that for all of us, if I remember correctly. I don't know where your comment about a mother-in-law comes from. I thought it was the opposite.
I wanted to start with what you mentioned about unintended consequences. It's not anything new. If you read the literature, there are examples of people getting hooked on heroin that initially was used to treat pain and they liked the experience. I don't know how we should assess why we haven't been able to learn anything from that, or whether it's something that was simply overlooked. Maybe you could comment.
