PSA: using the word "junkie" is inappropriate coming from a Healthcare professional

I like this overall. Can agree with being more professional and removing terms like schizophrenics or diabetics. Curious have you ever looked on r/opiates ? People flaunting their hauls from pharmacies or drug dealers. “Happy Nods” I see a lot. This is what they say to each other when they have a nice stash of drugs. I say this because (I’m assuming) a lot of retail pharmacists/hospital pharmacists probably will disagree with change because they are sick of fighting an uphill battle with addicts. Whether it being yelled at for not filling early or dealing with crooked prescribers. I’m curious to see what these pharmacists have to say.
