A doc White Hat's wife will not have her job for long. 108.162.245.69 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
Suggest marking as incomplete. Source is Wikipedia? Is there someone who has more familiarity with opioids who can comment? And what's the purpose of the title text? Stating it's incorrect does very little to explain the joke (which I don't really get). Wikiiscool123 (talk) 12:30, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
