Although there were 11, 882 patients who received at least one narcotic preparation, there were only four cases of reasonable well documented addiction in patients who had no history of addiction. The addiction was considered major in only one instance. The drugs implicated were meperidine in two patients, Percodan in one, and hydromorphone in one. We conclude that despite widespread use of narcotic drugs in hospitals, the development of addiction is rare in medical patients with no history of addiction.\u201d - Porter and Jick, 1980, \u201cAddiction Rare in Patients Treated with Narcotics\u201d New England Journal of Medicine
