an Onion-style medical parody on a website called GomerBlog, which punchy health care workers across the state had gleefully called to my attention: “To kick off their new labeling, [the Dilaudid-making] company hopes to change the pain scale from a 0–10 to Tylenol-to–That One That Starts with a D,” the satirist wrote. (“You go crazy if you can’t laugh every now and then,” a nurse-practitioner told me.)
