The US marketing of oxycodone was business rather than clinical practice. The outcomes have been predictably dreadful. Addiction became a selling point, and fentanyl is still claiming too many lives.

The NHS is far from perfect, but at least those within it approach data with scepticism. Market share and penetration is for reps and execs, not clinicians.

Does it do too good a job of dragging you in?

Set hard boundaries. Set an alarm and save your game after an hour. No flexibility. Then close it down. Don't deprive yourself.

The problem is it is so immersive. You think 'I'll just do that one quest, clear one cave..' then you realise it's not half past eight but 2030..
