I was pretty familiar with tramadol as a prescribed medicine. It was mainly the downplaying over the type of drug, and volume, that caused me to question who the **** at the bbc felt it was an appropriate spin.
I don't know how it works behind the scenes at the bbc but the only way I can substantiate such hack journalism is if they were instructed to do so politically.
