    “You don’t think of medical professionals doing this, but 10% of medical professionals divert drugs. 10%… That’s a lot.”

    That’s an unbelievably high percentage.

    Googling around, I see

    One in 10 healthcare workers misuse drugs (or alcohol) during their career, which is similar to the percentage seen in the general population; however, the diversion trend is slightly different in healthcare, as workers in this setting are more likely to misuse prescription drugs rather than illicit drugs.

    Which is very different from the quote in the article.
