maybe only one percent of the time could you get addicted to no. that was not true . and it is not true and never was true that was a false statement and the other companies jumped on the bandwagon of making money and the false lies spread and the false marketing spread that they are guilty of was about these tricks they caused this. i believe with every fiber of my be. back in 1906 the 1st promotional campaign for it was broadcasted we found it. we doctors were wrong in thinking that opioids can't be used long term they can be and they should be we used to think they'd stop working all the patients would become addicts or they'd be sent to. the 6 cases show how wrong those views were.

in this little film the public was assured with certification the content would show no risk of addiction despite its high concentration in opium to make it believable a real doctor and real patients with this. feeling that this treatment usually reserved for patients in the terminal phase of cancer can be used without any danger for common pain. they are going to enjoy every day you know you can really enjoy must say i have been on this new pain medication i have not missed one day of work and this medication does not turn you into a zombie it is turned me into an active person again. whereas addiction is the 1st known risk of an opioid the figures shown by pretty farmer a purely and solely on reliable some patients may be afraid of taking opioids because they're perceived as too strong or addictive. but that is far from actual

fact less than one percent of patients taking opioids actually become addicted. since 1988 doctors hundreds of patients developing addiction yet in this internal memo a laboratory keeps on encouraging us representatives to sell the cost that miracle pill using bonuses premiums and all sorts of gadgets in only 5 years oxycontin went from 600000 prescriptions a year to more than 6000000. nowadays 30 pharma is the 1st companies that he needs used in the lawsuit filed by the state of oklahoma in order to prove its responsibility the team relies on doc to kalani. in the 1st 6 years of the release of oxycontin produced sponsored 20000 educational

programs across the united states they gave money to the professional societies to advocate for more opioids the organization that regulates hospitals took money from them the organization that regulates doctors in different states took money from them from all of these different directions we were told to prescribe much more the opioid lobby the manufacturers and distributors of opioids spent 880000000 dollars over a 10 year period the walking efforts for more cautious prescribing that they spent 8 times more than the gun lobby in the united states in has spent in trying to block gun regulations. the manufacturers of opiates are spending more money trying to block regulations on opioids the license rights and is disseminated year after year during that time the epidemic takes root hidden in the shadows for so long the

addiction of a 1000000 american citizens suddenly comes to light this days with the most people showing up for treatment saying they're addicted to the pills show up as red on the road. and this is 99. 2001. 2003. 200-520-0720 extension 09 what you can see is that in every state in the united states we've seen a very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids big companies were aware that these pills were dangerous addictive of course and could kill people of course they would yes they were aware of or they put out their drug and one of the drugs started to get prescribed it was very clear early on there was

a public health problem associated with this so there was overwhelming evidence that the products that were making them rich were killing people. back we wanted to find the patients they testified in this that really johnny passed away in 2008 in an accident caused by oxycontin his wife confided he had become addicted to it lauren was addicted for years now she's free if it became addicted and was also found dead of a cardiac arrest 3 patients out of 6 had become addicted as for the doctor who appeared in the film here is his answer. it's not acceptable to say i don't believe in using strong pain medications for

chronic pain we need to stop saying this. is. just. that we follow it thank you for the mildew we have we love you so much. over and all my family in jesus christ i'm a prick. still 66. years it'll be charles i came here a lot but i just feel like she's here with me every time i come here i just feel her presence you know it makes me shy and if i was trouble with this whole it's a daily thing you gotta let it go people say you have to let it go tell us tell us how you do time to kill. us if that happened to one person you know ok it was an accident this is 5. that's right. i mean i don't know what i was thinking miles i really don't i would

like to know what you're thinking was how did she think that was helping. chelsea was 21 when she passed away the same age as kyle who still struggling for his life . kyla has begun his 1st days of therapy at the center. in his struggle against the addiction only speech seems to be the hyper serenity. so what i want to do is look at the stuff that we this morning. every single one of us through. all of us have. through. several of the. guys that i that are in here were athletes. they got injured that introduced him to the opiates and whenever they take the opiates they find out hey not only does this make me physically feel

better but emotionally i feel better. so what of opiates. made me feel like a better person. like i'd be in the house all day and then once i got high i could go out and do whatever on a new. so. everybody else here is still the same thing and you know i can relate to a lot of these people stories and it's just. a lot of them well i don't feel alone anymore and so. that's that's going to feel lot better.

on day 15 of his treatment relapsed. one of the patients who brought in heroin secretly. he couldn't resist. after he plunged back he was sent to this facility. monitored under high surveillance away from his family and son he's following his treatment to be able to go back to the ranch. ready. here

every fall we thank you for this day look we think this were about to receive we think this is just being on a 4 year stretch with it and i just can't seem to stop and. yeah it's highly addictive. why is it so hard to be sober because you have pain i guess is just now i'm so over a half feelings. and. i mean to see how i would just pass out. or. they may be. carried on. for me went to church this morning you know the. problem. oh

ok. well it's almost 12 so i'm going to run by and pick up cash and come out there to you so you can spend some time with him. good luck. to and i'll give you a call here after a little bit. ok bye. he stood on better. his relationship with me his relationship with his brother his relationship with the son karl's burned every bridge possible. even though he's her us the most we still have to be one still be there for him and we don't there's times we don't want to so we have to set our feelings aside and

support him. i think the really the most difficult as far as. just knowing. all the all these companies know what their drugs are doing and they will say it they are so helpful in the rooting for lives in the world. we go to work so you straight home.

make up in there give me my best made up with this lizzie and we said. just at home. there's not one time i'm old but i'm also the most companies he knows i've been a good who says you to please not emotional when i meet. his compass he must get all emotional janish even though he goes from didn't he never speak to c.b.c. just put oh you little difficult. time and i'm going to hit a safe enough to not close those who see him in the middle you i don't like them in this field. look it is. always there in this woman that could come to your mysteriously and bill no money sold in so no man

because here. i think the only time we've ever had in my house was after my surgery last year. and at that time we knew about it way ahead. we did yeah i assured my mom with me take care of and i was so scared that's what they prescribe him he had the same exact stuff that my brother got addicted to oxy r.c. cars. which the street name for that is roxy and they give you the exact same effect as heroin and according to my brother there even were addicting one and he had legitimate surgery and i freaked out i was like no you can't take these and here he had just had his appendix taken out he needed the hump and i didn't want him taking them because i wasn't going to go through this again. just like cauls

family the whole country is in a state of awareness wanting to change things and contain the epidemic. at the oklahoma university and then seen an aggressive alliance was formed researcher and rick allowed me lawyer ritchie with me and dr jason beam and they've all gathered to establish a common fight plan against every single laboratory. case . dr beaman has created the 1st college education program of the country on pain killers addiction. and also want to provide education to all of the 1st drivers

from dennis starkers and back in the area right then and there. we think that that will do more to the result you were describing than any of our other initiatives i think the overwhelming response has been that the doctors that are graduating now and going out into practice are not person and we've seen over 20 percent decline in prescriptions in oklahoma over the last 2 years my medical students will never be involved in this overprescribing behavior and there are definitely some doctors have knowingly contributed to this problem they saw an opportunity to make money and they went for it but that's that's a very small minority boko haram is department of justice is also trying to stop those who are responsible like one of the richest families in the country the one that funds and controls the purse and hire. article i wanted to show you that appeared for bush about the sackler family and back in 2015 they had

14 bay and one of the richest families in the united states and they've sold more than 35000000000. dollars worth of oxy since it was really just. it was boarded $952.00 by the secular brothers. until then did name was on the phone to the general public nowadays that billionaires and very much appreciated by . made itself known as the patrons of museums such as the movie the guggenheim but without anyone making the connection between their fortune and their company michael barrett intends to make this truth known. do you think they knew what they were doing. sure they knew what they were to. exactly what they were doing they pleaded guilty to crimes for alternately with and knowingly

crossing remarkably oxycontin that's a result of one thing mike and bay and i mean dollars and they didn't hear who destroyed what damage occurred in 2007 the company pleaded guilty to the federal accusations of misleading marketing and false advertising condemned they paid over $635000000.00 in penalties and continue to sell opioids. the sacco's would never have been able to market this product without authorization . the f.d.a. has to control and regulate every single drug put on the market it authorized the use of oxycontin as a painkiller without a problem. some of the same f.d.a. officials involved in regulating the drug. would wind up leaving f.d.a. and taking higher paying jobs for purdue pharma and other drug companies we call

that the revolving door i think they should have figured out earlier than what was going on and to this day some of these same f.d.a. officials are still at the f.d.a. and rather than saying we made a horrible mistake we have to change our policies they haven't changed their policies they keep approving more opioids. it's a big day for oklahoma the attorney general's teams are facing the lawyers of the 4 companies being seized a judge has to rule whether there's enough evidence to go to trial. approved pharmaceutical activists johnson and johnson we sued the ones that we. did business and falsely marketed in oklahoma my goal was to have the truth come out i really hope this case goes to trial it's an enormous money and they're going

to fight to the death is what they've been able. to to try to show that they didn't cause they're probably going to blame this on doctors and they're probably going to blame it on people like myself who got sick. we've probably got at least $20.00 already known and they have been insta spend on the fancy billions to spend on lawyers and they have no limit on what they'll spin in these cases and ship lawyer they are here from the east coast and they try other the lie as much as they can. years of investigation and hearings the course of history to change but the time to reckoning is common for the 1st time for laboratories will be judged. as being responsible for the crisis. one day i think they would like us to stop. and go away but we're not we can't wait to try out may of

2019 we're going to tee up for trial and we're looking forward to it we believe in our case i believe in our case with every fiber of my being and i look forward to trying this case if i were the 1st case in the nation set for trial and we've been getting calls from other states we will set the precedent if i will might some history on that matter. history. the lawyers of the fall laboratories duchesse despite our repeated demands for now none of them has accepted to meet with us. they were smiling how does that make you feel maybe you can come back from that part of tennessee i'm not sure. that's a better answer to that i. faced him out. that on never. and that was. all.

i don't know what spin of all. since you were boyish. but police are scared of getting hooked on drugs and. that's my biggest worry are occurring that i think. it's been 3 months since calm reintegrated the ranch child is coming to an end he now has to leave find a new routine where paying calloused don't exist. now that i'm sober an awful lot better more confident. like my body doesn't hurt. healthy. after he left the ranch called moved in with his mother for

a while. he's now found a job and rents a flat where he can accommodate his son every day is a struggle. this is the final battle the one that gets to decide the fate of dr nick. her lawyer asked for just muscle of counts. the state of oklahoma once the lawsuit to go before a criminal court. i think she acted extraordinarily recklessly so what my goal is is to berks file a motion to allow the jury to hear all the other victims that died as a result of that which is so the jury can get a picture of what she was doing here and there are many. women died as it was why should anyone outside the middle ages one especially diabetic.

you think to be evidence has absolutely failed to show. this is. the law is very clear about what is a murder case and what's going on there's other cases involved. frankly with. egregious conduct in this. meeting you just see that make those or you just dismiss it it's very confident. you're waiting for the doctor. should be brought in could we have an interview with her maybe later as soon as because dismissed it. all along the hearing dr nichols seems detached from the events surrounding her but they can look on her face she will never speak as if none of this were her concern . the judge has reached

a ruling. dr nichols will be tried for murder. it's an exceptional decision on the part of the american justice system the trial has to happen in a year or less from now on she's banned from practicing. on her lawyer have decided to plead guilty. i think it's a good thing she's going to have to go to courses and have to answer for what she did. it's you know i have to answer in front of the jury and i know he added a manslaughter or better please he didn't dismiss it and she deserves she deserves you know to go before a jury trial see and see what's going to happen with their you know my daughter to serve that they used to prescribe all kinds of dangerous drugs that we now know are

dangerous about at the time they were doing the best they could to treat their patients and now they're blaming one of their own victims. for doing the best she could with the medical knowledge she. will love you. and miss you. i miss you hear me. i believe you hear me. with any childe see. mr card. through this through this i can file i can smile and say she's helping somebody else. that's what i see to.

take i forget her. i figured her really do you she here every day i forget i do i have to give. since that case happened dozens of american doctors have been sentenced in a court of law for over prescribing opioids. and 27 states. suing the laboratories for financial losses the bird you pharma company is now looking for new clients for its opioid it has created subsidiaries in asia and south america. everywhere opioid consumption is on the increase despite patients knowing the truth.

it. is. targeting china is off the ground gaining momentum some say china must paper the endemic others claim beijing is an existential security threat washington still others say washington concede we live in an.

attic it's worth more to. allow the decide this. and i don't mean this thought that if. this is the only thing that we would do that is music. because everybody fights to use weight. to. the floor themselves at the feet of this wolf this would be a whole lot of them. what i think is this is the fund that is a look something. you.

wearing a mask can't become a political statement in the u.s. look at how other countries divisions are deepening due to protective face coverings. florentine brits are craving pints while some businesses are set to reopen soon some clubs fear they'll struggle to comply with the new post quarantine regulations images like this 1 may make you wish you were here for many popular landlords the future is bitter as for many they won't be able to reopen again. with european countries boys to lift some travel restrictions the world health organization formed for the 2nd peak in the pandemic could be round the corner. and while many children are getting their education online during the panda.
