the false marketing spread that they are guilty of was about these tricks they cause 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. these 6 cases show how wrong those views were. in this little film the public was assured with certification. of addiction despite its high concentration in opium to make it believable

a real doctor and real patients witness. that this treatment usually reserved for patients in the terminal phase of cancer can be used without any pain. i can 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 so reliable some patients may be afraid of taking opioids because they are 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 have observed patients developing addiction yet in this internal

memo a laboratory keeps telling courage and its representatives to sell the cost of 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 company standing it's used in the lawsuit filed by the state of oklahoma in order to prove its responsibility the team relies on doc to kolob me. 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 a walking efforts for more cautious prescribing that they spent 8 times more than the gun lobby in the united states in spent in trying to block gun regulations. the manufacturers of opiates are spending more money trying to block regulations on opioids. and is disseminated year after year during that time the epidemic takes root in the shadows for so long the addiction of a 1000000 american citizens suddenly comes to light. this seems with the most people showing up for treatment saying they're addicted to pills show up as read the rule. 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 i could kill people of course they would yes they were aware before 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 i got back we wanted to find the patients that 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 crying we need to stop saying this. just. that we follow it thank you for the milner we have we love you so much.

over and all my family in jesus christ i'm a prick. 66 you hear me chelsea come 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 shine inside we struggle with this whole it's a daily thing you gotta let it go people so you have to let it go tell us tell us how you do time to kill. us if it happened to one person you know ok it was an accident this is 5. that's right. i mean i don't know what are thinking miles i really don't i would like to know what your 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. and his struggle against the

addiction only speech seems to be the purpose right now. ok so what i want to do today is the stuff that we this morning. every single one of us to quote myself when we come in here all of us have a tendency for this particular thing. 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. when they were on a new. 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 a lot of love i don't feel alone anymore so. that's that's going to fill up the other.

on day 15 of his treatment col 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. 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 and. this is just

now i'm so over i have feelings and. i mean to see how i would just get high and pass out. or. they maybe. carried on. for me went to church this morning you know but i got problems. 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 said on better. his relationship with me his relationship with his brother. his relationship with the son carl's burned every bridge possible. even though he's her us the most way so have to be someone's to be there for him and we don't there's times that we don't want to sell we have to set our feelings aside and support him. i think really the most difficult as far as anger as a step is just knowing. all the all these companies know what their jobs are doing

and they will say it they are so hopeful when the ruling more lives and they're holding. you can't be both with the yeah you like. certainly. entering a new stage in. not just the needs.

i think we. already passed the peak of this willingness to be most global and most. progress in terms of developing development of technology. development of communication i don't think it can be. controlled and going to addiction between safe life and will share but it will not disappear. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to confront let it be an arms race based on very dramatic development the only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

i think the only time we've ever gotten. it was after my surgery last year. at that time we knew about it way ahead yeah we did yeah i assured my mom would mean let 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 artsy kind of cars. which the street name for the season and if you. just heroin 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 calls 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 andrew culottes me lawyer richie with you and dr jason b. then they've all gathered to establish a common fight plan against every single laboratory. case. dr beaman has created the 1st college education program with the country on

pain killers addiction. and also what provide education to all of the 1st drivers from dentists doctors and that marriage 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. me 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 oklahoma over the last 2 years and my medical students will never be involved in this over. behavior 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 vocal harmonies 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 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. was boarded 952 by the central brothers. until then did name was known to the general public nowadays billionaires and very much appreciated by. made itself known as the patrons of museums such as the movie all 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 doing. there's that they were i would and they pleaded guilty to crimes for all didn't lead with and knowingly

crossing the north of the oxycontin that's resulted in the one thing for sure that they were my. i mean billions of dollars and they didn't hear who destroyed what damages. 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. the sack clothes 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 seated a judge has to rule whether there's enough evidence to go to trial. approved pharmaceutical after johnson and johnson we sued the ones that we. did business and falsely marketed in oklahoma my goal is to let 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 us 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 for you know they have a 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 lie as much as they see. it to years of investigation and hearings through 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 others it's we will set the precedent. we will might some history on that matter. good history. the lawyers of the full laboratories duchess despite our repeated demands for now none of them has accepted to meet with us. they were smiling how does that make you feel. bad for not. going to see i'm not sure. that's a better answer to that other. just a mouth. that on never.

was. all. i don't know what sped up all. since you were voice. i'm scared of getting hooked on drugs. that's my biggest worry are now approaching that i think. it's been 3 months since cali integrated the ranch told his dad he is coming to an end he now has to leave find a new routine where paying kelis don't exist. now that i'm sober and or feel a 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 nickel. her lawyer asked for a dismissal 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 that jury to hear all the other victims that died as a result of her that which is off 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 of medication and each one especially diabetic.

you think of the evidence that is 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 and. frankly with all the egregious conduct in this. meeting you just see that make those or you just dismiss it so are you confident. you're waiting for the doctor. should be brought in could we have an interview with her maybe later as soon as the case dismissed you. 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. from now on she's banned from practicing. doctor nichols on her lawyer have decided to plead not guilty. i think it's a good thing she's going to have to get a course in how to answer for what she did wrong. it's going to 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 and see and see what's going to happen with her you know my daughter to serve there or 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. love you. and miss you. i miss you hear me. i believe you hear me. chills see. mr ford. through this is i can survive i can smile and say help somebody else. that's what i see if you're.

ok i forget her. eyes you're 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 $27.00 states is suing the laboratories for financial losses that purge you former company is now looking for new claims for its opioid it has created subsidiaries in asia and south america. everywhere opioid consumption is on the increase despite patients knowing the truths are.

oh. oh. oh. oh. oh. oh. oh. what if i tell you that everything is thought you knew about that movie the matrix it is wrong.

laugh and cry and another one of the highest in my town when you're both excessive . bannock itself movie theater i. was in this way got to dog so hard not to think of the mother disappeared this moment the look of a coward and an optimist all right then if. this is the only thing that we do is music because everybody fights his way. through and you can feel the fee on this bill frist woody allen you have the whole of the ability to put a hold on the. what i think is this is the found that is a compliment. on

the welcome to worlds apart in just one comment 9. politics has replaced geopolitics or rather has become. more intense than albi order on the day while be careful citizens health has reminded evil politicians to carefully calibrated or even explain their policies is one to do.
