we doctors were wrong in thinking that opioids can't be used long term they can be and they should we used to think they'd stop working all the patients would become addicts although. 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. that this treatment usually reserved for patients in the terminal phase of cancer can be used without any danger for common. joy every day you know you can really enjoy it must say i have been on this new pain medication i have not missed one day of work this medication does not turn you

into a zombie it is turned me into an active person again. whereas addiction is the 1st of an opioid the figures shown by pretty farmer a purely 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 doctor's $100.00 patience developing addiction and 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 company standing it is 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 pills show up as read. 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 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 are going back and we wanted to find the patients the 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. stuff. that we follow thank you for the mill we have we love you so much. over and all my family in jesus christ my prayers. still 66 you hear me in chelsea 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 shine if i were stronger 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 don't know. if it happened to one person you know ok it was an accident this is by you. 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. kyle has begun his 1st days of therapy at the center. in his struggle against the addiction only speech seems to be the percentage. 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 to see for this particular thing.

several of the guys 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 or. 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. 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 feel lot better

. on day 15 of his treatment col relapsed. one of the patients who brought in heroin secretly. he couldn't resist.

after he plans 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 tis when i see you i would just get high and pass out. back

2. i mean. how you done. for me went to church this morning you know the. problem. oh ok. i'm 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

his 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 the really the most difficult as far as anger is the stuff is just knowing. all the while these companies know what their jobs are doing and they will say it they are so helpful in the routing more lives than they're holding.

a dark industry comes to life in los angeles every night. dozens of women sells their bodies on the streets many of them under-age. los angeles police reveal a taste of their daily challenge if you're going to exploit for a child here in los angeles they were going to come as you would see officers going undercover as 6 workers and customers to fight 6 trade.

i think the only time we've ever had any sort of opiates in the house was after my surgery last year. and at that time we knew about kyle's way ahead. we had the yeah i assured my mom when you might me take the microscope 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 there is rocks easy and they give you the exact same effect as heroin and according to my brother they're even more addicting that one and he had a 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 and me lawyer ritchie with me and doc to 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 what provide education to all of the 1st drivers from

dentists doctors in baton areas 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 a prescription in oklahoma over the last 2 years my medical students will never be involved in this over person 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 high. 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 and you know that's it and they've sold more than 30000000000. dollars worth of oxy cotton since it was really just. heard you farmer was boarded 952 by the secular brothers. until then did name was now known to the general public. nowadays that billionaires and very much appreciated by our congress are. 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 show they knew what they were to. exactly what they were going to. cry. for alternately with and.

remarkably. that's. one thing. i mean dollars and i think here. 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 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 activists johnson and johnson we sued the ones that we. did business and falsely marketed in oklahoma my goal is to let the trees come out i really hope this case goes to trial it's an enormous amount of 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 for you know they have been insta spend on the fancy billions to spend on lawyers. they have no limit on what they'll spray and 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 it's trial may of

2019 we're going to have her trial and we're looking forward to it we believe in our case i believe in her case with every fiber of my being that 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. we will set the precedent if i will might some history on that matter. i hope it's a good history. the lawyers of the full 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 might be bad for the jury verdict didn't see him much or. that's a better answer. than the other. system out there. that on ever. and that was. all.

i don't know would spit of all. since you were mobbed voice. police are scared of getting hooked on drugs you know. that's my biggest worry are now approaching that i don't. ask god. it's been 3 months since cali integrated the ranch so his therapy is coming to an end he now has to leave find a new routine where paying kelis don't exist. so now that i'm sober and off to a lot better more confident. like my body doesn't hurt any more healthy. after he left the ranch 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 nichols 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 that 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 that she should have been on that type of medication and each one especially diabetic.

things to be evidence has absolutely failed to show. this is. the law is very clear about what is a murder case and what isn't on there is other cases involving. 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 be headed into view with her maybe later as soon as the case dismissed you know. 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 . if 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. dr nichols on her lawyer have decided to plead not guilty. i think it's a good thing she's going to have to go to course and have to answer for what she did wrong. it's going to have to answer in front of the jury my knowing that a manslaughter better at least he didn't dismiss it 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 that they used to prescribe all kinds of dangerous drugs that we now know

were 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. i miss you. i miss you hear me. i believe you hear me. but i need chilled see. mr ford. through this. i can. this was a help help somebody else. that's what us if you're. a i

forget or. i've read her you were she here virgie arthur you know i do know if you're here. 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 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.

capitalism in the united states and in the united states the leading capitalism is going on now global capitalist grab. that leads them their middle class. without jobs without a future it's a disaster and you're covered over with a list either but the reality is

a disaster and it was good from work you would see other people emerging trying to make a political career by pointing to their. you cannot be both with the yeah you like. syria has been engulfed in civil war for almost 10 years it's cost hundreds of thousands of lives and displaced millions more no $1.00 foresaw the peaceful

protests of 20 of them is collating into a complex conflict between various armies geopolitical interests rebel groups and jihadists. how they are named on the book on this. but if you tell us if you say in the hague because i. was asian it's. best that the shaw look cool and. let you know deep can you look. closely at them and see a day on. an ordinary has sat that ice you know that it never stops them some other way and then a shame but i don't i'm with the hague get a shot that he. if. the

. carnage on american streets blocked lives moderate protesters. face off we hear from a reporter who was caught 'd up in a police crackdown in seattle. they get closer and closer to me and say hey i think he's still i'm packing up and see a police officer comes show back or i start filming him and he pepper sprayed me directly guys among the other stories that shape this week the u.k.'s opposition labor party pushes for artie's broadcast license to be. a report on lead russian influence londoners they think. the nation i don't believe. poses.
