and in 1996 something happened for a company called purdue pharmaceuticals came out with a drug called oxycontin and they started a mere and falsely promoted that opioids were rarely addict maybe only one percent of the 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 while about these tricks they cause this step i believe that with every

fiber of my being. back in 1906 the 1st promotional campaign for an opioid was broadcasted we found that. 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 sedated interconnectivity these 6 cases show how wrong those fears were. in this little film the public was assured with certification that content would show no risk of addiction despite its high concentration in opium to make it believable a real doctor and real patients bear witness. and that this treatment usually reserved for patients in the terminal phase of cancer can be used without any danger for common pain. now i can enjoy.

it really enjoy my say. 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. figures shown by pretty farmer a purely 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 who fits their patients developing addiction and yet in this internal memo the laboratory keeps on encouraging us representatives to solve 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 all. the nice brands 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 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 when the drug 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 pray same at. 66 you're here with 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 inside we struggle 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 do you 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 her 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 hyper serenity. ok so what i want to do today is incorporate

a little bit the stuff that we this morning. every single one of us through. all of us have. several of the. is 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. there. everybody

else here is dealing with 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 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. i would just pass

out. they may be. 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 you too 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 cows burned every bridge possible. even though he's her us the most we saw have to be someone else 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 this of just knowing. all the well these companies know what their jobs are doing and they will say it they they're like oh our jokes are so helpful in the routing more lives than the real thing.

i did want to listen we all want to have love. probably have is that actions have to be acceptable to the point to ration before they are rolled out in a in a society because if then walks acceptable there is a real risk undermining faith in the vaccination system as a whole and i think governments are under such pressure to introduce a vaccine rapidly that good the willingness to consult and to ensure acceptability or somehow to new growth are. going to be used as a workable of the more fleecing of the whole new media the more that moves into the . put it down of the guy who. was only as

a name for almost any of those was the most normal flow 7. years of this war with the. current boat both of you so. the point. the use of the book with of course discussion of those that would use up this is the police used by the up in the media of course. 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 yeah we did yeah i assured my mom wouldn't let 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. wish the street name for the season 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 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 andrew kalani lawyer ritchie with me and up to jason b. then they've all gathered to establish a common fight plan against every single laboratory. case. doctor. human 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 dennis starkers about marianne's 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 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. as 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. was boarded 952 by the secular brothers. until then did name was unknown 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 fortunes 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. they knew exactly what they were doing they pleaded guilty to . for alternately with and knowingly crossing remarkably. that's result of one thing. i mean dollars and i didn't hear who destroyed it what damage occurred in 2007 the company pleaded guilty to the federal accusations of misleading marketing and false advertising condemned they paid over 635 $1000000.00 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. proof pharmaceutical active johnson and johnson we sued the ones that we knew about it did business and call street market in oklahoma my goal was to have the truth come out i really hope this case goes to trial it's an enormous amount of money and they're going to fight for the this is what they've indicated. 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 lawyers already know that 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 lie as much as the. years of investigation and hearings for 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 we're not we can't wait it's trouble 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 yes the. 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 maybe you can come back from that injury of are you going to see him later. that's a better answer to that and i'm going to. face them out. that on never be. and that was. all. i don't know what spin of all. since you were voice. please lol i'm scared of getting hooked on drugs you know. that's my biggest worry are now a prayer that i don't often 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. now that i'm sober an awful 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 from 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 of medication and each one especially diabetic. you think of the evidence has absolutely failed to show. this in. the law is very clear about what is a murder case and what is not there is other cases involving doctors frankly with. his breeches conduct in this. meeting you just see that make those or you just dismiss it so are you confident i'm so. you're waiting for the doctor. should be brought in could lee had an interview with her maybe later as soon as the

case 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 . 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 get a course in how to answer 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 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. love you. i miss you. i miss you hear me. i believe you hear me.

chills see. mr ford. through this through this i can. this was a no show somebody else. that's what us if you're. a i forget or. i've read during the shoot here virgie arthur yes i do know if you're here. since that case happened dozens of american doctors have been sentenced in a court of law for overprescribing opioids. and $27.00 states is suing the laboratories for financial losses the bird you former 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.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is on offer at this very dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see it. how's that strategy will be successful betty. you said. in. a.
