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 broadcast and 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 the content. 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 danger for common pain. i can enjoy it work 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 this medication does not turn you into a zombie it has 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 sylvia 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 and yet in this internal memo the 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 produce 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 ice 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 seems with the most people

showing up for treatment saying they're addicted to pills show up as read on the road. and this is 99. 2001. 2003. 200520072009 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 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.

still. there we follow it thank you for the mil who we have we love you so much. over and all my family in jesus christ my my prayer. 66 you hear me in chelsea can hear 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 was trouble with this whole it's a daily thing you got to let it go people so you have to let it go tell us tell us how you do kind of like you know. if it happened to one person you know ok it was an accident and this is 5. that's why america. i mean i don't know what our thinking miles i really don't i would like to know what her thinking was about it she think that was helping. chelsea was

21 when she passed away the same age as kyle who still struggling for his life. kyla's began 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 are in here were athletes. they got injured that introduced into 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. i did it 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. 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 and 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 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 it has when i see it i would just pass out. or. they may be. done. 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 stood 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 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 really the

most difficult as far as anger is just knowing. all the all these companies know what their drugs are doing and they will say it they are so helpful in the ruling more lives than their whole thing. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. tyson lation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. directly. what is true what is right.

in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us on the death. or a mate in the shallow sea. 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 and the way ahead yeah we did yeah i assured my mom wouldn't let me take marcus. and i was so scared that's what they prescribe him he had the same exact stuff that my brother got addicted to oxy. causes. which strain him for the season and if you. just heroin according to my brother there you 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 seem an aggressive alliance was formed researcher andrew culottes me lawyer ritchie with me and up to jason b. then they've all gathered to establish

a common fight plan against every single laboratory storm. chaser. 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 and bad 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 writing things and we've seen over 20 percent decline in per script. 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 commerce 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 want to show you that appeared for about the sack or family and back in 2015 they had 14 bay and one of the richest families in the united states and they sold more than 35. dollars worth of oxy cotton since it was really just. boarded 1952 by the circle brothers. until then their 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 new for all the guggenheim but without anyone making the connection between their fortunes and their company michael barrett

intends to make this truth. do you think they knew what they were doing sure they knew what they were doing. back there were they would and they pleaded guilty to crimes for alternately with and knowingly crossing the north of the. that's a result of one thing. i mean billions of dollars and they didn't hear who destroyed it what damage it caused in 2007 the company pleaded guilty to the federal accusations of misleading marketing and false advertising condemned they paid over 6 $135000000.00 in penalties and continue. this actors 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

pharmaceuticals after johnson and johnson we sued the ones that we. did business and call street market in oklahoma my goal is to have the truth come out i really hope this case goes to trial it's an enormous. and they're going to fight for the this is what they've been. 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 disband own lawyers and they have no limit on what they'll spin in these cases and they ship lawyer they are here from the east coast and they try other to lie as much as they can in. a 2

years of investigation and hearings for the course of history to change but the time to reckoning is common for the 1st time full laboratories will be judged as being responsible for the crisis. while 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 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 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. we will mark some history on that matter. history. the lawyers of the 4 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. bad for not. going to see him much or.

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. please you are scared of getting hooked on drugs you know. that's my biggest worry are now occurring 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 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 nickel. 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 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 has absolutely failed to show. this is. the law is very clear about what is a murder case and what is an aunt there's other cases involved and. frankly with all the 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 and 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 . 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. doctor nichols on her lawyer have decided to plead 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 journeymen no he added

a manslaughter or better at least 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 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. love you. i 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. a i forget her. eyes you're really do your she hears everything i've got 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.

seems wrong. to me you all get to shape out just. as a good. trig equals betrayal. when so many find themselves. because the swarms of the blood of them so moving. to build your school local was before. much of those who heard it's a preview are mostly other movies who see him with the north we hope will. move. move through with a. small show you just look beautiful the look i mean it's a good look or a good. movie muslim also his girls will give you films for good girls.

to go to shows a look but look your simu believes this will be story too should go. to start ups to. get to me to even the littlest lengths to look it is it's. just us that understands this new it's the mashed old truck to stop the president from the screen trying this project until it's. so free of producers to post listening to snoop to come up with new it because that is the girls who are to sort your supporters to your sheep station shouldn't feel you should cook door for one whose job is a request. for

. fresh protests in europe over covert restrictions as mixed messages from governments leave people confused and angry. we go over we will come together we can see our loved ones anymore we think this is absolutely against our fundamental human rights. us state of vermont defends prioritising residents for the job move that some of condemned as racist. hate crimes in the united states a martial arts center in california the state by far the worst affected opens self-defense classes for the most vulnerable.
