they took steps to suppress negative information within a month we received a 3 page letter from purdue pharma. basically saying why are you bothering the doctors this is not a prescribing problem this is a patient misuse problem this is a drug abuse problem patients need to be able to get what they need and then we got a year later got sued in federal court we were all all the medical directors were served in our homes the current efforts to stop this overprescribing have been met with much pushback from the pharmaceutical industry they rationalized that the billions of dollars they were making were helping more people than they were whoring they insisted and still insists today that only those who are diverting and misusing the drugs to get high are responsible for the epidemic and not those who are for striped the drug produced distributed a follow up video to i got my life back to double down on their claims that oxycontin was a safe non-addictive long term chronic pain relief returning to these patients off to 2 years shows that when pain treatment is successful and stay successful

today the opioid epidemic commands national attention there are now dozens of court cases against purdue and other pharmaceutical companies for their collusion to promote drugs they knew were dangerous for turning a blind eye to the sale of opioids to doctors and clinics that were polled mills and for the destruction of states and communities ravaged by the up at them. i'm not sure i'm enough of a medical expert to say what steps need to be taken at this point. but you know what what's very clear is that unless you have. public health experts regulators criminal investigators local officials and the medical community working together. in some kind of established program the problem will never get solved the one thing that we have to do is slowly and surely. the. prescriptions we need to get them doctors are no strongly encouraged to cautiously prescribe for both chronic pain and acute pain this will lessen the chance of surplus pills being diverted in the buz surgeons the dartmouth hitchcock medical center in lebanon new hampshire recently published guidelines to reduce the number of exc

and the fact that it took money from purdue and other opioid makers and promoted aggressive use state medical boards that failed to regulate the way in which doctors prescribing and even encouraged aggressive prescribing there's a lot of blame to go around the question is is who is guilty or who should feel guilty i don't know that anybody feels too guilty i kind of wish a few more people did feel a little more guilty despite public outcry pharmaceutical companies find new and creative ways to market their heroin builds. what's in the parts lauren and we do have pounded or we can employ. and it looks to be very opioids centric including painkillers marketed to children the food and drug administration announced about a month ago that they were determining that oxycontin is safe and effective for children 11 and up which is very disturbing most of the companies that now operate in these bases in this space have gone dark. it's not the big names that you and i would recognize like pfizer or johnson and johnson pfizer does have a little bit but not a lot. is actually these small very foc

as part of a grant through that was provided to them by the pharmaceutical company purdue pharma the joint commission on accreditation of health care organizations recently defined and adopted stringent pain standards on the basic thrust of our new standards is that organizations and practitioners have an obligation to ask the patient even if the patient doesn't look like he or she is in pain ask them to be surprised to hear when you go to a doctor's office how they ask you or are you having pain. though you may go for a raise that has nothing to do with pain which just added white or fluid to the fire because because it became equivalent to say if you have pain you need opioids . at least in the united states. you know i mean probably not for making people spilling an oxy contemn produce marketing of oxycontin that's depending on how you look at it very successful very tragic all the marketing legislative maneuvering cash and free giveaways handed to doctors and politicians might have been justified if opioids were a safe effective non-addictive treatment for chronic pain but they w
