Not just doctors but also dentists abuse opioid prescriptions; dentists perform unnecessary and/or health damaging procedures that result in enormous pain, knowing they can get away with doing this by prescribing Oxycontin for months afterwards, to mask the damage done to their patients.
ReplyBig pharmaceutical companies is the reason why cannabis is federally illegal.
ReplyEvery doctor absolutely knew, just as they know every time they still prescribe these drugs. People act like it’s debatable because they don’t want to loose access to their drug of choice. Its as easy as wining to a doctor, and insisting they “actually” need them to anybody who knows they get them, then lying that they don’t do “drugs” to everybody else. I am all about taking anything and everything one needs to get through this misery, but I can’t stand two face liars that make getting drugs difficult and dangerous and stigmatized for the rest of us… While there underhandedly high as a kite, legally. On the same fucking drugs that resulted in millions of deaths. Meanwhile people in Utah are still doing time for smoking pot while camping.
ReplyRICO ACT.. would work to get these monsters!
ReplyWe even push dope for dogs on TV!
ReplyI live in New Zealand, and while I don’t watch network TV, I’ve pretty much never seen ads for prescription drugs.
ReplyI am sick of this discussion. Just because people take opioids responsibly (since 2007 btw), and, thankfully, have had doctors who NEVER over prescribed it. Some people really are in chronic pain and are responsible.
ReplyLet’s not forget overdoses because of Crystal Meth. I personally know people that overdosed on Crystal Meth.
ReplyLet’s also not forget J&J knew about Talcum Powder decades ago and many women died from Ovarian cancer. Then people still trusted J&J Covid-19 vaccine. J&J had to pay for lawsuits for Opioid crises. J&J applied for Bankruptcy in order to not pay for victims of Talcum-Powder and J&J Baby-Powder and Shower.
Absolutely brilliant television. Brave Danny Strong. Best show in years. Applause for all the cast and crew.
ReplyVery powerful series. Definitely worth a watch.
ReplyWe need to get money out of politics if we want to stop pharmaceutical corruption. Support your local Wolf-PAC.
Reply“People don’t know” always means “I didn’t know” even if it’s Bill Maher. People don’t know the Iron Law of Prohibition: posits that as law enforcement becomes more intense, the potency of prohibited substances increases. or “the harder the enforcement, the harder the drugs.” This is why fentanyl has found such a stronghold since America and her legislators started regulating opioids. For example, the C.U.R.E.S. act, or whatever your state calls it. Why else should it be that the “crisis” has become worse since the campaign to raise awareness and decrease the availability has become so great?
ReplyIt was addictive because it creates horrible rebound pain so people take another one to get rid of the rebound pain ad infinitum.
ReplyLegal narcotics
ReplyGilmore Girls, anyone?
ReplyWow! I didn’t recognize his face but I instantly recognized his voice. I haven’t seen him since Buffy.
