It is not at all sympathetic to the Sacklers, if that’s what you mean. It’s very sympathetic toward the addicted people and most of their doctors. There was one scuzzy doctor shown at a pill mill. The drug reps fall in the middle. |
Other things worked too |
I think this would be a very difficult show to watch for someone who struggles with addiction. It has a stark portrayal of addiction. |
And they were also addictive and have side effects. Pain is real and should be treated - the drug isn’t bad, the application and sale of it is. |
I agree. People who abuse drugs make it hard for those who use as needed. |
Really, you can’t treat your pain with morphine? Which is less addictive than oxy. |
Or Vicodin/Percocet, which is all I’ve ever been prescribed after surgeries. What kind of surgery are you recovering from PP? |
I have one week of pills. And yes I’m gonna go with my doctor’s advice given that I’ve had surgery once and he’s done literally hundreds. |
Good idea. Your doctor knows best. |
Unless his name is Dr. Finnix. |
Or Dr. Sackler. |
|
I’m finding it very absorbing.
And I’m vaccinated for COVID (3x) but I’ve got to admit that it’s made me more sympathetic to those who don’t trust the FDA. |
| I just started it. It’s riveting. FYI I live in Richmond and much of it was filmed here! So not too far from most of you guys |
I think it would be. |
| Watching it now. Very good show! Highly recommend. |
