One hundred dead Americans every day is too many, don’t you think?

This is for 11:15.

America doesn't really need more opioid addicts.

Just wait until you or a loved on has terminal cancer and you have to fight tooth and nail to get pain meds for them while you are also trying to take care of them, manage the doctors, insurance companies and other care oh and making the last bits of time count all because all these other fools couldn't manage their meds.

Been through this and it is why I have no sympathy for the addicts.

I know it makes me out to be heartless but I think it’s heartless to watch a dying person suffer in terrible pain. Watch a loved one beg to be out of their misery and you’ll change your mind. Trust me. I did.

My mom died of lung cancer last year and was able to have literally any drug she wanted and be as conscious or semi conscious as she chose. She tried different ones and wanted to stay as conscious as possible, but they would have given her anything and told us so. The “rules” don’t apply to terminally ill.

Exactly. The “heartless” PP is a pharma troll. They need to be called out.

Exclusive: OxyContin made the Sackler family billions—but now, after 400,000 deaths, it’s made them near-pariahs. For the first time, David Sackler pleads his case.

The Sackler name should get dropped from the gallery in DC.

^^ ok, where can they pick up the artwork and money they donated to make it possible? You don’t want to keep their money and bad mouth them at the same time, right?

I'm guessing you don't know what "donated" means.

from the article Kingpins:OxyContin, Heroin, and the Sackler-Sinaloa Connection

... With pain management now mandated by the Joint Commission, Purdue began funding groups such as the American Chronic Pain Association (ACPA) and the American Pain Society (APS). These vocal groups began demanding doctors start taking pain management seriously, bringing their message everywhere from state legislatures to medical conferences.
Organizations funded by the pharmaceutical industry were created that rated doctors based on their willingness to treat pain and encouraged many family practitioners to begin prescribing outside of their normal scope of practice. The local family doctor suddenly felt pressure to prescribe powerful narcotics he or she might not have fully understood, or else risk a scathing review from a group like the American Pain Society that could irreparably harm his or her practice.
To ensure legal protection for prescribers, pharmaceutical companies began lobbying state legislatures who, with no medical background, began passing laws protecting doctors from malpractice claims for overprescribing.

Wow.

Should we not have drugs that help cancer pain?

Should we not have companies that are honest about the drugs they manufacture and distribute?

You are f*ing gaslighting the situation.

These people are responsible for untold deaths around the globe, and this is the best you can come up with?

OF COURSE we need drugs to help cancer patients. If they're terminal,does it matter if they get addicted?

That's not the issue here.
