I'm reading this book "Dope sick" by Beth Macy. And it goes into Oxy epidemic of the early 2000 and now with the impact of fentanyl. I was just wondering the number, you don't have to give your story, of the people you know that have been affected by this. And how responsible should big pharma be held.

I was in the medical profession for many years. Most of my patients were elderly and most were addicted to oxy. Doctors handed it to them like candy.
As far as big pharma being held. They aren't alone in this, they have help from the FDA and doctors. Doctors are offered HUGE REALLY HUGE bribes to prescribe more. You may be interested in this book. It's quite accurate from what I have observed.
