Fiber of my being. Back in 1906 the 1st promotional at campaign for an opioid was broadcasted we found it. We doctors were wrong in thinking that opioids cant be used long term they can be and they should be we used to think theyd stop working all the patients would become addicts or theyd be sedated interconnectivity these 6 cases show how wrong those fears were. In this little film the public was assured with certification that content would show no risk of addiction despite its high concentration in opium to make it believable a real doctor and real patients bill witness they all confirmed that this treatment usually reserved for patients in the terminal phase of cancer can. Without any danger for common. Man i can enjoy. It really enjoy. This new pain medication i have not missed one day of work this medication does not turn you into a zombie it just turned me into an active person again. Whereas addiction is the 1st known risk of an opioid the think is shown by pretty farmer a purely reliable some patients may be afraid of taking opioids because theyre perceived as too strong or addictive but that is far from actual fact. Less than one percent of patients taking opioids actually become addicted. Since 1988 doctors hundreds of patients developing addiction and yet in this internal memo an elaborate story keeps on encouraging us representatives to sell the cost miracle pill using bonuses premiums and all sorts of gadgets in only 5 years oxycontin went from 600000 prescriptions a year to more than 6000000. Nowadays 30 pharma is the 1st Company Standing its used in the lawsuit filed by the state of oklahoma in order to prove its responsibility the team relies on doc to kalani. In the 1st 6 years of the release of oxycontin produced sponsored 20000 Educational Programs across the United States they gave money to the professional societies to advocate for more opioids the organization that regulates hospitals took money from them the organization that regulates doctors in different states took money from them from all of these Different Directions we were told to prescribe much more the opioid lobby the manufacturers and distributors of opioids spent 880000000 dollars over a 10 year period the walking efforts for more cautious prescribing that they spent 8 times more than the gun lobby in the United States in has spent in trying to block gun regulations. The manufacturers of opiates are spending more money trying to block regulations on opioids. And is disseminated year after year during that time the epidemic takes root hidden in the shadows for so long the addiction of a 1000000 american citizens suddenly comes to light. This seems with the most people showing up for treatment saying theyre addicted to pills show up as read on the road and this is 99. 2001. 2003. 2005200720 extension 09 what you can see is that in every state in the United States weve seen a very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids Big Companies were aware that these pills were dangerous addictive of course and could kill people of course they would yes they were aware before they put out their drug and one of the drugs started to get prescribed it was very clear early on there was a Public Health problem associated with this so there was overwhelming evidence that the products that were making them rich were killing people are going back and we wanted to find the patients that testified in this that really johnny passed away in 2008 in an accident caused by oxycontin his wife confided he had become addicted to it lauren was addicted for years now shes free if it became addicted and was also found dead of a cardiac arrest 3 patients out of 6 had become addicted as for the doctor who appeared in the film here is his answer. Its not acceptable to say i dont believe in using strong pain medications for chronic pain we need to stop saying this. Our. Heavenly father thank you for the milner we have we love you so much until chelsea we were over and all my family in jesus christ my prayer. 66 you hear me chelsea come here a lot but i just feel like shes here with me every time i come here i just feel her presence you know it makes me shine if i was trouble with this whole its a daily thing you gotta let it go people say you have to let it go tell us tell us how you do time to kill. Us. If it happened to one person you know ok it was an accident and this is 5. Thats why. I mean i dont know what our thinking miles i really dont i would like to know what her think was how did she think that was healthy. Chance she was 21 when she passed away the same age as kyle who still struggling for his life. Kylas began his 1st days of therapy at the center. And his struggle against the addiction only speech seems to be the hyper serenity. Ok so what i want to do today is incorporate a little bit the stuff that we this morning every single one of us through. All of us have to see this through. Several of the guys that i that are in here were athletes. They got injured that introduced him to the opiates and whenever they take the opiates they find out hey not only does this make me physically feel better but emotionally i feel better. So what of opiates. Made me feel like a better person. Like id be in the house all day and then once i got high i could go out. When they were on a new. Everybody else here is still the same thing and you know i can relate to a lot of these people stories and its just. A lot of a lot of love i dont feel alone anymore so. Thats thats going to feel lot better. On day 15 of his treatment called relapsed. One of the patients who brought in heroin secretly. He couldnt resist. After he plunged back he was sent to this facility. Monitored under high surveillance away from his family and son hes following his treatment to be able to go back to the ranch. Here every fall we thank you for this day look we think this were about to receive we think this is just being on a 4 year stretch with it and i just cant seem to stop and. Yeah its highly addictive. Why is it so hard to be sober because you have pain and. This is just now over i have feelings and. I mean to see how i would just pass out. Bank. Or. Maybe. Are you done. For me went to church this morning you know the. Problem. Oh ok. Im well its almost 12 so im going to run by and pick up cash and come out there to you so you can spend some time with him. Good luck. To and ill give you a call here after a little bit. By ok bye. He said oh i better. His relationship with me his relationship with his brother. His relationship with the son carls burned every bridge possible. Even though hes her us the most we still have to be someones to be there for him and we dont theres times we dont want to so we have to set our feelings aside and support him. I think the really the most difficult as far as anger is just knowing. All the all these Companies Know what their drugs are doing and they will say it they are so hopeful when the ruling more lives in the world. Join me every thursday on the alex simon chill and ill be speaking to guests of the world of politics or business im show business ill see a. Part of something is better than 100 percent of nothing and so losing money has is part of the Money Laundering model as a model of Business Model and we look at these unicorns these startups and Silicon Valley like the ones you mentioned we work. That way fair goober if we were lifting their all losing money exponentially so many after the ouster start well maybe the model is to lose money and so cool theres laundering the money who is laundering the money. I think the only time weve ever had any sort of opiates in my house was after my surgery last year. And at that time we knew about kyle in the way ahead yeah we did yeah i assured my mom when you let me take the microscope and i was so scared thats what they prescribe him he had the same exact stuff that my brother got addicted to. Oxy. Causes. Which strain in for the season if you. Just hear one according to my brother there you were addicting. And he had legitimate surgery and i freaked out i was like no you cant take these and here he had just had his appendix taken out he needed the hump and i didnt want him taking them because i wasnt going to go through this again. Just like cauls family the whole country is in a state of awareness wanting to change things and contain the epidemic. At the Oklahoma University and then seen an aggressive alliance was formed researcher andrew culottes me lawyer ritchie with me and up to Jason Bateman theyve all gathered to establish a common fight plan against every single laboratory. Case. Dr beaman has created the 1st College Education program of the country on pain killers addiction. And also what provide education to all of the 1st drivers from dentists doctors in baton areas right then and there. We think that that will do more to the result you were describing than any of our other initiatives i think the overwhelming response has been that the doctors that are graduating now and going out into practice are not person writing these and weve seen over 20 percent decline in prescriptions in oklahoma over the last 2 years and my medical students will never be involved in this over pursed bing. Behavior there are definitely some doctors have knowingly contributed to this problem they saw an opportunity to make money and they went for it but thats thats a very small minority. As department of justice is also trying to stop those who are responsible like one of the richest families in the country the one that funds and controls the purse and hire. Article i want to show you that appeared for about the sack or family and back in 2015 they had 14 bay and one of the richest families in the. And they sold more than 35. 00. Dollars worth of oxy cotton since it was really just. 952 by the secular brothers. Until then their name was known to the general public nowadays billionaires and very much appreciated by. Made itself known as the patrons of museums such as the movie the guggenheim but without anyone making the connection between their fortune and their Company Michael barrett intends to make this truth. Do you think they knew what they were doing sure they knew what they were to. Exactly what they were doing they pleaded guilty to crimes for alternately with and knowingly crossing the north of the. Thats a result of one thing. I mean dollars and they didnt hear who destroyed it what damage it caused in 2007 the company pleaded guilty to the federal accusations of misleading marketing and false advertising condemned they paid over 630 5000000. 00 in penalties and continue to sell. The settlers would never have been able to market this project. Without authorization the f. D. A. Has to control and regulate every single drug put on the market it authorized the use of oxycontin as a painkiller without a problem. Some of the same f. D. A. Officials involved in regulating the drug. Would wind up leaving f. D. A. And taking higher paying jobs for Purdue Pharma and other Drug Companies we call that the revolving door i think they should have figured out earlier than what was going on and to this day some of these same f. D. A. Officials are still at the f. D. A. And rather than saying we made a horrible mistake we have to change our policies they havent changed their policies they keep approving more opioids. Its a big day for oklahoma the attorney generals teams are facing the lawyers at the 4 companies being seized a judge has to rule whether theres enough evidence to go to trial. Approved pharmaceutical activists johnson and johnson we sued the ones that we knew about the business and falsely market it in oklahoma my goal was to let the truth come out i really hope this case goes to trial its an enormous amount of money and theyre going to fight to the death is what theyve indicated. To to try to show that they didnt cause theyre probably going to blame this on doctors and theyre probably going to blame it on people like myself who got sick. Weve probably got at least 20. 00 already known it would have been a insta spend on the fancy billions to spend on lawyers. They have no limit on what theyll spin in these cases and ship lawyer they are here from the east coast and they try other the lie as much as they can. Years of investigation and hearings for the course of history to change but the time to reckoning is common for the 1st time full napper tories will be judged. As being responsible for the crisis. One day i think they would like us to stop. And go away but were not we cant wait its trial may of 2019 were going to have her trial and were looking forward to it we believe in our case i believe in our case with every fiber of my being and i look forward to trying this case if i were the 1st case in the nation set for trial and weve been getting calls from other states we will set the precedent if i will might some history on that matter. Good history. The lawyers of the full laboratories dutch to us despite our repeated demands for now none of them has accepted to meet with us. They were smiling how does that make you feel my comeback from that party of genesee im not sure. Thats a better answer to that i. Faced him out. That on never. And that was. All. I dont know what spin of all. Since you were boyish. Please you are scared of getting hooked on drugs you know. 6 thats my biggest worry are now approaching that i dont think. Its been 3 months since cali integrated the ranch told his dad he is coming to an end he now has to leave find a new routine where paying calloused dont exist. Now that im sober and or feel a lot better more confident. Like my body doesnt hurt. Healthy. After he left the ranch moved in with his mother for a while. Hes now found a job and rents a flat where he can accommodate his son every day is a struggle. This is the final battle the one that gets to decide the fate of nicole. Her lawyer asked for just muscle of counts. The state of oklahoma once the lawsuit to go before a criminal court. I think she acted extraordinarily recklessly so what my goal is is to berks file a motion to allow the jury to hear all the other victims that died as a result from that which is off so the jury can get a picture of what she was doing here and there are many. Women died as it was why should anyone outside of medication and each one especially diabetic. You think of the evidence as absolutely failed to show. This is. The law is very clear about what is a murder case and what isnt on theres other cases and. Frankly with all the egregious conduct in this. Meeting you just see that make those or you just dismiss it so are you confident. Youre waiting for the doctor. Should be brought in and could we have an interview with her maybe later as soon as the case dismissed you. All along the hearing dr nichols seems detached from the events surrounding her but they can look on her face she will never speak as if none of this were her concern. The judge has reached a ruling. Dr nichols will be tried for murder. Its an exceptional decision on the part of the american Justice System the trial has to happen in a year or less from now on shes banned from practicing. On her lawyer have decided to plead guilty. I think its a good thing shes going to have to get a course in how to answer for what she did wrong. Its going to have to answer in front of journeymen no he added manslaughter better please he didnt dismiss it she deserves she deserves you know to go before a jury trial see and see whats going to happen with her you know my daughter to serve that they used to prescribe all kinds of dangerous drugs that we now know were dangerous about at the time they were doing the best they could to treat their patients and now theyre blaming one of their own victims. For doing the best she could with the medical knowledge she. Will love you. I miss you. I miss you hear me. I believe you hear me. Chills see. Mr ford. But through this this i can spot i can smile and say help help somebody else. Thats what i see youre. Ok i forget her. Eyes youre really do your she hears everything ive got i do i hear you here. Since that case happened dozens of american doctors have been sentenced in a court of law for over prescribing opioids. And 27. 00 states is suing the laboratories for financial losses that occurred you Pharma Company is now looking for new claims for its opioid it has created subsidiaries in asia and south america. Everywhere opioid consumption is on the increase despite patients knowing the truth. Every single culture on earth has prohibitions against. At the same time virtually every culture on earth warmer wards you enormously if you use killed the right person in one setting it is the most home runs establishing singing. And then the other setting is a little wondrous thing that they will give you more medals for that people will vote through because of the people want to mate with you because youre good at doing that sort of say. And finding another one of the highest in mcallens way or both of us in. Balloch itself want to see a. Closet this way got it all so hot. On the other decide this over the walk of life a coward and i dont mean this thought that if. This is only think that we we do this is music because everybody fights. A. Well found this bill frist within a. Given at the time of. What i think is this is the that is. Live from the World Headquarters of r t america our Nations Capital this is the news with rick sanchez well again everybody im rick sanchez to all of you who are watching us from all over the world on this very special day whether youre doing it on regular t.
