The easy as a small town just under 40000 people its hard to find a family here that wasnt either directly affected or knows somebody who was.

P. s in westminster spending 3 years and piles of taxpayers money by declaring over to leg breck said ok perhaps it was a little rogue to disrupt the queens Summer Holiday in scotland and maybe suspending parliament was quite drastic for whats supposed to be a parliamentary democracy thats. Carney taking back control but then this is Boris Johnson whos never been one for the convention and it has been 3 years already just about every hour for new explored every negotiation tactic used every amendment can sit so maybe just maybe bush is going to get his way britain away from brussels altie london.

Called drooling this week against pharmaceutical giant johnson and johnson has found the Company Guilty of contributing to americas Opioid Crisis details after the break. Join me every 1st week on the alex simon sure and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business im sure business ill see you there. Welcome back earlier this week a judge in oklahoma ruled that the drug maker johnson and johnson is responsible for driving the states Opioid Crisis and ordered it to pay a 572000000. 00 fine he said the pharmaceutical giant a drone a false and dangerous Marketing Campaign was downplayed the risk of addiction and directly contributed to deaths and johnson has said that it will appeal that decision another Pharmaceutical CompanyPurdue Pharma as also come under fire this week recently unsealed Court Documents it was revealed the Company Funded advocacy organizations which served from groups screenshots of email correspondence published in a multi district opioid lawsuits have led to accusations the giant corporation called americas biggest drug epidemic we reached out to Purdue Pharma for comment we await any response nevertheless the company itself admits people affected should seek help as soon as possible while bird you farmer is prepared to defend itself vigorously in the r. P. I. Actually its a geisha the company has made clear that it sees little good coming from years to waste food suggestion and appeals to people and communities affected by the opiate crisis need help now. In the late 1990 s. Prescriptions for painkillers were made readily available as pharmaceutical companies assured doctors that their patients would not become addicted but it quickly became clear that many people were in fact becoming dependent with deaths from opioid overdoses reaching a record high of 42000 in 2060 and the following year the government declared a Public Health emergency currently an estimated 130 americans die every day as a result of opioid medicine obese Health Crisis is also pressing a huge strain on the u. S. Economy and reportedly encouraging high rates of heroin use addiction specialist an 11 to told us that with the pharmaceutical industry and doctors have failed in their duties to customers and patients. Well doctors certainly there are some responsibility for the opiate epidemic but i think to really understand how this happened in the United States its necessary to realize that a whole generation of physicians was educated to believe that opioids are not addictive as long as youre giving them to a patient in pain and this was a massive that was eagerly adopted by produced by johnson and johnson by janssen by t. V. By many other opioid manufacturers why because it helped their bottom line to sell more opioids so certainly doctors have to be reeducated as they are now they have to withhold opioids they have to stop prescribing opioids for ankle sprains for chronic pain conditions we would not want the pendulum to swing in the opposite direction and for people who really need opioids not to be able to get them so finding some kind of middle ground is going to be essential.
