When doctors told their reps that their patients' pain returned in much less than 12 hours, the reps -- and the company's chief doctor -- urged them to increase the dose of Oxycontin (and thus the company's profits), rather than calling for an increased frequency (or another drug). The result was that pain patients took ever-greater doses of a highly addictive drug, but at long intervals that guaranteed excruciating withdrawal symptoms for hours before they were supposed to take another pill. Their doctors then upped their dosage further, leading to even higher highs and lower lows, and more addiction, a black market, and an epidemic of fatal overdoses that continues to resonate through America's poorest communities today.
The Sackler family is richer than ever. Forbes estimates their net worth at $14 billion -- richer than the Rockefellers.
The Sacklers directly managed and oversaw the development and sale of Oxycontin, including an aggressive campaign to expand the kinds of pathologies that would be treated with the powerfully addictive painkillers. The company admitted that it knew that doctors harbored incorrect beliefs about the strength and addictiveness of its products and that they traded on this because it was making them billions.
Princeton economist Alan Krueger believes that one in five Americans who no longer participates in the labor force does so because of addiction to Oxtcontin.
The Sackler family are prominent philanthropists whose donations have bought them naming rights at some of the world's great museums, galleries and universities. But for all that name recognition, the source of their fortune is largely unknown -- according to the director of Yale's Raymond and Beverly Sackler Institute for Biological, Physical and Engineering Sciences, "neither students nor faculty have ever brought up the OxyContin connection."
нет бля я понимаю что всякое может случиться, но лучше пустить себе пулю в бошку, чем идти на поклон к недоумкам, негодяям и говноедам / мародёрам именующим себя "медиками" "фармацевтами" и блять всякими другими докотрами менгеле. Пиздуйте в ад, ублюдки. Сгинь, рассыпься! Адавра кедавра на хуй!
