Do No Harm

The story behind  the PHYSICIAN prescribed drug epidemic.

“Not safe as prescribed”
Only the physician prescribing community can put an end to this man-made epidemic, now a national heroin epidemic.  Cheers for the physicians who in fact are not bowing to peer pressure; stepping up to the plate.  An epic failure of self-regulation.

 Generation Rx: A Story of Dope, Death, and America’s Opiate Crisis

Generation Rx

What had happened to my baby brother? How did a tiny little pill shatter our family? When did we first begin losing Pat? These are the harrowing questions that plagued Erin Marie Daly after her youngest brother Pat, an OxyContin addict, was found dead of a heroin overdose at the age of twenty. In just a few short years, the powerful prescription painkiller had transformed him from a fun-loving ball of energy to a heroin addict hell-bent on getting his next fix. Yet even as Pat’s addiction destroyed his external life, his internal struggle with opiates was far more heart wrenching. Erin set out on a painful personal journey, turning a journalistic eye on her brother’s addiction; in the process, she was startled to discover a new twist to the ongoing prescription drug epidemic. That kids are hooked on prescription drugs is nothing new; what is new is how a generation of young people playing around with today’s increasingly powerful opioids are finding themselves in the frightening grip of heroin.
Generation Rx offers an entirely new look at what the prescription pill epidemic means for today’s youth, and the world around them.
