His relationship with the son carls burned every bridge possible. Even though hes her us the most we saw after this and once to be there for him and we dont theres times that 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 the stuff is just knowing. All the all these Companies Know what their drugs are doing and they will say it they are like oh margaret youre so helpful in the ruling more lives and theyre all. Going to use theres a world of hope of a Global Solution of the whole new media mogul moves and sure theyre. Going to put it down as the guy. I use was only as a name for almost any of those was the most moved closer and. It was this room with the local news is so good she wrote both of you so. The point was being used to move the book with those girls discovering that those that would be was open to the 1000000000 users of the of the media of course really. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race based on off and spearing Dramatic Development only closely im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. I think the only time weve ever. Its my house was after my surgery last year. At that time we knew about it way ahead yeah we did yeah i assured my mom wouldnt let me take care of and i was so scared thats what they prescribe him he had the same exact stuff that my brother got addicted to oxy. Cause. Which the street name for that is roxy and if you see the fact is heroin according to my brother there even were addicting one 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 calls 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 called out me lawyer reggie with you and dr jason beam and theyve all gathered to establish a common fight plan against every single laboratory. Case. Dr beaman has created the 1st College Education program with the country on pain killers addiction. And also what provide education to all of the 1st drivers from dentists doctors and back in areas right then and there. We think that that will do more to the result you were prescribing than any of our other and. I think the overwhelming response has been that the doctors that are graduating now and going out into practice are not person and weve seen over 20 percent decline in perception is in oklahoma over the last 2 years my medical students will never be involved in this overprescribing behavior and 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 vocal harmonies 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 wanted to show you that appeared for about the Sackler Family and back in 2015 they had 14 bay and one of the richest families in the United States and theyve sold more than 35000000000. Dollars worth of oxy since it was really just. Boarded 952 by the central brothers. Until then did 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 doing. Theres that they were there would and they pleaded guilty to crimes for alternately with and knowingly crossing the north of the oxycontin thats resulted in the one thing for sure that they were my. I mean billions of dollars and they didnt hear who destroyed it what damage it. Into. 1007. 00 the company pleaded guilty to the federal accusations of misleading marketing and false advertising condemned they paid over 635000000. 00 in penalties and continue to sell. The sack clothes would never have been able to market this product 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 of the 4 companies being sued a judge has to rule whether theres enough evidence to go to trial. Approved pharmaceutical. Johnson and johnson we sued the ones that we. Did business and call Street Market in oklahoma my goal is to have the truth come out i really hope this case goes to trial its an enormous. And theyre going to fight for that this is what theyve in. To try to show that they didnt cause us theyre probably going to blame this on doctors and theyre probably going to blame him. On people like myself who got sick. Weve probably got at least 20. 00 for being on it they have billions to spend on the fancy billions to spend on lawyers and they have no limit on what theyll spin in these cases and they ship lawyer they out here from the east coast and they try other lie as much as they can. 86 years of investigation and hearings for the course of history to change but the time to reckoning is common for the 1st time full laboratories will be judged as being responsible for the crisis. One day i think they would like us to stop. And go away were not we cant wait to try may of 2019 were going to tee up for trial and were looking forward to it we believe in our case i believe in our case with every fiber of my being that 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. Its a good history. The lawyers of the 4 laboratories duchesse despite our repeated demands for now none of them has accepted to meet with us. They were smiling how does that make you feel maybe you could come back from that jury verdict didnt say im not sure. Thats a better answer to that and im not going to. Phase them out of. That on everybodys will. And that was. All. I dont know would spend of all. Since you were mobbed boyish. Are scared of getting hooked on drugs you know. Thats my biggest worry are occurring that are often just ask god. Its been 3 months since col reintegrated the ranch his death is coming to an end he now has to leave find a new routine where paying calloused dont exist. Now that im sober an awful 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 dr nichols her lawyer asked for a dismissal 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 that jury to hear all the other victims that died as a result from that which is all so the jury can get a picture of what she was doing here you are not going to die as it was why should you not like the medication and each one especially time that it. You think to be evidence has absolutely failed to show. This is. The law is very clear about what is a murder case and what is not there. Other cases involving. Frankly with. Egregious conduct in this. Meeting you just see that make those or you just dismiss its very confident im so. Youre waiting for the doctor. Yes you should be writing could lee had an interview with her maybe later as soon as the case dismissed it. 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. Dr nichols on her lawyer have decided to plead not guilty. I think its a good thing shes going to have to go to course and have to answer for what she did wrong. And should have to answer in front of journeymen know it at a manslaughter better at least he didnt dismiss it she deserves she deserves you know to go before a jury trial and see and see whats going to happen with her you know my daughter to serve that are used to prescribe all kinds of dangerous drugs or that we now know are 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. I love you. I miss you. I miss you hear me. I believe you hear me. Be. Mr ford. But through this this i conspired is while its a help help somebody else. Thats what i see if youre. Ok i figure. I figure were really here is she here. We are yes i do know 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 the clergy Pharma Company is now looking for new claims for its opioid it has created subsidiaries and asia and south america. Everywhere opioid consumption is on the increase despite patients knowing the truth. I think one lesson we ought to have learned. From those vaccines have to be acceptable to the population before they are rolled out in a society because then walks acceptable there is a real risk undermining faith in the vaccination system. And i think governments are under such pressure to introduce a vaccine rapidly that the willingness to consult and to ensure acceptability or somehow a new growth or. A new gold rush is underway in ghana thousands of ill equipped workers are flocking to the gold fields hoping to strike it rich heres the good. As they are by those that work children are torn between gauld digitization my family was very poor i thought i was doing my best to get back to school which side will have the strongest appeal.
