And in 1996 something happened different a Company CalledPurdue Pharmaceuticals came out with a drug called oxycontin and they started a myth and falsely promoted that opioids were rarely addict maybe only one percent of the time could you get addicted to no. That was not true then and it is not true now and never was true that was a false statement and the other companies jumped on the bandwagon of making money and the false lies spread and the false marketing spread that they are guilty of lying about these tricks and they cause this step i believe that with every fiber of my being. Back in 1906 the 1st promotional at campaign for an opioid was broadcast and 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 although. These 6 cases show how wrong those views were. In this little film the public was assured with certification. Of addiction despite its high concentration in opium to make it believable a real doctor and real patients. That this treatment usually reserved for patients in the terminal phase of cancer can be used without any danger for common pain. I can enjoy. It really enjoy it must say i have been on this new pain medication i have not missed one day of work and this medication does not turn you into a zombie it is turned me into an active person again. Whereas addiction is the 1st known risk of an opioid the figures shown by pretty farmer a purely and still be unreliable some patients may be afraid of taking opioids because they are 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 have observed patients developing addiction yet in this internal memo elaborate story keeps on encouraging us representatives to sell the cost of 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 it is used in the lawsuit filed by the state of oklahoma in order to prove its responsibility the team relies on doc to collage me. In the 1st 6 years of the release of oxycontin produce 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 a 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 with the most people showing up for treatment saying theyre addicted to pills show up as read. 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 i 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 i got my back 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 crying we need to stop saying this. Are. Still. There we follow it thank you for the milner we have we love you so much. Over and all my family in jesus christ im a prick. 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 so 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 this is 5. Thats why. I mean i dont know what our thinking miles i really dont i would like to know what her thinking was how did she think that was helping. Chelsea was 21 when she passed away the same age as kyle who still struggling for his life. Kylie has begun his 1st days of therapy at the center. And his struggle against the addiction only speech seems to be the purpose right now. Ok so what i want to do to incorporate a little bit the stuff that we this morning. Every single one of us to quote myself when we come in here all of us have a tendency for this particular thing. Several of the guys 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 lie that im well i dont feel alone anymore so. Thats thats going to feel lot better. On day 15 of his treatment 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 several have feelings and. I mean to see how i would just pass out. They may mean. Are you done. For me went to church this morning you know what. Problem. Oh ok. 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 stood on better. His relationship with me his relationship with his brother. His relationship with the son cows burned every bridge possible. Even though hes her us the most we saw after this one and still be there for him and we dont theres times we dont want to sell 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 jobs are doing and they will say that they are so hopeful when the ruling more lives in the world. And. Certainly when you are entering a completely new stage in college to assess. Not just the progress but needs to humankind i think we. Already passed the peak of this willingness to be most global and most open progress in terms of developing development of technology is the development of communication i dont think it can be stopped so. This control of this is going to addiction between the c. 5 and obrist will share point bump it will notice if you. Match geysers financial Survival Guide liquid assets not those that you can convert into caste quite easily. To keep in mind though as if you mean to place a. Record. I think the only time weve ever had any sort of opiates in the house was actually. 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 them i was so scared thats what they prescribe him he had the same exact stuff that my brother got addicted to oxy r. C. Cars. Which the street name for that is wrong and if you see this i just heroin and according to my brother there you 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 caught me lawyer ritchie with me and up to jason b. Then 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 prescribers from dennis starkers about marriage right then and there. We think that there are all the warnings if you could result you were prescribing then any of our other initiatives i think the overwhelming response. Sponsors been that the doctors that are graduating now and going out into practice are not being nice and weve seen over 20 percent decline in a prescription in oklahoma over the last 2 years and my medical students will never be involved in this over. 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 clamors 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 bush about the sack or family and back in 201514 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. Heard you farmer was 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. Their lives that they were there wouldnt they pleaded guilty to crimes for all didnt lead with and knowingly crossing the north of the. Thats the result of the one thing who destroyed what damage it caused in 2007 the company pleaded guilty to the federal accusations of misleading marketing and false advertising. They paid over 635000000. 00 in penalties and continue to sell opioids. 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 lowest of the 4 companies being seated a judge has to rule whether theres enough evidence to go to trial. Proof pharmaceutical activists johnson and johnson we sued the ones that we. Did business and call Street Market in oklahoma my goal was to have 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 us 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 or you know they have been insta spend on the fancy billions to spend on wall years and they have no limit on what theyll stray and in these cases and the ship while youre there youre from the east coast and they try other the lie as much as the. Years of investigation and hearings for the course of history to change but the time to reckoning is common for the 1st time for laboratories 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. History. The lawyers of the full laboratories duchess despite our repeated demands for now none of them has accepted to meet with us. They were smiling how does that make you feel you can come back from that injury very generously im not sure. Thats a better get out of. Phase them out. Never. And that was. All. I dont know what spirit of all. Since you were voice. Are scared of getting hooked on drugs you know. Thats my biggest worry are occurring that i 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 kelis 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 nicole. 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 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 to be evidence has absolutely failed to show. This and. The law is very clear about what is a murder case and what is an aunt theres other cases involved or frankly with. 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 could we have an interview with her maybe later as soon as because 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 and. 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 the us from now on shes banned from practicing. Nichols on her lawyer have decided to plead not guilty. I think its a good thing shes going to have to get a course in how to answer for what she did because. Its going to have to answer in front of the jury and i know he added a manslaughter a better please he didnt dismiss it and 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 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. Will love you. And miss you. I miss you hear me. I believe you hear me. With any childe see. Mr ford. Through this through this i can spot i can smile and say i hope she help somebody else. Thats what i see if youre. Ok i forgive her. I figured her really do care she hears everything ive got i do i have 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.
