Personal note on my #Dopesick review

I am proud to have been a #Nurse in our #NHS between 1981 and 2000 gaining two level 1 qualifications

I recognise the terms ‘breakthrough pain’, ‘individualised dosage’ & the pain charts the actors used as part of the story

I am ashamed to say I have used them. Albeit in good faith & unaware of what the pharmacokinetics actually were

#Pharma has genuinely helped millions. But greater regulation is needed on medical marketing to promote societies wellbeing

It’s #ReviewTime

#Dopesick is an 8 part TV series based on a book of the same name written by #BethMacy & stars include #MichaelKeaton (Batman), #KaitlynDever & #RosarioDawson

It deals with corruption, corporate & human greed, systemic public health failure & the resulting human cost. #PurduePharma produce an opioid, lie about its addictive properties, good people suffered needlesly & good people faced a long uphill battle to deal with it

It’s addictive viewing - watch it
Rating - 9/10

@QasimRashid @QasimRashid It’s disgusting. My brother-in-law, Dr Art Van Zee was the first to bring the case to #Congress and the subject of Barry Meier’s brillian book, #painkiller. Also the subject of Beth Macy’s groundbreaking book #Dopesick HBO also featured him on in their series #CrimeOfTheCentury #Oxycontin took #purduepharma from a $200M company to $2B via #pillmills and corrupt md’s. abc.net.au/news/2019-03-19/the

I went to see a physio yesterday who said I have a pinched nerve in my shoulder. Maybe it’s because I’m currently watching #Dopesick but I was surprised how quickly the convo turned to pain relief and what she could offer. I declined as it’s more discomfort than pain and I’m trying to look after my gut health, but she seemed pretty shocked tbh 🫠
