How Did America Become So "Dopesick"?
This hour: pain, pharma, and the birth of a nation plagued by opioid abuse and overdose.
We talk to Beth Macy, author of Dopesick, about her investigation into the development, marketing, and widespread effect of OxyContin -- a prescription drug produced by Stamford, Connecticut-based Purdue Pharma.
To what extent is the company responsible for America’s ongoing opioid addiction crisis? We take an in-depth look and we also hear from you.
