each drug overdose as part of sales “turbocharge” strategy

Court documents released last week under Purdue Pharma’s bankruptcy process reveal that that consultancy firm McKinsey & Company advised its client to pay rebates to distributors of OxyContin whenever an overdose case could be traced back to abuse of the controversial opioid pill.

The purpose of these kickbacks or bonuses was to help “turbocharge” Purdue’s sales of the deadly drug, thus producing higher profits for the pharmaceutical giant amid escalating scrutiny over its illicit marketing and sales practices.


Though the Trump administration reportedly cut a deal with the Sackler family, which runs Purdue, to protect them from criminal liability, the company has reportedly agreed to plead guilty to criminal charges over the way it peddled OxyContin to the masses.

In a 2017 presentation, McKinsey advised Purdue to compensate distributors of OxyContin for the damage associated with their selling of the drug in order to help boost sales. These distributors include the pharmacy chain CVS Health and Anthem, which are two of McKinsey’s biggest clients.

The way Purdue hid the addictive nature of oxy was criminal. That created an addiction problem.

But the overdoes deaths correlate more with the crackdown on prescribing them and people getting it illegally, often tainted with other drugs, or switching to heroin and fentanyl.

...as long as they leave my other " happy pills " alone.

I was on Oxy's once. Yes, they kill the pain very well, but if you are off of them for even a day, you can not be too far from a toilet from then on.

I have no idea why they induce explosive diarrhea if you are off them for even a short time, but they do. Disgusting.
The delay comes when you do not time your refill request just right and there is a day or three gap.
...then you better stock up on the toilet paper and not leave the house.

*********************************************

Look, this " Opioid Epidemic " is bull$#@!. There are plenty of us that need pain killers to get through our day.

Punish the abusers, but leave the rest of us alone.

DO NOT..." kill them all and let God sort them out " as they are doing now.

So what's the difference between you and the other addicts people who require *happy pills* to get through their day?

Why should some be punished and others skate?

Extreme pain?

I got injured in the service of my country facing its enemies.
Others need the pain pills because they suffered some injury or disabling condition in the course of their life.
These people, like I, need them.

Those that should be punished are the ones that only WANT the pills to get high. PHOOK EM".


That is the difference.

Not seeing any. Thanks.

[Retirednsmilin308]

Not seeing any. Thanks.

So, you do not see any difference in someone merely WANTING TO GET HIGH...

...and a person who needs them because of a very real, disabling, painful physical injury. You think a mother injured in a car crash is on par with a healthy 20 year old who just wants to get high. That is reprehensible !!!

If you do not see any difference, then there is a void in your heart nothing can fill, making you apathetic to the sufferings of others.

...and I am wasting my time talking to anyone that cannot understand the pain of others. Thinking GETTING HIGH is just as valid a need as relieving real physical deep pain.

You have shown your mindset to me, and I feel like I have stepped in something.

***********************************************

Time to make you disappear now, so I have the joy of never seeing another thing you type for the rest of my life.

That is such a nice feature they included in the software.

Being able to make certain types vanish before my very eyes.

Oxycontin is a narcotic, and narcotic tend to "plug you up". So when you stopped taking them, basically you pulled the plug out.

[Captain Obvious]

There is a legitimate need for pain control, however the medical community recognizes that the decades ago established policy of "nobody should suffer pain" has led to a narcotic dependency epidemic in this nation and this approach of just drugging up the patient first is shifting.

A lot of people who are now dependent on narcotics believe they need pain control but really mostly it's narcotic dependency. A big part of pain management is controlling dependency first then managing pain with non-narcotic alternatives.
