Re: Oxy
I had a client who was one of the first patients given large doses after Perdue got FDA approval. He had such a terrible intestinal disorder that he was hospitalized for 9 months and his doctors were certain that he'd never make it.
Because the pharmaceutical company told them that that Oxy wasn't addictive, the doctors pumped him full of huge amounts of it for his entire hospital stay. By the time he was discharged, the medical records indicated that he was exhibiting drug-seeking behavior and had become a problem. So, of course, they gave him absolutely no prescription medication and booted him out of the hospital to fend for himself.
Fast forward three years, and he's buying pills on the street to feed his addiction and selling a few on the side to make ends meet. He gets convicted for two separate drug distributions, one involving two pills, the other three. And then he gets caught going into Tennessee to buy pills for himself. That was his third felony drug offense, so the Feds picked the case up------>Boom. Career offender. 15-20 years.
So, yeah, drug companies are pure evil, and Clark can GGP.
