Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company That Addicted America by Beth Macy

5.0

Such a thoroughly horrifying read. The author does a great job of describing the full scope of the opioid crisis, from historical aspects, to the rise of Big Pharma, to the explosion of heroin use. The countless personal stories are very upsetting, but necessary in order to highlight the deep ways people have been impacted by opioids and prescription drug abuse. A must read for any health care professional or anyone who would like to learn more about the epidemic and what can be done about it.
