Three out of four people addicted to heroin probably started on a prescription opioid, according to the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In the United States alone, 16,000 people die each year as a result of prescription opioid overdose. But perhaps the most frightening aspect of the prescription drug epidemic is that it's built on well-meaning doctors treating patients with real problems.

In Drug Dealer, MD, Dr. Anna Lembke uncovers the unseen forces driving opioid addiction nationwide. Combining case studies from her own practice with vital statistics drawn from public policy, cultural anthropology, and neuroscience, she explores the complex relationship between doctors and patients, the science of addiction, and the barriers to successfully addressing drug dependence and addiction.

Full of extensive interviews - with health care providers, pharmacists, social workers, hospital administrators, insurance company executives, journalists, economists, advocates, and patients and their families - Drug Dealer, MD, is for anyone whose life has been touched in some way by addiction to prescription drugs.

Eleştirmen yorumları

"A short and feisty book... Drug Dealer, MD offers a welcome mix of bracing pragmatism and well-judged sympathy, not least for patients and doctors caught in the vortex of institutional forces." ( Wall Street Journal)

Great pace and ordered storyline. Wish there were more doctors in the US with her ethical approach and clear understanding of what a pernicious demon big Pharma is and continues to be.

I would have loved to hear a further chapter on the US Gov approach to this, as wider society is affected this becomes a Pub Health issue, however the same “street” drugs in marginalised communities resulted in mass incarceration. The book was a valuable insight into the mechanisms which trap people in addiction.

Sound insight based book

I would have loved to hear Dr Lembke narrate, that would have been nice.
I found the stories useful, insightful and interesting. The reality of the opioid epidemic in America is frightening.
Being from the UK noticing the brand of the drugs being used rather than the pharmaceutical name, was interesting.
If you work in, or have or know someone who has an addiction, a good read/listen.

Honest and captivating
