DOPESICK Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company that Addicted America

In this razor-sharp indictment of the government, doctors, and Big Pharma, Beth Macy, author and narrator of this audiobook, exposes their attempts to control what is now an epidemic of opioid addiction among people of all walks of life in our nation. Doctors who do not understand the depth of the problem are overprescribing pain medications for small injuries and creating drug addicts in the process. Macy describes the many failed attempts to correct this in a tone that reflects her advocacy and caring as she reveals her findings. She strains to put a reporter’s neutrality into her delivery, but her words reflect a reality that cancels her effort. Macy’s pleas for change need to be heard.
