The price for a package of two auto-injectors in the US, however, has increased from $690 in 2014 to $4,500 in 2016

Nacan is the "generic" version of Naloxone, right? and costs like $150 per use I think

it’s the doctors and drug manufacturers fault

For the most part it was not doctors fault,of course there was a few doctors that were unethical and crooked,ordering drugs inappropriately for the money.
If anyone was responsible besides drug companies it was Joint Commission For Accreditation.They were very much in collusion with the drug companies in pushing opioids.They started huge campaign to alleviate pain at all costs.They pounded medical professionals to basically give pain meds to anyone that wanted them.They started crap about pain as “5th vital sign”.,”pain is what the patient says it is”.A lot of the material they presented as “pain control education” material was written byPerdue Pharmaceuticals.
Our hospital had “clipboard”nurse that went around everyday monitoring our charts for JCAH compliance,one of the things she looked for was that we were following JCAH guidelines for pain control.She would actually wake patients up and asked them if they’re pain was being addressed.Woe be it to any nurse or Dr. if the patient said they were having pain that wasn’t being addressed,no matter how comfortable patient appeared or what their vital signs reflected.
JCAH is one of those entities that was started for a good reason but has gotten too powerful and have piled regulations upon regulations to the point they are oppressive and detrimental to patient care.
It’s very easy to believe that JCAH was being paid off by Perdue Pharmaceuticals to push opioids,West Virginia is suing them in addition to the drug companies.
If physicians as a whole are at any blame for all this opioid mess,it is the fact that doctors are notoriously bad at sanctioning their peers for poor or dangerous practice.In a medical community it was pretty well known who were the drug pushing doctors.
To be fair nurses aren’t much better at peer review and discipline.

I will tell you this, the addicts that I have met on their recovery journey, are THE MOST sincere, honest, and LOYAL people I have ever met. They are grateful for their lives and they put in the work each day to encourage others to obtain/maintain their own sobriety.

foh

I would argue heroin, oxycontin and fentanyl are a bit worse than narcan.


You're saying you would rather an addict just kill themself rather than having a chance of recovery. That's some Mein Kampf type ideology
