Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company that Addicted America | Beth Macy

When your library holds come in all at once…way too many books! I had wanted to read Macy‘s more recent follow up to Dopesick, Raising Lazarus, but I thought it would mean more if I read her first book. Started reading Dopesick this afternoon. Macy‘s approach is to research & interview families in Appalachia, suburbs & city of W. vA & VA whose lives have been changed irrevocably by the opioid crisis.#libraryholds #opioidcrisis.

kspenmoll Barbara Kingsolver‘s Demon Copperhead sounds like a natural pairing with this book. (edited) 2y

The Vagina Bible: The Vulva and the Vagina: Separating the Myth from the Medicine | Jennifer Gunter

Shout out to the opioid crisis. This is crazy. So every year (every day even) all these women give birth, and 1/3 of them are given opioids and if 1 in 300 will end up addicted, that‘s at least 33 new addicts A DAY in America. No, this isn‘t a problem.

GingerAntics @ItsAnotherJen right? It‘s stunning to break it down like that. It‘s like, today, a classroom full of women who gave birth today, will become addicts. Tomorrow, a whole new classroom full of all new women who gave birth that day, will also become addicts. It just repeats every single day, even during school holidays and school shut downs because of a pandemic. 🤯🤯🤯 The question is, how many of these new addictions could be avoided? 4y

Dreamland: The True Tale of America's Opiate Epidemic | Sam Quinones

If you have a spare three dollars in your pocket, go buy this e-book now. It's a great introduction to how the heroin epidemic in the United States has really blossomed over the past few years and killed thousands and thousands of people. #ihateheroin #heroinkills #opioidcrisis

Wife Excellent book! I've worked in hospitals for 25 years and watched this epidemic happen. As I was reading, I kept saying "yes, yep, so true, I knew it" ?☠️ 8y

saguarosally @Wife I learned about it when my niece's ex boyfriend died, then I learned more when my niece died. 8y

Wife I'm sorry that happened to your family 😢So many, many people affected in this way. 8y

alisiakae I bought this one during Prime Day. It will be a tough read for me, my birth mother struggled with addiction (heroin in her younger years, pain meds in later years). She died of an accidental overdose at age 50. Her hometown is known for his high rates of heroin addiction. 😢 8y

saguarosally @4thhouseontheleft It's then necessary and may you get through it. 8y
