Opioid epidemic:
Overprescribing leads to
addiction
By: Kristine Bulaong
What is opioid epidemic?
 Opioids are particular category of drugs used to alleviate pain. Due to
overprescribing of these illicit drugs, patients become heavily dependent on these
drugs. Thus, leading to addiction. Truly a pain free life is what people wish to
obtain but other abuse this form of relief to forget or avoid problems they are
personally dealing with.
How the opioid epidemic started…
 Peter Amoroso mention that a in 1980 a paper was released stating that opioid are
not addicting. This was due to “opiophobia”, which is the fear not managing pain.
 In 1996 Purdue Pharma with Abbot agreed to produce opioids that have longer
effects to treat hospitalized patients.
 2017 was the start of “long lasting” opioid drugs. Meaning the pain relieving effects
of opioids last longer with one drug.
Individuals involved in the opioid
epidemic…
 Katherine Theisen mentioned the involvement of surgeons that lead to
overprescribing of opioids.
 Greg Jones mentions the events and who are involved that lead to the epidemic.
 Peter Amoroso wants to bring awareness to this issue.
 Ryan McBain mentions what the CDC is currently doing to resolve the mater.
Questions I have about the opioid
epidemic…
 What is currently being done to solve this epidemic?
 Are the current methods working in decreasing or resolving the issue?
 Will improving the education system of health profession resolve the issue?
 In what way can we educate the public about this problem?
My viewpoint about opioid epidemic; I
agree with…
 Katherine Theisen wrote an article about the involvement of surgeon’s
contributing to the opioid epidemic. In the article she mentions assessment of pain
management of patients, health insurance policy, and drug companies that pushed
physicians to overprescribe opioids. I agree with Katherine Theisen on how
physicians are the last barricade that has lead to this epidemic. It is on the choice of
the heath profession to can save or ends a persons’ life. Every health professions’
priority is the patients’ well being.
