Imagine losing a child to the very drugs you dispense. Dan Schneider, a Louisiana pharmacist, faced this heart-wrenching reality when his son Danny Jr. died in a substance-related shooting. In this gripping episode of 'Heart of the Matter', Elizabeth Vargas sits down with Dan to discuss his relentless quest for justice and his crusade against the opioid epidemic. Dan's story, which gained widespread attention through the Netflix docuseries 'The Pharmacist', is a powerful testament to turning grief into action.
Dan takes us through his painstaking journey of secretly recording conversations, staking out doctors' offices, and gathering evidence to expose the overprescribing practices that fueled the crisis in his community. His determination to hold powerful figures accountable is both inspiring and eye-opening. But it's not just about seeking justice; Dan emphasizes the crucial role of family support and community action in tackling addiction.
This episode isn't just for those directly affected by addiction; it's for anyone who wants to understand the human impact of the opioid crisis and what can be done to combat it. Dan's message is clear: we all have a part to play in making the world a better place.
