Purdue Pharma actually, not only did they hire doctors to go give talks, and they paid them. They paid, they called them patient advocates. They would pay actual patients to go online, go on message boards, tap the company line, how great OxyContin is.
Imagine losing your child to a single pill. That's the heartbreaking reality Ed Bish faced when his son Eddie died from an oxycontin overdose in 2001. This episode of 'The Addiction Podcast - Point of No Return' revisits Ed's powerful story, originally recorded in 2021. Through his grief, Ed transformed into a relentless activist, shining a light on the dark practices of Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family.
He founded RAPP (Relatives Against Purdue Pharma) to hold these corporate giants accountable for their role in the opioid crisis. Ed shares how Purdue Pharma tried to justify their actions and even contacted him with their excuses. But Ed wasn't buying it. Instead, he dug deeper, connecting with other grieving parents and uncovering the extent of the deception. This episode isn't just about one man's fight; it's a call to action for justice and transparency in the pharmaceutical industry.
If you're looking for a story of resilience and the fight against corporate greed, this one's for you.
