In the case of these pharmacies- and not just West Virginia, any of the pharmacies we've looked at in the past- what we see is an anomaly in the ordering pattern where a pharmacy will go a certain percentage above ordering every month or at The End Of The Six Months they're or higher than they were Six Months Prior.
Imagine being at the forefront of a battle against an epidemic that's ravaging communities. In this episode of Cover2 Resources, former DEA official Joe Rannazzisi offers a gripping account of his experience fighting the opioid crisis. Known for his appearance on '60 Minutes' as 'The Whistleblower', Rannazzisi dives into the Energy and Commerce Committee's investigation into opioid dumping in West Virginia.
He shares his candid thoughts on the 2016 Ensuring Patient Access and Effective Drug Enforcement Act, which he believes hampered the DEA's ability to regulate rogue distributors. Rannazzisi doesn't hold back as he discusses the critical roles doctors, pharmacies, drug manufacturers, and distributors play in preventing drug diversion. He emphasizes the need for stringent due diligence and effective controls to curb the flow of narcotics.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of the opioid crisis and the challenges faced by those on the front lines. With raw honesty and deep insights, Rannazzisi paints a vivid picture of a system struggling to keep up with an ever-growing problem. Whether you're directly affected by the opioid crisis or just looking to learn more, Rannazzisi's story offers a compelling look at the ongoing fight against addiction.
