They just pleaded guilty again to felonies in. Then, if they had shut it down, then that would have happened, exactly if Purdue didn't go on with their lives.
Imagine losing a child to a preventable tragedy and turning that grief into a powerful mission. That's exactly what Ed Bisch did after his son died from Oxycontin. In this compelling episode of 'Recovery Road', Merrit Hartblay sits down with Ed to discuss his relentless fight against Purdue Pharma and the broader opioid crisis. Ed's story is not just one of personal loss but also of activism and community mobilization.
He sheds light on the manipulative tactics of chronic pain organizations that bolstered Purdue Pharma's message and the controversial bankruptcy proceedings that allowed the company to evade full accountability. But Ed doesn't stop at exposing the problem; he also talks about the crucial role parents and advocates play in this battle, emphasizing the power of social media in spreading awareness.
This episode is a deep dive into the complexities of the opioid epidemic, offering both heart-wrenching personal anecdotes and actionable insights. Whether you're directly affected by the crisis or simply want to understand its far-reaching impact, this conversation is a must-listen.
