I hope, after you listen, that you will share the episode with basically anyone and everyone you know who will listen, because I believe that not enough people understand what has happened in our country since The Mid -90s, when Oxycontin was introduced.
Ryan Hampton’s passion for helping those affected by addiction is unmistakable. In this episode of 'Hopestream', host Brenda Zane sits down with Ryan to discuss his eye-opening book, 'Unsettled: How the Purdue Pharma Bankruptcy Failed the Victims of the American Overdose Crisis'. Ryan, who served as co-chair of the official unsecured creditor's committee (UCC) during the Purdue bankruptcy process, shares his firsthand experiences and the disheartening realities he uncovered.
He was one of only four victims on the committee, alongside representatives from big insurance companies, hospitals, and pharmacies. Ryan entered the case believing that exposing the Sacklers and mobilizing against Purdue would bring justice. However, he soon discovered that behind closed doors, justice faced stiff competition from powerful interests. 'Unsettled' offers a raw account of Purdue's grueling Chapter 11 proceedings, the company's restructuring, and the Sackler family's evasion of accountability.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the opioid crisis and the systemic failures that continue to affect public health. Ryan's personal journey through the bankruptcy process highlights the need for greater transparency and accountability in addressing addiction and its impacts. Tune in to hear about the frustrations, battles, and hopes for a better future for those impacted by the opioid crisis.
