Overdose: The Opioid Tragedy in Three Acts, a book that reveals

institutions that allowed opioid makers to get away with it. The
opioid epidemic has been described as “one of the greatest
mistakes of modern medicine,” but calling it a mistake is a
generous rewriting of the greed, corruption, and indifference that
pushed the U.S. into consuming more than 80 percent of the
world’s opioid painkillers. For info, call (503) 228-4651 or visit
