Episode 70 - Bad Medicine by Charlotte Bismuth

It's rare that a pharmacist can find a book that talks about the opioid epidemic that surprises them. Bad Medicine does just that. Author Charlotte Bismuth joined me on this podcast to share some of her book, her work in the New York Office of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor and the Case against Dr. Stan Li and even what she has found about Purdue Pharma offering rebates for overdose deaths. This truly is an eye opening episode for many reasons, and we even discuss the role pharmacist have played and can play in fixing it.
