Manufacturers of prescription opioids offered assurance in the mid-to-late 1990s that these drugs wouldn’t make patients with pain into patients with substance use disorders. Some physicians believed them and prescribed these drugs without appropriate regard for their addictiveness, contributing to prescription and street opioid misuse that has reached alarming proportions. This issue considers ethical questions that contextualize the opioid epidemic from social, cultural, and policy-based perspectives and illuminates potential solutions.
Volume 22, Number 8: E645-750
Le dernier numéro en date du journal d’éthique de l’American Medical Association. Son contenu confirme ce que Patrick Radden Keefe a montré dans « Addiction sur ordonnance » (traduit et publié par C&F éditions). Notamment un article par Andrew Kolodny sur le rôle (par inaction et complaisance) de la Food and Drug administration dans le déclenchement de la crise, une auteur largement cité par P.R. Keefe.
