Nicholas Kristof authors a blistering op-ed in The New York Times today. The piece is titled, "Drug Dealers in Lab Coats."
The sheer numbers (profits, bribes, deaths) are staggering and the malfeasance and lack of public or political corrective action is sickening.
The article is an excellent follow-up to the work of the Washington Post and "60 Minutes."
Canada is no different.
We scurry to revive overdose victims on the street. That's a good thing. But we offer them no hope for treatment, recovery and a sober life and we would never dare to sue pharmaceutical corporations, or pharmacists or doctors. My goodness no. But that is exactly what some folks are now doing south of the border.
Attention must be paid.
