This book takes an in depth look at the fentanyl crisis currently gripping our country. It looks at the actions of such governmental agencies as the DEA, DOJ, FDA and SEC to see how they took us from an opioid epidemic to a fentanyl crisis. Access to pain medications is looked over the years. The author discusses the pitfalls of discount cards and negative effects the pharmacy benefit mangers are having on the prescription world. Big chain pharmacies are compared to independently owned pharmacies and we see how the big multi-billion dollar fines handed down by the DOJ are negatively affecting people's access to pain medications. Great read for the healthcare provider and the layperson alike.
