Amazing that what appears to be the lead law firm in suing the 3 largest drug wholesalers and 3 major chain pharmacies (CVS, Walmart, Walgreen) is claiming that they WON THE WAR ON DRUGS – apparently by causing untold number of chronic pain pts are going to be indiscriminately denied their medically necessary pain medication for their chronic health issues.
I think that it is interesting that the law firm admits that they are using all the media’s routine talking about OD’s involving “fentanyl”, with seldom mentioning that the opioid that people are dying from is an ILLEGAL ANALOG being provided by China & the Mexican cartels, while at the same time the media shows a graphic of the FDA approved Fentanyl and seldom/never do they mentioned that it is actually a POISONING.
Attorney Mike Moore seems to state that these large corporations won’t go bankrupt, but what happens if these major wholesalers and/or major chain pharmacies decide to stop inventorying controlled meds and/or wholesalers only sell control meds to hospitals and nursing home pharmacies. Are these law firms indemnified for any of the consequences to chronic pain pts for not being able to get their medically necessary controlled medications?
We have all seen/read about pts who were cut off from their medications because the DEA raided a practitioner’s office. Some committed suicide, some have died from cold turkey withdrawal. Some will end up using/abusing NSAID’s, alcohol, Acetaminophen trying to reduce their torturous intensity of pain. Many will end up with liver, kidney damage, heart attack, stroke and eye damage.
The three major drug wholesalers that settled, controls about 80%-85% of all Rx meds to pharmacies. The typical community pharmacy may have up to 30 days of inventory on hand. So if a wholesaler notifies a pharmacies they will no longer be getting controlled meds from their wholesaler. Within 60 days, most of the pharmacy’s chronic pain pts will be in cold turkey withdrawal.
One can only guess how rapidly the average life expectancy of all these chronic pain pts will decline?
