American AGONY: The Opioid War Against Patients in Pain

Managing pain with opioids is a science—except politics, money, and overzealous law enforcement are denying American patients the relief they so desperately need. Demonizing the best pain reliever we have leads to needless suffering, even suicides, and it drives the rise in deadly street drugs. Helen Borel gathers and presents the evidence, the intimidation, the raids of clinics, the chilling effect on those very professionals we trust to care for our loved ones and ourselves.

She looks hard at the Veterans Administration, Drug Enforcement Agency, Department of Justice, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Chapters include “The Suboxone Hoax, ” “The Wrong Arms of the Law, ” and “The Epidemic of Death, ” plus an entire section on solutions for this widespread crisis. Read American AGONY now—or you might be the next one hurt.
