Description: Dopesick. Condition is Brand New. Shipped with USPS Media Mail. Journalist Beth Macy’s 2018 book, “Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors and the Drug Company that Addicted America,” is a raw dissection of the nation’s opioid epidemic. It’s a comprehensive critique of the many factors that have contributed to this disease, with deep and incisive analysis of the role of a pharmaceutical company and prescribers in contributing to the problem, and now the work of patients and clinicians in fixing it. Macy uses personal stories to follow the threads of the opioid crisis that has blanketed Appalachia. She focuses her reporting in Roanoke, Virginia, and illustrates the impact on this community by narrating the experiences of a grieving mother, a doctor sounding the alarm, a young woman pursuing recovery, a heroin dealer expanding his network, and many more. Through “Dopesick,” Macy provides us with lessons we can use to help lessen the disease’s toll when caring for patients with opioid use disorder.
