    I got prescribed hydrocodone because I got a nasty cut on my finger (nearly severed the tip off). I started taking it and stopped after 2 days because I was "craving" it despite taking the proper prescribed dosage. It didn't make the pain go away, I just didn't care that I was in pain, the stuff numbed ME, not my pain. I flushed the whole bottle down the toilet. It took a week before the cravings went away; I actually contemplated going back to get a fresh script but thought better of it and realized getting addicted to high-grade opioids is REALLY easy. And I got a very small dose prescribed. My mom (a retired nurse) was shocked they prescribed me an opioid at all, considering how minor the injury was (a cut finger); she advised me to just take a combo of Advil and Tylenol and it worked better than the opiate I was prescribed. I returned to work less than two weeks later and was able to function on that mix just fine.
    I imagine people with higher doses probably didn't stand a chance of resisting addiction.
    There is not a hell hot enough, nor painful enough for the people responsible for this. I'll settle for jail-time.

    My great grandpappy worked with James McKinsey in the 1930s so I can tell you first hand how evil it’s always been there.
    He was tasked to oust union heads from the manufacturing sector and sow general discord amongst the members to help out local business with costs. Things got too hot over it when a union member was shot and McKinsey ended up hanging my great grandpappy out to dry for the whole thing. Sure he loved the job of course, he was a good worker, but he was doing it on orders it wasn’t just him and he wasn’t the trigger man. The lousy hacks only paid him 3 years of severance when they let him go and only half a pension. Disgusting way to treat your top brass.
    McKinsey have never been above the board and I absolutely would not trust anything they ever do or say. If you are someone who’s currently hiring McKinsey, please reconsider and drop them.

    I lost almost my entire family including my dad to overdose and my mother to prison due to oxy. There is no justice. My sister is now recovering from addiction at 20 and I am a little more haphazard with some substances than I should be at times. Breaking the chain isn't as easy as it seems. There is no fixing what has happened, no matter what you do, our family and our life will always be irreparably damaged. And we can move past that, but we will still carry that past with us nonetheless. No matter how bad we wish we couldn't.

    My uncle was a veteran, when he did his service he ended up getting a severe injury, he didn't serve in a war he just got worked to hard and suffered the consequences.. He was honorably discharged and when he got back home to the VA in Oregon, all they did was give him a huge bottle of opioids for his injury and sent him home, giving him a severe addiction.. his wife at the time exploited this and isolated him from his family(my mom and his other siblings), he eventually left her but wasn't able to convince her to sign the divorce papers. When he died last year in November around Thanksgiving he died of a brain aneurysm caused by previous damage possibly from his time serving. I still wonder if they provided him with the care he needed and deserved when he first got back home (instead of giving him an addiction) if today he would of still been powering through life...

      Coming from another veteran, I feel ya. It really depends on where you are located. Here in Montana I have to schedule an appointment three months out - to schedule my appointment. It's garbage. The VA hospital in Helena is the only Veteran Affairs hospital serving the region between Spokane WA and Fargo ND. In the second largest town in MT we only have a 'satellite clinic' which is staffed by several nurses and a Physician Assistant acting as Dr. The last PA quit without notice and left us without professional, qualified care. I was told on the phone by a VA operator that they had hired a new PA but that there was nobody currently in place to provide care. While in Seattle I received excellent care. It's a very large organization with adequate funding and personnel. Not the case here. I reported suffering from depression with suicidal ideation and they set me up with a once a month conference call with a social worker in Wyoming. Useless. I stopped answering as the calls never fail to come at the worst time - such as during my girlfriend's brain surgery to remove a tumor. They still wanted to talk rather than rescheduling so I spent 20 minutes on the phone distracted and not really engaging. Now that I've stopped answering (nearly a year later) they send me a letter saying that they're removing me from their suicide risk classification as they have not heard from me and assume I'm doing well. Since the start I have requested a local therapist or group to attend to manage my care. Each time they have said 'we'll see if we can make that happen.' To no avail. Fuck the VA here in MT. It's less than useless. They promise a carrot on a stick (not much) and ultimately give you even less. They mailed me a workbook to fill out to help with my depression. Gee. Thanks. Homework to occupy me while I'm isolated from actual treatment. Stellar.

      Veteran here in Colorado. The VA had me taking 60mg a day of MScotin. I got an entire unopened bottle of Percocet a month ( 1-2 every 4 hours for pain) and 10mg a day of Oxy for breakthrough pain. It went on for years until I locked myself in my room for a week until I sweated it all out. I am clean now but that was the most painful experience of my life. After that I just fought and fought with the VA until they finally got me surgery's to fix the problem, not more pills. Don't even get me started on the VA and head med's either, that's even worse than the narc's.

    I am so grateful for my health and that I don't need to take any acute medication. This video highlights how we need to take care of our health as well as educate ourselves on what medication we are taking. I remember many years ago in my early 20's how my doctor wanted to put me on the pill to combat my terrible period pain I would experience each month. I told him I am not going on the pill. He prescribed a painkiller for me which I only needed to take 2 tablets each month. They were my saving grace. These days I don't even need to take period pain medication. The point I am making is that my doctor got his nose out of joint when I refused to be put on the pill. I was adamant though. I have found being on the pill affected my skin and I had blemishes all over my face. Consult with your doctor, but educate yourself as well. Don't just take their advice as law.

Literally takes over every aspect of life.. normal functions and routines become near impossible without it.. days are planned around it and even intimacy is affected.. after that even as prescribed, when it runs out and your like ok got thru the worst of it... nope not even close. Then the real suffering and control rears its ugly head. I firmly believe that a large percentage of people at a certain point despite completely wanting to stop and get back to normal, continue taking it simple because the physical and psychological sickness are so awful that it seems nearly impossible to even get thru the first 3 days... let alone the next week's and even months when the effects cause so many side effects... it's unreal. Used to be in pain mgmt for several years and I'll tell u I went thru the worst sickness 8n my life. Been years for me and I don't miss any of it !!! Take care!!

      …universally disliked at low hierarchy levels.
      Most people don’t really understand McKinsey business model and it’s consequences. One consequence is that good results always falls back on the client company in public and management, while bad results almost always fall back on the consultants in public. Hence, „outsiders“ only ever hear about the bad cases and the apparent waste of many spend on things the companies „already knew themselves“.
      Case in point: the clearly more evil company Purdue who is completely centered around knowingly selling drugs is portrayed here as almost passive while the consulting company, who likely didn’t have more than a dozen people in there for a limited time, is somehow the most evil player in this story?

Accenture is known for IT implementations with consultants staying up to years doing operative often high skill labor. Porsche Consulting has a lot of change implementations with origins in Lean production management. PWC and such are more about formal/ regulatory projects etc.
      I don’t know many consulting companies who are almost always directly hired from C-Level. This is also why McKinsey easily takes up to 30% higher fees even compared to BCG. Though that may not be accurate anymore.

First came the sports injury, then the pain pills, then the addiction, then hell for her and her family. I really don`t care how much much they were fined, it will never be enough. They should be forced to close their doors. This is not business, this is mass murder. If businesses cannot conduct themselves ethically, then they do not belong in business.

When you work for a feudal lord and your job is to collect taxes, your work ethic drives you to cast out starving families and children from their homes to die of famine. That you do it ruthlessly and efficiently doesn’t make you an admirable human being. Do you see what is going on here? Thank you and be kind.

    TW: Suicide
    My father was 47 when he decided to kill himself in 2009, one year after the financial & housing crash, during a time when alternative medicines were considered taboo. He had struggled with heroin addiction & alcoholism from an early age, and he underwent surgery to repair his deviated septum, and the doctor prescribed him Oxycontin (likely was directed to do so by the hospital/pharma). Cannabis was still illegal, mushrooms has zero credible medicinal research, I don’t think many Americans knew what Ayahuasca even was that year. He fought his fight for 8 long years, and after countless admissions to rehabs around the world, his family and lifelong friend abandoned all hope alongside him as he pled for their permission to commit suicide and leave this body behind. I was 13.
    Opium literally made my dad think he had to kill himself to escape the sheer grasp it had on him. I’m sad to say he may have been right, considering his options in 2009.
    Call out your local heroin dealer! They likely sell mislabeled fentanyl these days and cause countless deaths, blinded only behind the veil of money.
