I haven't started, but this one is on my radar. I'm a Rosario Dawson fan, so that got my attention.

It makes me think of just how close I was too. I have a chronic knee condition, and the ortho I was seeing from ~08 - ~11 was just giving me an endless script for Lortabs. If I had started going just a little earlier…just got around to watching episode 8. Just fantastic and sad. Only thing they really didn't get into was how it contributed to the heroin crisis that we have now. I guess they didn't want to get too far into speculation. But when they shut down the pain clinics, that is where the addicts had to turn. I was going to one of those pain clinics at around this time (03 through 05). I had legit back x-rays but it was pretty clear they weren't even needed. You just told the doctors what you wanted - just like that. Most everyone that walked out, did so with 3 scripts. Pain pills, a benzo and a muscle relaxer. I think the only thing that kept me from ending up like most was that my drug of choice was always alcohol. I don't know how much Purdue's aggressive sales tactics led to all those pop up pain clinics but clearly, from the tactics outlined in this series, they didn't have a problem with the extra income.
Added to my watchlist, thanks.HBO's "The Crime of the Century" has the story in about 4 hours total, two episodes
Yeah, I felt the same way...
