No good reason for the opioid epidemic: Clinical trial showed no “significant difference” in pain relief for treating arm or leg pain using opioids vs non-opioids
There is a lot of finger-pointing going on when it comes to the cause of the opioid epidemic. The pharmaceutical companies making these drugs often get the bulk of the blame, with the doctors who prescribe them following closely behind in the culpability leaderboard.

Over-prescription of antidepressants polluting oceans and threatening sea life
Our actions can affect the environment in many ways, and some are more obvious than others. Throwing garbage into the ocean, cutting down trees, and pumping toxic chemicals into the air out of factory smokestacks are clearly harmful to our planet, but other actions are destroying the earth much more quietly.

Nursing Homes abusively drugging elderly patients with mind-altering drug
We’ve heard a lot in recent years about nursing homes overmedicating their patients with psych drugs to sedate them in order to make them easier to manage, a heartless practice that puts their lives in jeopardy.
