Bailey Sarian: 我将讲述芬太尼在美国的泛滥成灾以及其背后的历史原因。从我个人经历的芬太尼止痛药使用开始,到其在医院的广泛应用,再到其在黑市上的泛滥和由此造成的严重后果,我将探讨芬太尼的起源、发展以及它如何成为一个无法控制的流行病。我将分析制药公司、政府监管以及贩毒集团在这一问题中的作用,并呼吁关注芬太尼成瘾危机,提供预防和治疗资源。 我将重点关注芬太尼的滥用和成瘾问题,以及由此造成的社会危害。同时,我也会探讨一些应对措施,例如芬太尼检测试剂和纳洛酮的使用。 最后,我将呼吁大家关注芬太尼成瘾危机,并提供一些可以帮助到需要帮助的人的资源。 Paul Jansen: 我致力于研发更有效、更快速的止痛药,以减轻病人的痛苦。芬太尼的诞生源于我对医学的热情和对减轻痛苦的追求。虽然我没想到芬太尼会被滥用,但我相信它在医学领域的应用可以造福许多人。 我为芬太尼的成功感到自豪,但对于它被滥用并导致如此多的悲剧感到非常遗憾。我希望我的研究成果能够被用于正确的用途,并为那些受痛苦折磨的人们带来希望。 Robert Dripps: 我从一开始就对芬太尼的潜在成瘾性表示担忧。我认为芬太尼的效力太强,容易被滥用,可能导致严重的社会问题。我曾警告FDA,如果批准芬太尼,将会引发严重的成瘾问题。 我坚持认为,在批准任何新型止痛药之前,必须对其潜在的风险进行充分评估。为了公共安全,必须对芬太尼的生产和分销进行严格的监管。 Jorge de Castro: 我发现高剂量的芬太尼可以用于麻醉手术,且不会影响患者的循环系统。这一发现为芬太尼在手术中的应用提供了新的可能性,并使其在医学领域得到更广泛的应用。 我致力于为患者提供更安全、更有效的麻醉方法。我对芬太尼在医学领域的应用感到自豪,但对于其被滥用感到担忧。 Prince: 我意外过量服用芬太尼,导致了我的死亡。我当时以为我服用的是维柯丁,但实际上是芬太尼。这提醒我们,非法芬太尼的泛滥是一个严重的问题,需要引起全社会的关注。 我的死并非偶然,而是由于非法芬太尼的泛滥造成的悲剧。我希望我的故事能够提醒人们,要谨慎对待药物,并远离毒品。 Mac Miller: 我死于意外过量服用芬太尼。我当时服用的是伪造的羟考酮药丸,其中含有芬太尼。这提醒我们,非法芬太尼的泛滥是一个严重的问题,需要引起全社会的关注。 我的死并非偶然,而是由于非法芬太尼的泛滥造成的悲剧。我希望我的故事能够提醒人们,要谨慎对待药物,并远离毒品。

Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

Last year I had a surgery so that I could breathe again, and it’s been nice, thanks for asking! I love breathing. But when I was in the hospital, the doctors gave me some really strong pain medication. 

I asked what it was, and the doctor told me it was fentanyl. At first I was like..fentanyl??? Doesn't that kill everyone? But after a few seconds hey… this is working really well. 

Turns out, Fentanyl has been used in hospitals for a LONG time. It’s used in epidurals, it’s prescribed for cancer patients, and there was a time when doctors were even putting it in LOLLIPOPS. 

Even though it feels like fentanyl came out of nowhere over the last few years, it has a long and crazy history. 

So how did America, big pharma, and a well meaning scientist create the most powerful and deadly opioid in history? WHERE is this stuff even coming from? And how did the fentanyl epidemic become a problem too big to stop? 

I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.
