    Casebook

    Pitt, Allison L., et al. “Modeling Health Benefits and Harms of Public Policy Responses to the

    US Opioid Epidemic.” ​American Journal Of Public Health​, vol. 108, no. 10, Oct. 2018,

    pp. 1394–1400. ​EBSCOhost​, doi:10.2105/AJPH.2018.304590.

    Opioids are being subscribed and not always necessary. The source is well at

    explaining why not to have opioids and why they cause so much harm to the body. This

    is very important when understanding who is at fault for being in the opioid crisis in the

    United States. The source is written by two PhD doctors which gives them credibility.

    The two of them are also doctors in the ER so they are in the path of dealing with the

    Opioid crisis. The question is does this source explain who is at fault and it does. It

    explains why the physicians are at fault.

    Middleton, Jennifer L. “How Family Physicians Can Combat the Opioid Epidemic.” ​American

    Family Physician,​ vol. 96, no. 6, Sept. 2017, pp. 357–358. ​EBSCOhost​,

    b=mnh&AN=28925644&site=ehost-live​.

    The article most focuses on the fact that family doctors can help people fight the

    addiction especially since there patients trust them more than a doctor at the ER. When

    going to a family doctor it often is more familiar and comfortable. The person addicted

    needs that more than a doctor they have most likely never met except after an overdose

    has already occured. The doctors are also the ones that prescribe the medications like

    opioids but not normally the family doctors so people may have a hard time trusting that

    as well. The source is credible based on it is written by a medical doctor.


    Smith, David E. “Medicalizing the Opioid Epidemic in the U.S. in the Era of Health Care

    Reform.” ​Journal Of Psychoactive Drugs​, vol. 49, no. 2, Apr. 2017, pp. 95–101.

    EBSCOhost,​ doi:10.1080/02791072.2017.1295334.

    The article is describing why the opioid crisis is so severe and how the crisis got

    to this point in time. It also describes the rates of the epidemic and how it has risen over

    time. White young adults are the ones that are making the rates go up the minorities are

    flatlined in the rates staying constant. The source is written by a first hand doctor that has

    seen what is happening in the crisis.

    Lipman, Arthur G. “The Opioid Abuse Blame Game.” ​Journal Of Pain & Palliative Care

    Pharmacotherapy,​ vol. 30, no. 1, 2016, pp. 2–3. ​EBSCOhost,​

    doi:10.3109/15360288.2015.1137379.

    Most people state to believe addiction all starts with a prescribed pill and then led

    to the want for more. Which in turn supports the idea that doctors and medical

    professionals are to blame for the opioid crisis. The source is written by a medical

    professional and uses many logistics to support the claim.

    PURCELL, MICHAEL J. “Settling High: A Common Law Public Nuisance Response to the

    Opioid Epidemic.” ​Columbia Journal of Law & Social Problems,​ vol. 52, no. 1, Fall

    2018, pp. 135–177.

    rect=true&db=sih&AN=132765006&site=eds-live​.

    The article discusses what an opioid is and how the problem has accelerated so

    awful. It is also a valuable article due to it describing how the drug interacts with the
    body. So even though it is credible based on logos it is useful for the intro with giving

    background information.

    Kumar, Jai, and Larry Greenblatt. “How North Carolina Hospitals, Health Systems, and Care

    Providers Are Uniting to Fight the Opioid Epidemic.” ​North Carolina Medical Journal​,

    vol. 79, no. 3, May 2018, pp. 177–178. ​EBSCOhost,​ doi:10.18043/ncm.79.3.177.

    This article evaluates how a state is taking action to stop the epidemic. The state is

    taking the time to explain how to be safe taking opioids, how they affect your body, and

    how overdoses occur. The article is valuable based on that it addresses ways to stop the

    opioid epidemic. The article was written by the institution in North Carolina that actually

    went in and did a full interviews and research in the hospital.

    Teitelbaum, Jacob. “THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC: Finding Natural Solutions to This Deadly

    Crisis.” ​Chiropractic Economics​, vol. 64, no. 16, Oct. 2018, pp. 10–14. ​EBSCOhost​,

    b=ccm&AN=132458452&site=eds-live​.

    The article relates back to celebrities that have died of opioid epidemic and that it

    can happen to anyone. The start of the addiction is being given pain medicine after a

    surgery or something similar to that. Opioids affect the brain as a whole and are rough to

    say the least. Addressing that is important to understand how people go from a soccer

    mom with a bad back but still normal to dead on an overdose. The article is using logos

    based on it is written by an MD and the statistics.
