Publisher's Summary

OxyContin, a potent painkiller containing
opium-derived oxycodone as its key active ingredient, was first sold in 1996 as a treatment for cancer patients and
other chronic pain sufferers. From the start, the drug's manufacturer aggressively marketed its patented
time-release formula as a breakthrough in the effort to reduce prescription drug abuse. It
wasn't long, however, before thrill-seeking teenagers shattered that illusion of safety; by simply crushing an
"Oxy," they were able to tap into a high so seductive it would come to dominate their lives. Some patients,
seeking relief from pain, also found themselves drawn to the drug's dark side.  

Pain Killer takes
listeners on a journey of discovery that begins with the true story of Lindsay, a high-school cheerleader in Virginia
who gets hooked on Oxys, and expands outward to explore the critical issues of legitimate pain management,
prescription drug abuse, and how the misuse of science by the drug industry threatens the
public good. With the fast-rising abuse of prescription drugs by young people ringing alarm
bells within government, the how and why behind the OxyContin disaster is a gripping listen not only for parents, but
also for medical professionals, community leaders, business executives, and all those concerned with this crisis.  

The dangers described in Pain Killer also reverberate far beyond the threat from a single drug at a particular
moment in time. The focus of our government's war on drugs has clearly misled many of us into thinking that only
illegal drugs smuggled from beyond our borders can be abused. As Meier tells the dramatic story, some of the most deadly
substances are produced and sold legally right here at home.  

The extraordinary and true story of Oxycontin 


Equal parts crime thriller, medical detective story, and business exposé, Pain Killer takes a
hard-hitting look at how a powerful drug touted as the salvation for millions triggered a national tragedy. At its
inception, the legal narcotic OxyContin was seen as a pharmaceutical dream, a "wonder" drug that would herald
a sea change in medical care while reaping vast profits for its maker. It did do that; but it also unleashed a public
health crisis that cut a swath of despair and crime through unsuspecting small towns, suburbs, and cities across the
country. As reports of OxyContin overdoses made front-page and network news, doctors, narcotics agents, regulators,
industry executives, and lawmakers raced in, scrambling to slow the damage. Behind it all stood one of America's
wealthiest families, and a drug company whose relentless promotion helped fuel the problem  

Written by
award-winning journalist Barry Meier, whose special report in the New York Times triggered national interest in
OxyContin, Pain Killer chronicles the rise of the multibillion dollar pain management industry and lays bare its
excesses and abuses.

Critic Reviews

“Fascinating.” (The New York Times)

“A timely, compelling, important book.”
(The Seattle Times)

“An absorbing indictment of the modern health-care marketing industry, which, as
depicted here, has blurred the line between medical ‘education’ and shilling.” (Publishers Weekly)
