TY - GEN T1 - The age of fentanyl : ending the opioid epidemic A1 - Ramin, Brodie, 1982- LA - English PP - Toronto PB - Dundurn YR - 2020 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/ebsco_acadsubs_on1128816522 AB - "Is there a way to end North America's opioid epidemic? North America is facing a crisis. The first warning signs appeared in media reports of OxyContin abuse and over-prescription in the 1990s. Today, there is an opioid epidemic -- fentanyl is the leading cause of overdose death in North America. From his perspective as an addiction physician working on the front lines of the epidemic, Dr. Brodie Ramin discusses the disease and the cure. Looking beyond the obstacles, The Age of Fentanyl brings the hopeful message that just as patients and health care workers rallied together to fight the HIV epidemic one generation ago, a coalition of patients, advocates, scientists, doctors, and nurses are finding solutions and making plans to stem the overdose deaths, block the spread of fentanyl, and end the epidemic."-- OP - 223 CN - RC568.O45 R36 2020 SN - 1459746716 SN - 9781459746725 SN - 1459746724 SN - 9781459746718 SN - 9781459746701 SN - 1459746708 KW - Opioid abuse.
