    Harold Shipman Morphine

    Dr. Harold Shipman admitted, as a college student, he took a very keen interest in drugs while at the Leeds University medical school (England, 2015). Dr. Shipman equally shared an intense interest in his mother’s morphine treatment as she battled lung cancer when he was still a teenager (Harold Shipman, 2014). He strongly believed this drug was instrumental in alleviating her pain up until she passed away (Harold Shipman, 2014). Soon after Dr. Shipman completed medical school and was working as a general practitioner, he became addicted to Pethidine. After his troubles with drug addition, he once again worked as a family doctor (Harold Shipman, 2014). Morphine became Dr. Shipman’s murder weapon of choice. Pathologists stated at the murder trial this was the cause of death for the majority of Dr. Shipman’s victims (Harold Shipman, 2014). It was also proven that he had illegally stockpiled morphine by forging prescriptions, over-prescribing, and collecting unused morphine for his deceased patients (Harold Shipman, 2014).…

    Opioid Crisis Case Study

    My mother is from a small town called Richwood, Ohio which is located about forty-five minutes north of Columbus. This town and area have been affected significantly by the opioid crisis. Heroin has primarily been the main opioid used in this area. The town of Richwood has changed over the last five years or so. I visit this town in Ohio roughly three to four times a year. Comparing it from the years when I grew up to now you can see a very evident difference mainly in the local economy. The town has seen a car dealership close down after over thirty-five years of existence called Mills Chevrolet and Pontiac (T2Buck.com 2009). Other businesses include the Cardinal grocery store located in Richwood. The decline of these small businesses has taken a toll on the local economy. However, many people in the area are known farmers. This industry has essentially kept this city alive. A business in Richwood called Parrot Implement Company provides farming equipment to the residents of Richwood and the surrounding area. This business thrives in this environment which has become a solid local source of employment in different fashions. While other businesses thrive in Richwood, the closing of some has led people to take an…
