Prescription Drug Film Summary

There were a few studies and invitations shown within the film. The first invitation was made from the high amount of overdoses from the prescription drugs. They had undercover investigators go into a doctor’s office. The investigators would fake what they had been experiencing like back, neck and, leg pain. Another investigation showed how people would go to a different amount of doctors to get prescriptions just to sell them on the street. One study shows that some prescription drugs were named to help with a certain disorder that actually didn’t help with the disorder at all. Also, another study showed that doctors would go to meetings to talk about what they could say and not say about certain prescription drugs for the pharmaceutical companies.
