Description
Examines the case of Dr. William Hurwitz, a pain specialist sentenced to twenty-five years in prison for drug trafficking as a result of prescribing highly addicting opioid painkillers, such as oxycontin. Raises questions into setting limits on the prescribing of opioids and whether or not "overprescription" should be treated as a criminal offense.
