the original concept
361

wasn't to promote OxyContin.
362

Purdue didn't want anyone

we were editing the video.

Hospitals, doctors,
think tanks, and even the FDA
1000
00:49:00,771 --> 00:49:04,358
are rethinking the very nature
of pain treatment.
1001
00:49:04,358 --> 00:49:08,446
And what we've learned is
that opioids, certain kinds,
1002
00:49:08,446 --> 00:49:12,116
are not nearly as addictive
as they have been perceived.
1003
00:49:12,116 --> 00:49:13,868
Narcotics can be abused
1004
00:49:13,868 --> 00:49:17,121
and are not appropriate
in all instances.
1005
00:49:17,121 --> 00:49:20,124
But when properly
prescribed by doctors,
1006
00:49:20,124 --> 00:49:23,961
they almost never lead
to addiction.

[applause]
1008
00:49:28,466 --> 00:49:30,551
In most immediate‐release
opioids,
1009
00:49:30,551 --> 00:49:35,306
blood plasma levels spike
between euphoria and pain.
1010
00:49:35,306 --> 00:49:37,308
But OxyContin's
time‐release system
1011
00:49:37,308 --> 00:49:38,517
causes blood plasma levels
1012
00:49:38,517 --> 00:49:40,478
to have
fewer peaks and valleys,
1013
00:49:40,478 --> 00:49:42,521
creating a plateau effect,
1014
00:49:42,521 --> 00:49:46,984
which results in less euphoria
and less potential for abuse.

00:49:46,984 --> 00:49:51,489

do your patients
typically have?
1055
00:51:16,615 --> 00:51:19,868
Many of my patients
are miners,
1056
00:51:19,868 --> 00:51:23,330
so I see back injuries,
shoulder lacerations,
1057

broken hands, things like that.
1058
00:51:25,666 --> 00:51:27,876
And you would say,
in your experience,
1059
00:51:27,876 --> 00:51:32,089
pain is part of everyday life
in the mines?
1060
00:51:32,089 --> 00:51:34,717
Yes, it is.
Yes.
