Dopesick, Beth Macy

Thanks to @papergirlmacy for the heartbreaking intro to docs villainous (Purdue Pharma, pill mills) and virtuous (Dr. Art Van Zee), and also heroic mothers and determined nuns. In an epidemic, “The answer is always community.” Macy gets it all right: “The fix isn’t more Suboxone or lectures on morality, but rather a reinvigorated democracy that provides a pathway for meaningful work, with a living wage, for everybody.”
