"The Prescription" is a book by K. C. Gilbert that discusses the number of people affected by addictive painkillers called Opioid and Zilontin and how their manufacturers, despite being aware of their addictiveness, continued production and distribution of these drugs. The author centered his story in Nashville, Tennessee. Chris was coming from a friend's home who had just given birth when she met her longtime school best friend and teammate, Shannon Bloom. She could hardly recognize her because of her appearance. It was disclosed that Shannon had been in and out of rehab after her knee injury, for which she was administered an addictive painkiller. As a result of the addictive painkiller, she got hooked on several hard drugs, including heroin, before she met Chris. While she was with Chris, she collapsed and fell in front of the hospital, where they both stood. Chris had to call the paramedics for help, and she was rushed to the ER. Did Shannon survive? Was the pharmaceutical company producing the addictive painkillers prosecuted? Get the full details when you read this book.
Sometimes, it takes a concrete person to see the enormous damage that addictions can cause. It's not the same to see it in the news or read it as to connect with one single human or character. It's a great narrative tool for a book like this.
Thank you for your great review!
