Thank you for being ÿou and being a light in loneliness darkness. Well done for getting this legislation in place. Xx

She's the attorney who represented the family of the woman in a wrongful death suit, and changed the way pharmacies and pharmacists have to handle narcotics prescriptions in the State. Pretty sure that qualifies her to speak on over-medicating the woman she's talking about.

That’s why my doctor is terrified to prescribe what I really need.

So you're not an MD but you feel that you know more about this woman's condition than her doctor! There are many people who can't receive relief from pain because of the stigma which has been put on pain medication such as Oxycodone which comes in many different strength's and has become almost a bad word. If she did have an overdose, how do you know that it wasn't intentional? Muscle relaxers like Diazepam are often very helpful for those that are in need of them and also come in different strength's.These are decision's that should be made by a Doctor along with the patient rather than painting pain medication with a broad brush which is making it harder for those that need them to get!

[@stephanietalks]

This woman died directly from being massively overprescribed narcotics and sedatives (some of which should never have been taken together) by her doctor. This fact is not in dispute. But, that's not the point of the video. The point is that there is too much loneliness in the world and we are all suffering in some way. Hence, it brings more humanity back to the world when we engage kindly with others, especially strangers. Take care, friend.

Any medical expert would’ve been able to look at her prescription list and say that what the lethal dose was. Same with potentially fatal interactions. An attorney would’ve gotten that information before going to court.

The cure for loneliness is by accepting Our Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior! that's the cure for loneliness!

really? how do you know that? Jesus was only one man who doesn't speak to you like an alive person is, is it not better to talk to the librarian than just accepting Jesus as whoever you want him to be?

He is my Savior but Im still feeling lonely and crave real human meaningful relationships. They are beyond difficult to find. Christians are the worst to try with from my experience.
