By Madeleine Fraley
people in the United States died from prescription opioid overdoses, according to the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention. During
that same period, the number of drug poisoning deaths in North Carolina increased by
260 percent, according to the North Carolina
Department of Health and Human Services.
In 2014, prescription opioid painkillers such
as oxycodone, hydrocodone and methadone
accounted for more than 50 percent of all
medication or drug poisoning deaths in North
Carolina.
Brinkley said because of the stigma surrounding opioids in the midst of the current overdose
crisis, some physicians are refusing to prescribe
these painkillers in an effort to avoid board scrutiny. Some are also turning away patients they
have been prescribing opioids to for years.
There are a lot of doctors out there that are
running scared, she said. More and more people
who are general practitioners who dont want to
the investigation.
In North Carolina, there are no legal limits on how many prescription opioids can be
prescribed by a physician. But Jean Brinkley,
spokesperson for the North Carolina Medical
Board, which licenses physicians and physicians
assistants, said appropriate prescribing is one of
the boards biggest priorities.
The bottom line is that if you prescribe these
drugs, you need to do so in a manner that is
appropriate concerning current standards of
care, Brinkley said.
Brinkley said the two main ways of doing this
are by providing resources about prescribing
opioids for physicians to reference and monitoring efforts to make sure appropriate care is
being administered. The board regularly investigates physicians to determine whether they are
meeting the prescribing criteria.
This is us being proactive, Brinkley said.
Being investigated doesnt mean youre doing
anything wrong in and of itself.

When she finished, I took
one deep breath of relief. I
finally realized the bubble in
which I was constrained for
all those years had popped.
I looked around, and I did
not see my skin. I did not see

I saw not one person who

For some patients, treatment options other than opioids are limited.
There are some people
with severe chronic pain who
say that they couldnt get
through life without opioids,
Andrews said. For those people, its getting harder to get
the medication they need.
In North Carolina, overthe-counter sales of naloxone,
a drug used to reverse an opioid overdose, are legal. Ray
Clauson, community relations
director at Narconon, a group
that combats drug abuse and
addiction, said the administering drug can help save

TO THE EDITOR:
I am disappointed to read
the Editorial Board column
drawing parallels between
the plight of AfricanAmerican communities and
the coexistence between
Israelis and Palestinians.
The connection
is simplistic and illinformed. Even the column
acknowledges that there are
different contexts and then
immediately dismisses this
fundamental difference. The
necessity for meaningful
discussion and reform
between African-American
communities and police
is not in question. Rather,
as the column itself states,
the context is so radically
different as to undermine the
columns entire argument.
Israel, like every country,
has its share of flaws.
However, myopically
singling out Israel the
worlds only Jewish state
for condemnation is biased
at best, if not anti-Semitic.
The editorial makes
no distinctions between
Palestinians living in the
West Bank (Areas A, B and
C) and the Gaza Strip and
Israel proper. The political
and security climates in
each of these different areas
are varied. Above all, these
realities are not dictated
unilaterally by Israel.
Both the Israeli and
Palestinian governments are
successfully seeking ways
to elevate equal access to
higher education, natural
resources and jobs that
would better the lives of
Palestinians. Israel welcomes
innovation and growth and
was founded on inclusivity
and understanding.
Comparing the shooting
of unarmed Black men by
police officers to the free will
of the Palestinian people
undermines the very social
justice we are discussing in
America and inaccurately
depicts the IsraeliPalestinian relationship.
Carolina students deserve
more reasoned, accurate
and balanced analysis of
these two unique, complex
situations.

The inhumanity of

TO THE EDITOR:

held by the UNC Computer

CS Takes Red Lobster
Endless Shrimp!
Now, I consider myself a
decent man, not one quick
to anger, but I am dismayed
by the fact that they are
indulging in such a beastly
event as endless shrimp.
One person even went as
far as to encourage people
to RSVP soon so that Red
Lobster could have time to
haul in extra shrimp. Clearly
this individual does not care
that one third of that haul
will be bycatch, such as our
beloved endangered sea
turtles.
If you even have the
slightest appreciation for the
environment and our worlds

affair be their last.
All I request is that you
present my displeasure for
