Drug abuse handbook
- Bagikan:
ways that were inconceivable only a decade ago.
In the preface to the first edition I also complained about the slow progress being made in more
traditional, less “exotic” fields. The advent of the phenomenally popular
CSI
television show helped
raise public awareness of crime scene investigation. Industry is certainly aware of the amazing
progress and has not been slow to capitalize upon it, even to the extent of funding some badly need
research. The same kind of progress in understanding the effects of drug abuse has not occurred
in the field of pathology, or any other medical specialties, for that matter. To the best of my
knowledge, during the last decade, The National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) has not funded
even a single pathologist interested in studying the effects of abused drugs on the heart, or pancreas,
or any other organ in the body; no pathologist sits on any of the NIH review boards. Some might
say this is the very opposite of progress. There is very little difference between the way doctors
treat cases of drug toxicity nowadays and the way they did so 30 years ago. The last really great
advance in this field was the introduction of naloxone. “Compassionate,” or not, the medical
management of sick drug users is no more a priority of our current administration than of the
previous one.
