ANNOUNCEMENT: Our treasurer reported that we are OK.
Talk, Dr. Victor Sternberg on M.D. over prescriptions re addictive Opiods,
He has a BS in Science from CUNY, a DMD from Tufts, spent 11 years
teaching at Fairleigh Dickinson in NJ, and a M.A. in Peridontry from
Columbia.
SUMMARY OF TALK
M.D.s without supervision may prescribe Opiods to about 1/6 of patients,
which when switched to heroin by user may become addictive by as many as
1/3 of users. He recommended a book called "Drum Land" by a Ms. Cuinonis.
In the last four years 50,000 died from an overdose including one child
from Briarcliff. Marijuana is regulated by New York State but not Opiods.
