As the inspiration behind characters in the award-winning books "Dopesick" and "Raising Lazarus," Ed Bisch shares his journey of turning personal tragedy into a force for powerful change. Following the heart-wrenching loss of his high school son to an OxyContin overdose early in the opioid epidemic, Bisch took on the daunting task of raising awareness about the dangerous drug. More than that, he confronted the influential pharmaceutical company behind OxyContin's production and marketing.
In this episode of Grieving Out Loud, dive into the compelling story of an ordinary man on a mission well before the opioid crisis gained widespread attention. Bisch sheds light on the persistent challenges faced by the nation as it grapples with its deadliest drug epidemic to date.
