Contrasts: ReadingMore ImportantJohn Updike writes the required pages on golf in his 1999 brick, which is a collection of his reviews and other tidbits. He loved to play golf. In addition to sex, golf served as his metaphysical stand-in for a significant deity in his short tales, articles, and introductions. And this is what he wrote: What a wonderful thing a swing is, what an endless source of discipline and education! If I’m a fair example, the average golfer is hooked after his first good stroke; the ball seems to fly into the air on its own—a flying speck created by the effortless airiness of an unintentionally accurate hit. The ordinary golfer then spends decades of agonizing afternoons trying to retrieve and control the delicate wildness of that first sweet swing. Has any athletic movement ever been so challenging and enigmatic?Decades of torturous afternoons spent attempting to heal and tameThe statement made by Beth Macy’s Dopesick (2018) that Brian compared his first intravenous injection to “shooting Jesus up in your arm” struck a terrible and tragic chord with me. In your thoughts, it resembles a white explosion of light. On a cloud, you’re floating. The first time is the best, but you don’t realize that yet. You’re only after that initial high after that.

Purdue distributed 15,000 copies of the OxyContin movie I Got My Life Back: Patients in Pain Tell Their Story before the end of 2000 without sending it to the FDA for approval, as required by the FDA. The film, which may be viewed in doctor’s offices, praised OxyContin’s impact on patients’ quality of life while downplaying its dangers. The novel phrase “pseudo addiction,” coined by the doctor-narrator, describes how opioid-seeking individuals may appear to be drug addicts because they are seeking pain relief, but in fact, their actions are relief-seeking behaviors that are misinterpreted as drug addiction. Then he reiterated Haddox’s favorite soundbite, which was that less than 1% of patients developed an addiction to opiate medications. This assertion was based on a 1980 letter, written in one paragraph, to the editor of the New England Journal of Medicine. One of the authors would later clarify that the letter was never meant to serve as a conclusion regarding the dangers of long-term opiate usage, yet it was frequently invoked throughout the first ten years of OxyContin’s existence. Like an old-fashioned game of telephone gone horribly wrong, this letter about an unrelated initiative was repeated and modified at Dine n Dash gatherings and in doctor’s offices from the coalfields to the California coast until its contents no longer resembled anything close to the author’s intention.
