Dr. David Friedman
Bookmark and Share   

According to a recent CDC report, in 2007 there were about 27,000 unintentional drug overdose deaths in the U.S. More than 12,000 incidents involved prescription pain killers. Dr. David Friedman is professor of physiology at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. He says the only way to really battle drug addiction is by first re-defining it. "The chemistry and structure of the brain changes with prolonged drug use," says Dr. Friedman. "And that's why neuro-scientists are now referring to addiction as a brain disease." He contends society can do more to reduce prescription drug abuse and deaths by treating drug addiction as a brain disease. Plus, media critic Mary Dalton says the only real sparkle about this year's Oscar nominations may be what people wear. Find out why.
