1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,960 Speaker 1: I'm Clayton English and I'm Greg Glad and this is 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:11,039 Speaker 1: a war on drugs. Quick fix, Greg, what's going on 3 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 1: with back? Man? We are back? Could hear your voice? Clayton? 4 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 1: You too? Brother? Another quick fix? This one is with 5 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: Maya Salavitz. Editor Nick was obsessed with this and he 6 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 1: wanted it in the show. And you know, Michael booted it. 7 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: He he's the reason we have in quick fixes because 8 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 1: he cuts all this good information out and h I 9 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 1: think he gets paid by the episode, and so the 10 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: more quick fixes and something he takes out of the 11 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 1: full one. Oh he tacking on, Yeah, you owned something. 12 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 1: If it's one thing we learned here, it's followed the money. Yes, yes, 13 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: we've learned that on this podcast. It was right our 14 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: noses the whole time. So let's get into it. Man, 15 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: this is something I didn't know. I didn't know that 16 00:00:54,680 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: police were allowed to I let Maya tell you. So 17 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:09,040 Speaker 1: we have just created a medical system and a pharmacy 18 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: system that is all about policing. I mean, law enforcement 19 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: can look at your prescription drug records, oftentimes without a warrant. 20 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: And this is particularly problematic for trans people because the 21 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: testosterone is a controlled substance, so they can tell if 22 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: you're trans they can tell if you're anxious. All of 23 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,759 Speaker 1: this without a warrant. How is that even legal? Yeah? Yeah, 24 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: it's like everybody's like hip hippa, hippa, Like, oh, I 25 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: can't tell you my vaccine status because hippa, Well, hippa 26 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: doesn't protect you against the one thing that most people 27 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: really want to be protected against, which is police going 28 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: into their medical records. But if you have a medical 29 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: record of any controlled substance from you know, valium to 30 00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: OxyContin or testosterone, they can look. In many states, they 31 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: can look without a warrant. And most states have interconnected 32 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: their prescription monitoring programs with those of other states, so 33 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: they can look across state lines too. And I don't 34 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: know how that gets policed, I mean policing up the police, 35 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: you know. And then there are these algorithms that are 36 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 1: made by private companies that you know, troll this data 37 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: to try to find out who's at high risk, and 38 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: you know, it pops up a red flag when a 39 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: doctor sees one of these patients and like, oh, look, 40 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: you've been to twenty doctors. Well, actually I go to 41 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: an academic practice and they're all part of a team. 42 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: And that's why it looks like I'm doctor shopping, but 43 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: it doesn't distinguish between that and actual doctor shopping. And again, 44 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: if somebody is actual doctor shopping, right, they need help 45 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: not to be hut off. I didn't know this was 46 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: something that was being done or could be. Yeah, it 47 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: feels like, you know, I'm even though I'm inturning, like 48 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,119 Speaker 1: I did not want to get in like healthcare law 49 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: or anything like that. So I know, just like a 50 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: little bit about hippo. But man, I really thought that 51 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: your stuff was pretty much protected. Um. And again, the 52 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: war on drugs, it's kind of like civil as sports 53 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: or no knock Warren, Like, you think you're safe in 54 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: your home, but this kind of allows that that door 55 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: to open. And and you know, drugs are a gateway 56 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: drug to your your home, your healthcare records, your privacy. Um. 57 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: And I was blown away by what my you know, 58 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: I had to say about that. So I'm sure you 59 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 1: were too. I saw you. I saw your mouth just 60 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: drop when she was talking. And me too. All this 61 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: because of the War on drugs. Exactly. I'm Greg Glad 62 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: and I'm Clayton, English and this has been a War 63 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: on Drugs quick Fix Thanks for listening.
