Panas Lee, Campbell Kevin, Haberlin Karin, Lambert-Wacy Dawn, Leeper Tracy, Reynolds Mark, Wright David. This analysis is part of a larger project through which we trace how different technologies of whiteness (e. Representations of drugs and the people who use them are influenced by the complex intersections of class- and race-based disadvantage ( Pruitt 2015).
The Affordable Care Act requires population health outcome assessments as a basis for clinical reimbursement. When an epidemic is coded as a middle class white, largely suburban problem, different representational strategies and interventions are invoked. While media reports constructed a white opioid user who is sympathetic and blameless, the sheer numbers of opioid users and the escalating rate of overdose deaths demanded a response. When Tamryn moves into her billionaire boss's mansion, she is so innocent and doesn't know what to expect. If affluence is a constitutive element of whiteness ( Pruitt 2015), then the loss of that affluence (whether realized or aspirational) is tragic.The media has long played a central role in fomenting drug scares and perpetuating racst stereotypes (see for example, Reinarman 1994). I keep hearing about how people get over prescribed medication because the doctors are corrupt and don’t care. If you are accused of being a “dirty doctor,” it means that the prosecutor believes that you intentionally deceived or misrepresented health care transactions for personal gain. Part of the implied tragedy is that of squandered whiteness and a system of advantages to which black and Latino people have limited access. When the story opens she is getting dropped off at the emergency entrance by her father, Charles Biddle the CEO of the hospital, to get a deep cut in her hand stitched up.
A dirty doctor who secretly filmed female patients for sex kicks during appointments in a “massive violation” has been jailed.
Alexander (2010), Wacquant (2009) and others make the case that the criminal justice system is, in effect, a new state-sponsored racial caste system.
Seeking acceptance, he became a user, then a dealer, which gave him ready access to cocaine, meth and ecstasy. News stories set in rural white communities used coding strategies similar to accounts of opioid use in suburban communities.Nonmedical prescription stimulant use among college students: why we need to do something and what we need to do. According to the FBI, health care fraud causes tens of billions of dollars in losses each year and can raise health insurance premiums, reduce benefits and coverage and compromise the quality and safety of health care. Regular and thorough hand washing can prevent a large percentage of hospital-acquired (iatrogenic) infections.
During the crack cocaine epidemic of the 1980s-90s, for instance, policy responses rested on demonizing black and Latino crack users, while leaving relatively untouched white powder cocaine users. In the face of such a “threat” and the increasing porosity of the boundaries between racial groups, the maintenance of geographic boundaries between Black and white becomes ever more imperative for those wishing to maintain white racial dominance. To date, we have seen no move to similarly criminalize white suburbanites for their illegal use of prescription opioids and heroin, even though the scope of this epidemic far exceeds that of crack in the 1980s and 1990s.
Although the long history of racializing accounts of drugs and drug use continues today, their racial coding is more subtle than in past accounts. Louis County were arrested early Wednesday as part of a large-scale effort by federal and local authorities cracking a heroin trafficking operation. Because of drugs, people normally expected to be “productive” cannot fulfill obligations and expectations (a neoliberal) society has for them. She currently resides in Los Angeles, CA with her dog, Ketchup, and enjoys glamorous walking ("hiking"), dive bars, and authentic Italian cuisine.
