Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author and dynamic speaker, reveals statistics that show that Americans are more likely to meet death as a result of an opioid overdose than from being involved in an automobile accident.

ROCKVILLE, MD. June 13, 2019: Dr. John Rosa, dynamic speaker, national opioid crises expert, and co-author of The Recipe for Success with Jack Canfield, posted a new blog on his website entitled, “Cars Are Less Deadly Than The Opioid Crisis.” Dr. Rosa tells readers that the only ones benefitting from this epidemic are “the unethical doctors who prescribe” opioids and “The Grim Reaper”.

Dr. Rosa starts his blog with the following statistic from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “From 1999-2017, almost 400,000 people died from overdoses involving an opioid, including prescription drugs, heroin, or synthetic drugs like fentanyl.” He goes on to say that, “As a nation, we used to be worried about getting into automobile accidents as the most common unnatural way to meet our Maker. But now opioids have taken the lead.”

“According to the New York Times,” says Dr. Rosa, “The opioid crisis in the United States has become so grim that Americans are now likelier to die of an overdose than in a vehicle crash. That’s according to a new report by the National Safety Council that analyzed the causes of preventable deaths in the country in 2017. The probability of dying from an opioid overdose, according to the report, is one in 96. The chances of dying in a vehicle crash? One in 103.” https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/14/us/opioids-car-crash-guns.html
