131. Prescription Drugs Can Kill. April Rovero

April Rovero experienced every parent’s worst nightmare: the death of her son. After a dirty doctor prescribed her son opioids, mixing them with alcohol was fatal. He was only 21 years old. Disgustingly, April’s son was not her first patient to die. People overdosed in her bathroom and she didn’t stop. She would get calls from the coroner's office and didn’t stop. While she ultimately went to jail, what came out in trial makes it shocking to believe she was able to run her practice for so many years. How many millions of dollars did she make? How did April find out what the doctor was doing? Which president did April get a response from? What should you do if someone is overdosing? What can you do to not be a part of the problem? Tune in to find out!

April retired from Lucent Technologies as a National Program Management Director in 2001 after a 30-year career in telecommunications. She has a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration and a Masters Certificate in Program Management from Stephen’s Institute of Technology. April founded NCAPDA shortly after her son Joey’s accidental death on December 18, 2009, from an accidental prescription drug overdose while a student at Arizona State University. April leads and oversees all aspects of the organization and is the Chairperson of the Contra Costa County MEDS Coalition, is a Steering Committee member of both the California Opioid Safety Network and the East Bay Safe Prescribing Coalition and is an Executive Steering Committee Member of the Fed Up! Coalition.
