Zusammenfassung:[...]traumatic injuries and violence kill more Americans under age 45 than do cancer, heart disease, hypertension and influenza combined, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data indicate. According to the CDC, 105 Americans die from prescription drugs overdoses, mainly painkillers such as oxycodone (Vicodin) and hydrocodone (OxyContin).That's more than 38,000 deaths annually-up more than threefold since 1990.
