There is no "epidemic" nor is it a "disease." Junkies are to blame. People need to stop excusing and enabling their bullshit. No one gives a fuck if you OD'd. You're a victim of your own making. Someone having their leg blown off from treading on an IED is a survivor, not some junkie slag.

Typical far-right logic.
Too short-sighted to realize that addicts are made, not born.
MOST happy-go-lucky frat boys with an endless supply of pussy (yes I said “pussy”, so sue me) do not turn to hard drugs as a “coping method”.
But some of those suffering from inner turmoil, shit luck, mental and emotional deficiencies, rough upbringing, etc do.
Would you rather sit next to a “deadbeat junkie” or a sadistic serial killer like David Parker Ray?
I’d opt for the former option. But alas, that’s just me.

3. Your dad was made of sterner stuff and I suspect he would have agreed with my post 100%. AS A DOCTOR, you have spent enough 36-hour red eye shifts around the water cooler to know most of us think this way. Or else you went into private practice after residency and have forgotten what it is to deal with the 3 AM ER crowd.

You sound an absolute prick. no personality. Almost robotic. I reckon you have narcissistic personality disorder and most doctors actually are functioning psychopaths as shown by many studies, so that would explain your inhumane reactions.

Yeah, I was reminded of the doctor who drowned his wife in a bath in Utah.

I would bet every single person going on about junkies in this post has never even known one, spoken to one. Just seen them on the street and thought baah scum! Just to make yourselves feel better. As for the doctor, why do you do that job if you hate it? Are you a moron?

This. People out of touch with the drug issues in America.

Government trying to solve a problem that is self solving if they would stop meddling in it and stop sending EMT'S when someone takes too much. How many years have they been fighting this and not winning. Winning is when we let this work out on its own.

This may have been the dumbest post I have ever seen on here. It will never work itself out. People don’t expect to OD so they aren’t just going to quit because someone with Narcan or EMS might be called. I hope you never have someone you love go through this. It is HELL for them and their loved ones.

Exactly. When dickheads start to get it through their thick heads that most addicts are not doing it for the high but to escape their reality, the pain in their heads from their pasts, then maybe we'll start getting somewhere. These dickheads who think they're so much better, i only hope karma shows you a little of what these people go through, you'd prob piss your pants.

Well said, what most of these morons, never understand the need to escape reality for the moment is natural, it's done through listening to music, watching movies or sports and religion, it also includes alcohol, drugs, hell gaming and even over eating. It is like the scene in the movie Traffic, where Michael Douglas is lecturing his wife out over his daughter's drug use while he admits to having a drink "to take off the edge". This crisis will not end as long as it is treated as a Law Enforcement Issue and not a Health Care issue. Oh and one more thing, more of this stuff is coming from China, and one can't pull this stunt without the knowledge of Beijing. So will the US government call out China, like it does Mexico, Colombia and others? Money says no.
