Working the ER smack dab in the middle of rural America, Easter Sunday afternoon, of all days, and a 19 year old kid comes in code blue after snorting a fentanyl rail with his buddies.

Over the last two years I’ve worked all over and it isn’t just this particular town or just this particular part of the country. It’s all over. I don’t have any answers, just makes me sad and wanted to share.

Unfortunately no. Think it starts at home with the family and families in general are struggling right now.

Is anybody listening to them?

rejon 2y ago

Good question

Wolf Spraul 2y ago

Yeah I'm really curious. Are we listening to one another? A lot of pain goes silent.

rejon 2y ago

Yes that’s where it begin. Will I accept pain from a fentanyl-addicted person? Have to find them first before making prescriptions

By then its too late. I lost a friend to alcohol once, there was no way to stop it. We need to listen early, even then success may not be guaranteed.

Heard a lot of prescriptions for gun violence in America this Easter Weekend and I must say, the solution in the short term might only be JESUS.
