May 3, 2019 By Alex Hirsch

war on opioids

At this point, everyone has heard about the opioid crisis – from the harrowing statistics indicating just how many have wound up addicted or dead, to the federal government’s efforts to limit patient access to the narcotic drug.

When administered to a person who is overdosing on opioids, naloxone can restore normal breathing if it has stopped or become slow and labored.

The Opioid Crisis

June 15, 2018 By Yenny Rojas

There is a public health epidemic that knows no prejudice.  Doctors and lawyers, housewives and honor-roll students; all races, nationalities and socio-economic strata can fall victim to it. There is no known cure except to limit exposure, which in itself can be hard.  And in this case, too much of a “safe” thing can lead to ruined lives and death.
