  1. We were at the hospital again yesterday for @Tree. Another rough day. We made it home after a few hours in the ER and she is OK now, sleeping off the experience.

    The hospital and ER were full so while we were there we had a range of people flow through the beds beside us. An older gentleman with heart problems, a drunk man with heart problems, and a young woman, quietly crying for hours, coming down after an opioid overdose, confused and scared and hopeless. Occasionally sharp and upset, but mostly just quietly crying, talking.

    It is so sad the human suffering we have allowed our society to tolerate.

    I am so grateful we have good people; doctors, nurses, care aids, clerks, attendants, paramedics, even kind security guards and police, taking care of people. And I am glad all this is done without concern for financial ability to pay.

    I wish our system was better in so many ways, not least in the ways it could help Tree. But in other ways, it is very good, and doesn’t get credit for just how good it is. Most of that is down to the people within it.

    Most people, especially detached from money or power, are good. This is reinforced for me everytime I go to the hospital and see the random strangers that are there for every conceivable reason.

    They just want to be happy, be secure, be with family, be occupied, be healthy.

    That’s what I see at the hospital. People wanting to be happier, and people trying to make that happen for them.

    I hope one day that young lady finds the people she needs to help her stop crying.

  3. The federal ban on funding fentanyl test strips is already hitting local programs hard. Baltimore cut overdose deaths 40% using these tools — now they have to choose between strips and wound care kits. Harm reduction isn't enabling. It's the first handshake that leads to recovery. You can't help someone who isn't alive to be helped.

  5. A veterinary sedative called medetomidine ("rhino tranq") is now showing up in about 35% of opioid samples at CDC testing sites. Naloxone can restore breathing but can't reverse the sedation. The withdrawal syndrome is severe enough to require ICU care. This is why harm reduction isn't optional — people need to know what's actually in the supply if they're going to survive long enough to find recovery.

  7. Oder #Fentanyl, da wirds vllt. noch deutlicher.

    Den Shit hat die OK jahrzehntelang überhaupt nicht angefasst weils die Konsument*innen halt viel zu schnell zerstört.

    Bis der Staat Millionen Menschen erst in die Opioid-Abhängigkeit und dann auf den Schwarzmarkt getrieben hat.

    Ab da wars natürlich ein Geschäft dass die OK nicht links liegen lassen konnte. Aber "erfunden" haben es die legalen #Verbrecher.

    Bloß mit so Infos kommste zur Masse nich durch. Die hören lieber #Konserven beim lügen zu.

    Nurse drugged and impaired with fentanyl, while working at hospital...

    (in #Chattanooga, #Tennessee 2025)

    He "was slurring his words and struggling to stay awake while on duty in the surgery center"

    "the nurse failed a drug test and was fired"

    "nurse later admitted that for months he had pilfered and abused #fentanyl"

    John A. Stevenson, RN, APRN

    Tennessee Board of Nursing did NOT revoke his license. His license is ACTIVE. He can legally work as a nurse or APRN.

Cobb Courier: At a Tennessee Hospital, a Nurse Stole Fentanyl and AI Missed It, State Records Say. “The hospital uses the newest line of defense against drug diversion: Sentri7, medication-monitoring software powered by artificial intelligence and designed to detect missing drugs faster than any human can.
