In this episode we take a very deep dive into the topic of illicit fentanyl. We review the history of the opiate epidemic in the United States that has led us to our current time where 100,000 Americans have died of a drug overdose in the past year. And more importantly, we discuss what we as healthcare providers can do to fight back against this crisis of illicit fentanyl (and worse) in our drug supply causing so many fatal overdoses.
