Today I have an amazing guest to discuss an increasingly polarizing and prescient issue ravaging cities, health care systems, and families. 

I am speaking about the unprecedented and lethal expansion of the fentanyl/opioid epidemic across North American communities. A pharmacological plague that is killing at least 85k North Americans a year. 

In aiming to explore the complexities of our modern landscape, I want to delve into the firsthand experiences of first responders tackling the omnipresent reality of drug addiction that exists in all our communities.

From the frontline of emergency response itself, we'll unravel the challenges they face in dealing with fentanyl-related incidents, the personal toll it takes on their well-being, the broader impact on community safety, and what if anything we can do about it.
