I just spent some time with a father after a CPR on his son. Drug paraphernalia was present and he had a history of possession of illegal drugs. The term “drug overdose” is not accurate and family thinks it’s a suicide when you use it. I explained that any dose can kill at any time and it’s a crap shoot if it will take your life or not to use illegal drugs. Father was beating himself up because he didn’t see the “suicide” coming. I very much doubt it was a suicide, just accidental death using recreational drugs.
Ti, i think what you do is amazing. i could not do it. The amount of heartache that you have to deal with in your job is astounding. A lot of it senseless.
No different than the father of a homosexual man who contracts and dies of AIDS. Again, risky behavior which can lead to death.
