This is an update from my last episode. My 16 year old son had been taken by ambulance to the emergency room because he jumped from a third story window to get out of the house to chase drugs. I asked that he is FD12’d to access his mental health and all of the hospital staff who had come in contact with him, knew that he was on drugs. No one assesses his drug usage (whether he would’ve denied it or not), no one addressed his mental health and they sent him home with Percocet and a 30day supply of needles to inject himself to prevent blood clots. I felt like they was preparing him to be comfortable using harder drugs where needles would not be an issue for him, and I felt like by them not knowing what drugs he was using already, whether or not the Percocet last could have contributed to an overdose. I just don’t get it. Listen to what is happening out here on the Nations Capitol. We still are dealing with his addiction and we are nowhere!
