Description
This interesting collection of essays by illicit fentanyl experts is essential for all communities concerned about fentanyl poisoning people. One important community is families with children; this book will help them know what to do if their child is poisoned with fentanyl. If their child appears dead, with greatly diminished vital signs, the child may not actually be dead. How does one recognize such a situation, and how does one "bring back" their child? Answers are in this book, to be used in consultation with their family doctor. The information will also be beneficial to those in government, educational institutions, and other organizations involving children.
This anthology includes detailed national statistics on illicit fentanyl deaths, described fentanyl overdose rescues by an emergency room doctor, personal stories from parents who lost children, and information and advice from state drug officials. Those interested in better understanding the current status of illicit fentanyl and those who want to protect their families from illicit fentanyl can find needed information in this interesting book.
