A very interesting viewpoint from the perspective of a paramedic routinely encountering opioid addicts. The author who has changed their mindset towards opioid addicts, does make a compelling case for addicts to be treated humanely and lays out some hard-hitting facts about opioid use, and the dangers that users face. More importantly, the author makes the very scary point that anybody could become an opioid addict without even intending to, and that for me was possibly the most hard-hitting aspect of this book.
