“You don’t think of medical professionals doing this, but 10% of medical professionals divert drugs. 10%… That’s a lot.”
That’s an unbelievably high percentage.
Googling around, I see
One in 10 healthcare workers misuse drugs (or alcohol) during their career, which is similar to the percentage seen in the general population; however, the diversion trend is slightly different in healthcare, as workers in this setting are more likely to misuse prescription drugs rather than illicit drugs.
Which is very different from the quote in the article.
Water is more dangerous than fentanyl. Got it.
Edit: I meant this is a joke. Apparently this joke about water was a little too dry.
Water is more dangerous then fent, in your blood.
So when you cut yourself or scrape your knee, dont rinse with water! Rinse with fentanyl. Its safer.
Got a list or map of the fentanyl springs in my area?
it’s the same map as the one with all the hot single moms in your area
Just move to Chicago. They got rid of their acid rain, now it’s just fentanyl rain

Check your downtown neighborhood is my bet.

Non-sterile tap water being injected to people who are pretty much definitionally very sick.
If you did that to a regular, healthy adult? Likely no big deal, though I certainly wouldn’t recommend it. But to someone, say, recovering from a major surgery who’s in a lot of pain? Extremely bad plan.
So these 9 people could be alive if this nurse/fentanyl thief injected them with saline instead of tap water .
The hospital probably tracks saline bags, but the nurse could have at least invested $1.50 on a bottle of distilled water.

We don’t know that. The fact they died after the nurse pulled this fuckshit does not indicate they would not have died if she hadn’t.
Probably would have went easier though.

TAP water?
I don’t even DRINK the tap water my city gives out, as I know it causes stomach aches. If a stomach struggles with something, the thought of putting it into someone’s veins… yeesh.
idk why you are getting downvoted. Tap water in a lot of parts of America is polluted from old plumbing, this is established fact. That’s why most people have filters.
Depends on where you are at, but the bigger issue isn’t minerals or even lead. It’s the microbiology both in the water and general environment.
Don’t know why you got downvoted, the article literally states tap water isn’t sterile and will cause major problems.
I suspect it’s people in areas with decent tap water using their personal anecdotes as evidence that tap water doesn’t give stomach aches.

I’ve heard about this happening several times over the years, and back in 2022 I had surgery where the fentanyl just didn’t work afterword.
Now I’m wondering if there wasn’t any fentanyl that I was dosed with at all. I’d guess regular saline. 10% of diversions is enormous.
I thought I was reading The Onion at first
