The Vancouver Sun highlighted a UBC study that found people who receive an antidote promptly after a fentanyl overdose and show no complications require little hospital care.
“If you don’t regularly see fentanyl overdoses, you might admit a patient thinking they are at risk of becoming critically ill,” said Frank Scheuermeyer, lead study author, a clinical professor and an emergency department physician at St. Paul’s Hospital.
The story also appeared in The Province and Times Colonist.
