Hi guys! Hello world! I’m Jelena and I am currently 21 years old working at a family practice as a medical assistant. Every day I see prescriptions written for #180 quantity of Oxycotin or Vicodin (pain killers) and every other day I hear of a patient passing due to over dose. It completely blows my mind, and breaks my heart. I am currently a student at Central Arizona College aspiring to one day become a nurse practitioner and I’m here to raise awareness because one day I will be put in a place where I have to sign off on opioids for a patient, and I want my patient’s aware, as well as others – that pain killers aren’t always the only answer. Not many of us see how important and how deadly these opioid drugs can be, and that’s why I am here today. Trying to raise awareness of this disgusting addiction. Not only is it a disgusting addiction, but these drugs are the #1 cause to child defects. Yes, pregnant women are putting their unborn children in danger.
Stick with me, and read along. Maybe you’ll learn a thing or to about these deadly pills which are ruining lives.
