In this conversation, we will examine the complex and challenging environment of toxic drug and substance misuse on the streets of Vancouver and across British Columbia. We will explore the issues of concomitant drug ingestion, the use of fentanyl, the complications of mental health and the cyclical pattern of pre-hospital presentation. We will also explore the challenges of bias towards this patient group and how that can both affect care and outcomes.
