Surgeon Generals advisory More should carry antidote to counter opioid overdoses.
ATLANTA — The U.S. Surgeon General issued an advisory Thursday urging more Americans to carry naloxone, which can reverse the opioid overdoses that kill a person every 12½ minutes in this country.

Dr. Jerome Adams said people at risk of an opioid overdose, as well as their family and friends, should keep the antidote on hand. Many police officers and emergency medical technicians already carry it.

This is the first surgeon general advisory in 13 years. The last, in 2005, dealt with alcohol use during pregnancy.

Why not just stop the drug from coming into the country. Seems more reasonable to me.
