The opioid crisis has a 'hidden' brain injury epidemic
About this episode
For years, Canada has wrestled with an overdose crisis, with thousands of people succumbing to the deadly effects of toxic drugs like fentanyl.
But there’s a second brewing crisis involving those who don’t die after overdosing.
Ottawa Sun reporter Andrew Duffy joins the show to discuss the effects a non-fatal overdose can have on a person, how that may manifest in an already vulnerable population, and what stresses it puts on the health-care system.
