A-Stark Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 I think this is the first thing I heard on the radio when I woke up this morning. Harper and Tony "I'm going to berate the CMA and call physician-supporters of harm reduction unethical" Clement can go **** themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clever Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 So these "safe injection sites" offer them clean needles and a sanitary place to shoot up? Interesting.. maybe they should also provide them with clean heroine to shoot up with too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apache Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 it's good for the economy though... don't say that too loud, now that you're a professional your opinions become limited if you want to express them in any meaning way, unless you enjoy being called a heretic and having your professional reputation trashed The war on drugs needs to end.

Mithril Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 I'd rather have my reputation tarnished than sit by and be a yes man by adhering to popular "wisdom". Portugal is a brilliant case study of why decriminalization can work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
questforstarfish Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 WOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I did a research paper on Insite for an English class last year- there is no similar place in the world that has been studied and received as many journals and research papers written about it. And considering almost 100% of those articles have shown that the place is extremely cost-effective in the long run, decreases the number of ER visits made by injection drug users, decreases used needles and drug paraphernalia in the streets, decreases the number of fatal overdoses and public drug use, decreases the transmission of HIV and Hepatitis among IDUs and seriously increases harm reduction and access to detox and rehab, among dozens of other fantastic things, it is my opinion that the court and citizens of Canada who know anything about it (members of the community, homelessness action groups and health care professionals) would not allow Harper's lame ass to shut it down. Insite is a Godsend for thousands of Vancouverites <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apache Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 unless you've had it happen to you, they'll go for your license, send you to disruptive physician evaluations for bogus allegations, try and get patients to complain about you, give you access to their lawyers in a conflict of interest to get info on you... the process of speaking out when your regulatory body has no oversight is like being a union rep and speaking out against the mafia in the 60s I'd rather have my reputation tarnished than sit by and be a yes man by adhering to popular "wisdom".

I've been doing it all my life and probably even had some against-the-grain answers on my interview. If the CPSBC wants to enforce a cookie cutter ideology that breeds doctors with absolutely no alternative perspective, then I'll fight them on it. That's only if what you say is true.

Clever Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 I am not getting it. They inject them drug to treat them from addiction? Can someone clarify it for me? They aren't trying to treat the addiction, but rather the spread of diseases by providing a sanitary environment.

keepontrying Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Insite works, so does law enforcement in my opinion. One kills demand, the other kills supply. I don't understand why both sides can't work together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithril Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Because law enforcement doesn't kill supply; it just pushes supply to the unmonitored underground and makes the drug business lucrative for criminal organisations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
