Imagine being on the front lines, facing not just criminals but invisible threats like fentanyl. In this gripping episode of 'High Truths on Drugs and Addiction', Dr. Roneet Lev sits down with Sai Oikata, an emergency preparedness planner and paramedic, to unravel the complexities of fentanyl exposure for first responders.
