"My daughter, Jack, was a mother of three children. She became addicted to oxycontin, it was a prescription from a doctor - very common story. When it was determined that she was addicted to the drug the doctor dismissed her as his patient without any other type of care provided. No psychiatric counselling and no addiction treatment. So she very quickly went to the street, and when she couldn't find heroin she turned to fentanyl." - Donna May, of Anyone’s Child: Families for Safer Drug Control, at 8:00
