[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My niece, who was number 1 in her medical school class, recently died of a heroin overdose.  She struggled with a percoset addition (Ivy League school) in college where the health service continued to provide percoset long after she didn't need it anymore.  6 years later, 3 stints of inpatient rehab and a lot of therapy and NA.  She went back to another Ivy to get the science credits she needed to apply to medical school.  So she applied and got in.  She had been clean for 5.5 years.  Because addiction is the baffling thing it is, she tried to get some percoset.  When she couldn't, she got heroin.  What she got was mostly fentynal and she died within seconds.  her father is a very successful attorney and her mother is a well respected pediatrician.  She was the smartest kid I know.  Addiction can suck in anyone of any socioeconomic class.  Don't pretend it isn't happening around you.  [/quote]
