[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Medical professionals who experience addiction often have to choose between treatment of their careers because of the ability to prescribe drugs. It happens to people mid-career as well.

These are the stories our preteens need to hear. Len Bias scared the crap out of me as a teen. [/quote]

You know, you're not the first person to tell me that (Len Bias). It seems to have hit a certain generation of 1980s kids like a sternum punch. That he could go so easily was frightening. I've seen drug counsellors tell his story to kids even today. [/quote]

My husband is 40 and never tried the (abundant, would have  been free) cocaine at his college even one time because of Len Bias. [/quote]

My husband is 51.
He originally was going to go to Virginia Tech, but he decided on the University of Maryland *because* he was such a Len Bias fan... he was incredible.

My husband started at Maryland 3 months after Len Bias graduated.

My husband experimented with drugs in high school, however after Len Bias died, he never touched another drug again THAT'S how profoundly affected he was.

These stories are so upsetting.
