It's worse now. I have a friend who's a paramedic in Providence, on most days she spends her whole shift going from one overdose scene to the next, sometimes the same house twice in a day.

The next overdose call sometimes comes in while they're transporting the previous.

And it's not junkies in the ghetto. It's middle class suburban kids 15-25.

A good friend of mine is a cop in an upper middle class Massachusetts town. Almost on a daily basis now he's finding people passed out in cars after shooting up... not overdosed usually but just asleep after shooting up a bit too much.

The old timers in the department say it was never like this.
