74. The Opioid Epidemic ft. Erik McIntosh

from I am Consciously Curious · host Victor Chan

Our next guest is on a mission to increase access to narcan in Chicago. He witnessed an overdose on the train and unfortunately did not have narcan on him or near him. As a nurse practitioner, we explore his journey into nursing as well as the current state of the industry. It’s experiencing shortages from burnout and the exodus of baby boomer nurses. We explore creating a culture of safety and how a mistake like giving a patient a paralytic instead of a sedative could have happened. We conclude with his initiative to increase awareness of the opioid epidemic as well as increase access to narcan. If you’re interested in following their journey, you can find them on LinkedIn. Please enjoy my conversation with Erik McIntosh. https://www.linkedin.com/in/erik-mcintosh-2644b128/https://www.instagram.com/iamconsciouslycurious
