LET'S PUT SENIORS BEFORE ADDICTS

The Editor,

Re: "Narcan on heaven's door, Part one," the Now, March 24.

I read Part One of Amy Reid's series of articles with interest.

What a waste of our tax dollars and our already overloaded and failing
medical system "by saving the lives of people who overdose
repeatedly."

How about sharing some of that money and medical attention with our
seniors who have worked, paid taxes and lived productive lives and who
now have to choose between food and their medication?

Shame, shame, shame on this province.
