Yes, commissioner, but if everyone was dropping of cardiac arrests or anaphylactic shock, defibrillators or EpiPens would not be nearly enough — instead it would be a tip-off to physicians to look for the cause of increased heart disease or allergies.In this case, it’s a leaky border and a supply chain of pharmaceutical ingredients including the ubiquitous piperidone — used to make fentanyl — from China and India flowing to Mexico.
Just because I have never seen a passerby administer a Narcan nasal spray to someone stricken on a New York street doesn’t mean it has never happened.Still, it is more of a symptom of the problem than a cure.
