FENTANYL KILLS: Desi'ree Washington's Story - episode 103

A mother, a brother, an aunt, and a friend share their story of losing a 19-year-old loved one to illegally manufactured fentanyl. Illicit fentanyl is a dangerous, life-threatening drug frequently found in other illicit drugs and results in the death of 200 people per day in the US. This is just one of those stories and delivers an urgent warning to avoid all illicit drugs.

    Many people depend on medication (that is properly prescribed to them.) Many people cannot function without this support. Perhaps you cannot relate, and if so, you are fortunate. There is nothing worse you can tell a mentally ill person than, "you just can't cope." So disgusting and insensitive. And we wonder why there is a percentage of those struggling who are afraid to ask for help... Please, have some empathy.

But who are the ones that need to teach them how to handle feelings and how to react to them: parents. So many parents are protecting their kids from any disappointments and they end up not having the tools to face adversity in life. But many kids live in an environment where everyone, including their parents, are using drugs, so they learn to cope that way. This aunt was not talking about mental health issues. That is a totally different thing.

    I'm sorry but the comment about dealing with emotions without medication isn't so nice. Some people have actual mental illnesses that require medication to help balance it out and treat it properly. I know first hand what it is like. I have depression so you're telling me to just learn how to deal with them? I have dealt with them my entire life and it's been agony. I don't sleep like I should. I don't eat like I should. I'm sad a lot and shouldn't be. So before anyone says that really stop and think about how some of us try to deal with our emotions but sadly they win and we take our own lives and stuff because it's torture. Please try and understand addiction doesn't discriminate and sometimes it's not even addiction that kills it's the simple drug itself not just the amount of it.

    No its not its really not that simple. There has to be budgeting for this and training as well as maintenance for stocking a drug on non heath professionals because NARCAN IS A drug that reverses opiods. I imagine bigger cities like L A probably can roll out such programs but smaller police departments may not have such resources. And we live in an error where you have some ppl saying defund the police for one reason or another but here provide narcan kits so it just is not so simple as police should carry narcan.

    Naloxone is the active ingredient in Narcan and is also available in many generics as a nasal spray. In fact, the brand name Kloxxado delivers a higher dose of naloxone than Narcan (Kloxxado-8mg per dose, Narcan-4mg per dose). Naloxone can reverse an opioid overdose if administered quickly enough. Some areas have Naloxone available in the brand name Narcan or generic versions available for free. It is important to recognize that Naloxone is the drug, Narcan is just a brand name. Whenever someone uses the word "Narcan" in place of "naloxone", they're devaluing all the other equally effective brand options and promoting a specific pharmaceutical company.

My community unfortunately offers very little public information about how to help someone through addiction. If it were not for my online researches, I wouldn't even know the word "Narcan".

    @@glcmranger421. I don’t disagree with your premise, but until now it rarely was deadly to try a drug the first time or even with occasional use. The parents and grandparents of these younger victims probably tried some type of drugs in late teens or early 20s (in some cases, just marijuana, or just alcohol) - and as long as they quit, didn’t make foolish decisions about drinking and driving, or being a passenger, did not become addicted, it did not lead to death. Especially if sitting at home in their bedroom, watching a movie or going to sleep. Some of the stories are about people who have been addicted, but there are many others where it was a first time use.

    If you don’t mind me asking and if you don’t want to answer I definitely understand, but are the demographics of the hospital that you worked at??? I asked that because I feel like sometimes Situations like that have to deal with healthcare disparities and that is a reason why a lot of hospitals and other employers in the medical field weren’t keeping their employees updated with deadly drugs as such. I’m also not talking about race particularly I’m talking about social classifications.

    @@courtneyjohnson6088 As a nurse we all know of Fentanyl and its use for anesthesia. That’s a given. When a patient comes into the ER as an overdose. We stabilize the patient, and they’re off to the ICU, or even sometimes go home. Toxicology tests take weeks to come back, so those nurses that had initial contact with the patient would not have access to that information. Once a patient leaves your area, you can no longer access their records. So, we never know what our patients overdosed or got poisoned by. That’s why I said I never knew about Fentanyl poisoning until these videos. We just don’t see it at my facility. We service a primarily elderly or chronically ill demographic. If someone does come in with Fentanyl poisoning, I don’t work in that area. It’s likely not that often because our leadership has never felt the need to address it. Whereas the facility where my sister works. She’s a social worker. When I asked her about it. She said it is very prevalent at her facility, and she knows about it because she has to arrange the aftercare and rehab for those patients as a social worker. Nursing is a vast field. If you’re not directly involved in those cases. If possible not to know anything about it.

They said they thought he was sleeping but the car salesman that he worked with told people how he fell straight on his face and they were still getting high.

Illicit fentanyl came up on my radar in November 2017 when one of my favorite musicians Lil Peep died from taking Xanax laced with illicit fentanyl. About a year later another one of my favorite musicians Mac Miller died from taking Percocet that was laced with fentanyl. I used to take Xanax from the streets for a couple years. Sometimes they were legit from a prescription most of the time they just came in a plastic bag. I quit using Xanax in January 2017 and have been off of pills completely since February 2017. I am blessed to still be alive today. The world has changed a lot and no drugs coming from the black market are safe.

Whenever someone uses the word "Narcan" in place of "naloxone", they're devaluing all the other equally effective brand options and promoting a specific pharmaceutical company.

    I am so very sorry and extremely touched by what happened to you. My stepson, Sullivan (Sully) passed July 22nd 2019. My biological son has been to rehab twice for these pills. I am doing anything I can to help him but he is 23 and I have to work and sleep. I am terrified of going through this with him. He is not using now but he has lost 2 friends in past month. I wish I knew how to stop this from happening. Our government needs to take action!!!!!! Enough!!! These are our babies!!!! They NEED TO DO SOMETHING!!!!!!

    Who needs to do something? What does that mean? The "government" is you. You and the taxpayers are the government. Stop looking to other people to blame for your own family members wanting to take drugs, knowing full well, they might die, if they do. It seems like so many people these days don't put any onus on the one choosing to do the drugs, they just want "the government" to save them while they continue to use. This has nothing to do with the first responders not having Narcan. The Narcan has actually just encouraged more druggies to keep using, cause "the government" will save them so they can continue to use.

    First off I would like to say I’m so sorry for loosing such a beautiful motivated young lady and second you got it right on the head about people taking these pills to mask their depression and anxiety! That’s exactly it and as a 4 months clean today actually off opiotes and alcohol I know first hand that I too was masking my severe depression. As soon as I got sublocade monthly injection for opiote addiction my severe depression has fully gone away and I haven’t touched drugs or liquor for four months or have I felt better ! I’m so sorry that your daughter never got that chance but just know this that I will LIVE MY LIFE CLEAN AND SOBER FOR DESI’REE and she lives long in my beating heart ❤❤❤ RIP sweet Angel.

    The number of deaths from Fentanyl poisoning is overwhelming. Over 103 episodes/days of grieving families telling their story of a loved one lost to Fentanyl poisoning on this channel which leaves 20,497 other Fentanyl poisoning deaths/stories that we did not hear about in that same number of days. How many planes would have to fall from the sky in a little over 3 months to equal that same number of deaths? The news would never stop reporting about all the plane crashes, yet on the ground, these Fentanyl poisoning deaths are being ignored by our government.

    Narcan, isn’t the answer. The answer is we need to teach our children how to deal with every day emotions and every day situations. As a nurse I can tell you that narcan doesn’t reverse every opioid overdose, it depends on a variety of factors; I.e. opioid taken, time taken , concentration of the opioid. We need to stop medicating our children for everything: everyday unfortunately isn’t a sunny day, some days are full of anxiety producing situations, some days you may feel sad, but these things don’t last!!!

    Some parents don't even talk with their children. I've taught my daughter to come to me and vent when she's stressed out or feeling depressed. I listen and never judge. I'm against drugs that may alter her hormones or change her personality. Praise the Lord that she trusts me with her concerns. I've also taught her about drugs, sex, shaddy people, etc...I try my best not to be a controlling parent. At a certain age we need to teach our children how to do things on their own. Make it easier as they become older. It's unbelievable how the mother is blaming the first responders for her daughters drug overdose. They didn't tell or force the daughter to take the drug. Instead of punishing her daughter, she should have seeked professional help and rehab. She ignored her daughters cry for help. Smh

    I just passed 6 and a half years clean on the 4th of this month (June 4th, 2024). My heart hurts for everyone who's lost a loved one. I just wanted to come here and say it's not because they didn't love you or feel like you loved them. The person you knew and loved was in there and they loved you as well. It's like being smothered by an oppressive blanket, that won't let the real you out. But they're in there. And they loved you deeply. I'm sorry for anyone who's dealing with this or has a loved one dealing with it. I hope you find your light

They kicked him out he died, laid there dead in there grass overnight!!! I am just now getting off of medication, anti depressant and all. I am trying to deal with this and I am in trauma therapy. No one should have to experience this pain. I am so sorry, I wouldn't wish it on my worse enemy. God please help us.
