My reaction to the video released by the San Diego Sheriff’s Department that shows what they claim is an overdose after the deputy comes in contact with Fentanyl. Fentanyl OD from a contact exposure is next to impossible and I intend to break down what is seen in this video to help correct a common medical myth within the law enforcement community. This video is not intended to belittle or harass this deputy or the department.
