OUD Decoded - The Rise of Fentanyl: Eli's Story
Manage episode 456687249 series 1282468
Three months after Dr. Beth Weinstock’s 20-year-old son, Eli, tragically died in 2021, the coroner revealed that his body contained both kratom, a legal herbal supplement, and fentanyl—something Eli never intended to ingest. His death highlights the deadly rise of fentanyl, which contributed to over 107,000 drug overdose deaths in the U.S. in 2022, with synthetic opioids like fentanyl involved in 67% of those cases. In this conversation, Dr. Sol Behar and Neda Frayha speak with Dr. Weinstock, a Family Medicine physician and founder of BirdieLight, to discuss Eli’s story, the fentanyl crisis, and practical harm reduction strategies clinicians can use to prevent further loss.
