My son just died of an overdose on the 1st of February. He had been home about a week from a 60 day Rehab stint and was in a good mood. We were going to go look for a car for him to get a job. I'm still waiting on the toxicology report. My heart is broken.
I'm so sorry about your loss. I pray for your peace. 💞
So sorry...
I’m sorry for your loss! I cannot imagine the pain feel! Sending love and prayers!
My deepest sympathies go out to you as you mourn the loss of your son. I sincerely pray that you will be given some measure of peace and comfort as you grieve so that eventually you will be able to think of him in the light of love and joy.
My deepest sympathy to you an your family❤

Stay strong, I went cold turkey with alcohol 5 years ago. One day at a time, one moment of a time. Stay close to your supports. You can and will do this, your life will thank you❤
You will do it. And you’ll be grateful to yourself FOREVER.
All best mate. Get on with healing ❤
Doc, it was a Super Bowl party. They drank alot of beer, smoked weed and probably did a few lines of coke that they did not know was cut with fentynal. The backyard dudes probably passed out and froze, the indoor dude passed out and did not come to for a couple of days. The illicit drug supply is tainted everywhere now. Recreational drug use has always been risky but today it is like playing Russian Roulette.
i had a narcotic pain pill addiction for 15 years that built my tolerance up so much that I was using fentanyl towards the end of my addiction , i call it the soul snatcher because it will control your whole entire life!! But currently i have 5 years of sobriety and was one of the lucky ones to make it out alive. 🙏 prayers to all the addicts that still suffer
I absolutely agree!! And that’s awesome!! For me, it was 14 years of narcotic pain medicine (and I also started using Fentanyl towards the end). I have almost 3 years sober this year!
So proud of you ! That's not easy,So many people are and were addicted to opiates!

I had 7 years clean & sobor when I had my daughter. I told the nurse I did not want pain meds unless it was Ibuprofen she told me the doctor wouldn't give me ibuprofen I would have to take Dilaudid and the morphine prescribed. I stood up for myself and she wrote heroin user/ drug addict on my paper work I did not find this out until my child's 3rd doctors appointment where i was treated like a criminal. I never did heroin and bc I stood up for myself I will be forever tarnished because no one at the hospital believes the nurse was at fault. All bc they were trying to push these meds on me I didn't want in my body. My child's doctor wanted proof I was off drugs I told her I didn't have to prove anything to her and took my daughter to a new doctor. I currently have 13 years clean and sobor and it's still on my record any doctor I go to can see this nurse wrote this that I was using during my pregnancy. Standing up for yourself can also put you through hell for the rest of your life.
I've seen mother's in recovery have heroin addicted babies but for these doctors to be so ignorant to not test and prove this nurse wrong and take it off my record I will never know.
I am so sorry this happened to you! You can sue them to get your record corrected. You shouldn't have to be continually punished for addiction illness.
Addiction is only a branch on the mental health tree.
I'm proud of you🎉 and I am so sorry this happened to you 🙏
I'm sorry you went through that, and congratulations on your hard work and sobriety.
I don't deal with substance addiction, but I do know first hand, as someone who is challenged with debilitating health conditions and spent 35 years working in holistic health and nutrition, and with naturopathic doctors, that standing up for oneself at a dr can be so very tough, and cause more health problems.
@@janetknight6317 Exactly right and make sure you do that, because the record will haunt you if you do not. Plus it's empowering to take back that control.
I did heroin for 13 yrs. And I've been sober for 12 yrs! Praise God. But thank u for breaking this down this video is very educational and taught in a way most people can understand. Thank u sir!
Well done you!😊
Thank you God for your strength and intelligence. May your life be filled with joy and health and prosperity. ❤❤❤
On been on meth , it was mess up my life , but I great Iam ❤ took care of 😢 ❤❤
You’re amazing! Keep strong. Well done for staying clean. I’ve seen how difficult it can be as I have a relative in a similar position. Thank God you were able to get off the heroin and stay off it. My prayers are with you xx 💕
I have been in chronic pain for 50 years. For the first 25 years I took no pain meds, I explored everything holistic, body, mind and soul. Then I was in a terrible 4 wheeler accident where it was a miracle I lived, and badly re-injured my poor neck, now I have no choice. No med make me sleepy. I take 4 10mg Norco a day, and I have zero side effects. I worked for 10 years with one of the best chronic pain psychologists. I initially asked for someone to teach me biofeedback and any tools to help me with the chronic pain. I have studied metaphysics and healing for 47 years, and share what I have learned. I am happy to have stumbled across you Dr. Kaveh. I found you 2 days ago right after my brothers heart attack!!!!! He has open heart surgery on Monday. There is definitely no such thing as coincidence!!!
I am so grateful to hear a Doctor speak so clearly, truthfully and compassionately about these issues - Drugs and interactions, Brain functions, emotional and physical connections, the Medical Industry and the brokeness of the system, and how it affects those struggling with addiction and those trying to get help for their pain and health conditions.
As long as there are people like this Doctor, who teaches and assists people in such desperate need...there's still hope for us all.
God Bless you Doc..
Lol.

You’re the absolute best: brilliant, kindhearted compassionate.❤
When I had a burst cerebral aneurysm in my apartment in Abu Dhabi, UAE, I lost consciousness and fell to the very cold tile floor of my apartment, and it was over 40 minutes before I was collected and brought to an ER. The A/C of my apartment was extremely cold, enough to save my brain from getting destroyed from the cerebral bleeding. I was in ICU in a coma for a week after my brain surgery, which also protected it. I only lost some verbal fluency, a bit of motor nerve injury, and (friends would confirm) a small degree of executive function due to the location of the aneurysm. My life was saved in part due to the excellent quality of my apartment’s A/C.
About 20 years ago, my BFF had to jump from a fifth floor, as she was victim of a robbery . Yes, they were selling drugs out of the apartment and her husband was shot/ killed by 2 teenagers(sent by his own SON!). The hospital said her cocaine high helped save her life. She was going to be shot, decided to JUMP. She hit an A/C unit, which broke the fall. She landed sitting up, wide awake. Made it through! To top it off, the killers found her sitting on the ground, unable to move, and couldn't shoot her, Thank God, because there were people ! So kids, and everyone 😢 PLEASE if you haven't started, DON'T! And if you are , get help. We only have ONE LIFE. Doctor, ❤THANK YOU!
I am so glad that the newer surgery for cerebral aneurysms saved your life!!
My mother died from them in '84. She was 41. She was buried on her Birthday. I say she was 42. I was 16.
Do you happen to know when the surgery started to help people survive these type of aneurysms?? Thanks ... I am glad that you are better!
@@Rare_and_Unique1 I don’t know anything about the newer surgery - mine was 20 years ago and involved opening my skull and putting the clip in. Two or three cardiac arrests in recovery, another month in the hospital. The irritating effect of blood in the cerebral-spinal fluid was another problem. Kidneys had started to shut down also, so I have some kidney damage. I was very lucky in how my rescue involved the king’s personal family physician, because I was teaching at the university where many royal family members were students. Thanks to the UAE public healthcare system, I never had to pay anything. So fortunate in so many ways, forever grateful.
A friend, female, died from a burst cerebral aneurysm in '90. She was only 33 years old. She had suffered severe headaches for many weeks. It was never diagnosed; her doctors suggested maybe she was under a lot of stress and suggested she take a vacation. It was at least better she passed at home and not while on the airplane. Not sure if the technology to diagnose such conditions was commonly available at that time. (Eg. CT scans).
@@mhenderson9311 Dang sad. Someone made the calculation that imaging everyone wasn’t “cost effective.” At least they do screening now for men aged 65-70. My dad had an aortic aneurysm at about 5 cm but he lived to age 99 and died of other causes. That side of the family had “sudden heart attacks” that may have actually been bursting aneurysms. Autopsies were not performed back then when the cause of death was “an apparent heart attack.” These men died in their late 40’s. They were smokers in high stress occupations.
In Cork City, Ireland, during a bit of a cold spell about 3 weeks ago, I came across a couple fast asleep, in the woods, about 7 o clock in the morning. They were covered in frost. I checked the temperature, and it was -3 Celsius. This was in an area where the fentanyl junkies hang out. Took me about 15 minutes to wake them up.
Geez thank
God you found them !!
Oh my…Ireland. This is a world pandemic more so than any virus they make. America is plagued. It’s sad.
I love how you address this situation for people dealing with addiction. I think if more people showed love and care instead of judgment. I think we can save more people with the doctor's help.
I'm so pleased to have you on here. I am addicted to just about anything I touch. I'm 67 now and have been sober for years however my heart goes out to anyone struggling. My condolences to the men who passed. Their families will be in my prayers
Kkķk
Thank you I'm 54 and I'm 2 years clean
I never met a drug I didn’t like, but I never really became addicted to a particular one. I was always able to kick a habit I needed to when I seen it was becoming a major problem. I’m 42 years old and now 10 years sober though and am glad I missed the fentanyl crisis
fighting a good fight 🙌🙌🙌 keep up the good work. God Bless 🙏
@@runoz2839 god bless you too 🙏🏻
I love your teaching about intolerance. I had a huge man who had a crushed pelvis. I had given pain med on time which was doing nothing. The nurses were talking about this young man. It did not occur to anyone if he used street drugs. I asked, he reluctantly said yes. I worked nights so I called the doc at 2am to get medication changes. He did well after that.
Some people also don't metabolize certain pain meds. I have no reaction to morphine, some people don't have the enzyme for it, and I rarely take any meds.
@@zenawarrior7442 I metabolize really slowly myself. I have to let the doctors know. It’s usually genetic. Variation in UGT2B7 has been suggested to affect codeine and morphine metabolism or in the CYP2D6 Gene. But doctors don’t check genes beforehand
@@zenawarrior7442Wow me too and I don’t understand why I’m so sensitive to medication. I got anaphylactic from my first COVID vaccination. I also don’t need the full dose of anesthesia to be put out.
@@apriljtechnology3560 Yes everybody reacts so different to pain meds, and vaccinations while you mention it. I was exposed to COVID for 2 yrs w/o getting it. Then my work mandated the vaccine, I got COVID after. Weird. That was a big business for pharma to get rid of all the doses they made ahead of time. I've gotten headaches alot more since then too.
@@KamDashcamI’m sure it occurred to people…they said the person was reluctant to say yes they used street drugs so they were probably reluctant in answering with others before don’t you think. Use your brain if you have one.
I’m a former OR/PACU nurse and I knew the toxicology report would be very revealing. Sad event - maybe if one person learns something about this drug abuse it’ll save a life…
I love your RUclips channel - very informative and takes me back to my days in the OR. Perioperative nursing was my favorite.
Thank you so much for your service to so many patients! Thank you for the kind comments, I hope we can all help advocate better for ourselves and our patients 🙏
Doctor, couldn't thank you more for those VERY UNDERSTANDING words,plus the knowledge. Bless you! As a 63 year old , l wasted over 45 YEARS trying to SOOTHE my pain! I'm in a good place now and SO VERY THANKFUL. If l could ever be of help to anyone, it wb my pleasure!
We love Your RUclips Channel. We all Love everything You're Teaching us. Love You Dr for Educating all of us. From Homestead Florida USA.
I hope you have seen through quite a few elective surgeries
I have had many surgeries. I can't take these medications. I am allergic to codeine and all of these things. They have to be very careful what they use on me. Morphine is another bad one for me.. thank u for you great reporting. I haven't heard anyone give a message like this on anesthesia. Never thought about this. Glad for a different perspective. How did they take this cocktail. Did he inject them willingly? Or was it nose or smoked
I am a Cancer Patient who is still under Cancer Watch. I have had a few different procedures that require different kinds and amounts of Anesthesia. I began watching your channel because I wanted to learn what happens when I am helpless and / or in need of help. I especially like the way you break down your Anatomy Class into plain language for we non-med students. Thank you.
From personal first hand experience in my life living in the Tenderloin I n San Francisco. I personally think the flooding of the neighborhood with smoke shops, cannabis clubs, and liquor stores is NOT an accident or coincidence
Ain’t nothing tender about that place 😂
So compassionate that you understand that addiction is a failure of connection not a moral failure.
I SO agree with you!
addiction to anything is all caused by the adiction to anxity and the antisapation that it causes. ie. its all in the chase? weather it be sex drugs or stealing.
I posted a huge part of my story above, it's very disturbing and sad...just a warning.. id be interested to hear thoughts... maybe hear some words of encouragement and support. Thanks for being a kind person that also understands the deeper issue at hand ❤
I so DISAGREE with you and your moral failings.
I totally agree. Addiction is tragic. To moralize the issue of addiction is terrible.
Re. paradoxical effects: Many years ago, I was on heroin and had to see a Dr. for an abscess. He asked me if I felt up or down when I used it. I said 'up'. That's when he brought up that I should speak with someone about depression. He had seen this with many addicts over the years. Since addressing depression/anxiety issues, I got off the heroin and other 'recreactional' drugs. Since then, I've had many orthopedic surgeries and have been able to take opiate-based pain meds (hydrocodone/acetaminophen aka. Vicodin, Norco, etc.) with no issues/concerns about physical dependency or addiction. I look at pain meds as a tool to get thru the pain and be able to push myself through the hard work in PT.
I find it easy enough to stop my opioid pain meds when i am not in pain. I forget to take my tablets unless I am in pain, and feel that my addiction is low because I forget to take the pills until I am in pain, and then I push through the pain as long as I can before I take the tablets. I do get a fuzzy feeling at times from the meds but not very often, and it doesn't last more than a few minutes.
New to opioids, eh. Leave them alone. Trust me that is the devil in pill form. You DON'T WANT it! Please listen and I'm telling you now if you can forget to take your pills and NOT get sick without them them STOP taking them NOW! There are plenty of non opioid pain meds out there that work and are non addictive and non habit forming. If you continue to take opioids , your brain and body will physically change to where you NEED opiates for endorphins because your body will stop creating them naturally and it's agony!
Sooooo true. I had a 10 yr addiction to opiates, 9 years clean now. Same thing. They gave me
Energy. Most medications have a paradoxical effect on me. It’s pretty strange.
H for 5 yrs on been 5 yrs off. It always made me tired. I just had a mysectomy last week and they pumped me twice that I was aware of with fenty for the pain and oxy throughout my stay. Sebt me home with oxy, and not once have I n considered going out in the streets and getting H. I also have found to use the meds. Responsibly. I am greatful they sent me home with them knowing I use to be on H. Thanks for sharing your story.
I have never had any type of addiction, but i experience extreme agitation on opiate drugs. They do not help with pain at all, but they make me feel extremely irrationally angry and aggressive. I have had healthcare providers ignore me about this unfortunately, resulting in me almost being held overnight after a surgery because i was on a bunch of morphine that did nothing for the pain but i was really agitated and... they didnt know what else to give me i guess? I also suffer from depression and anxiety.
You are needed in our society. Thank you for your compassion, and for explaining to others what we all need to understand regarding addiction.
So happy to have “stumbled “ across your channel! I worked in the big pharmaceutical funded “medical education” field for years. Programs like yours are exactly what the industry needs. Thank you, Doctor for providing such a valuable service!
I often hear people say, "Addicts just need to ask for help. Treatment is readily available." But, while there are many treatment programs in the US, the majority are for-profit and are cost-prohibitive for anyone not working a full-time job with excellent health insurance (or who are from a family well-off enough to afford it.) The programs that are free such as Salvation Army simply cannot accommodate all the people who need help. It is so frustrating to try to help someone get into rehab who genuinely wants help but they can't come up with the $15K or more.
Most people are barely holding it together as it is-they can’t afford to take months off from work to get treatment. And if they don’t have a job, they can’t afford to get treatment. From watching court cases, it seems like the only way a low-income person can get treatment is if they hit bottom, lose their kids and their job, and get charged with a crime so that the state is willing to pay for their treatment.
We have to do better.
Yeah those same people think there is funding and safe shelters for the homeless to rebuild too... there isnt
The "help" for addicts in the country is a joke. If you are lucky enough to get a bed in a "free" place, the staff are subpar and nasty/rude. You get treated like flat out garbage. And let's face it, addicts are treated like non humans. Sometimes it's understandable that people get fed up with addicts. But there is no decent help available unless you are super rich!!! Sad!
Add the social stigma of addiction….too many people are embarrassed to be caught up in addiction. Not for nothing, it’s called alcoholics ANONYMOUS.
YES. It took me over a decade to finally be in a place where I could afford inpatient treatment. The place I went to was $30k for the month. It was a good place, but not luxury…treatment is EXPENSIVE. Not even including the year & a half outpatient treatment I continued afterwards. My insurance paid for quite a lot, and my boss was incredibly supportive & nonjudgmental. My partner also helped me survive after I got home & didn’t have any income coming in for a month. It took a perfect alignment of events for this to all work out. I have friends with no health insurance & no savings, and they’re still stuck in the vicious cycle of addiction, just so they can “function” & survive everyday. I know how hard it is, so I don’t judge. Treatment , *quality* treatment, isn’t cheap or easy to access.
Thanks for the clear update. As a KC resident I can tell you it wasn't just freezing that night (32 degrees) but the air temperature was 9 below zero with wind chill more than 20 below. It was the coldest game ever played in KC and the 4th coldest ever in the NFL
You've got the wrong date, friend. Fellow KC resident here. Guys died on January 6th. When it was like 40 degrees all night...
How can it be 32 degrees AND 9 below zero?
@@albeit1the wind chill
KC North resident here- it was utterly freezing that night.
@lisak927 the lowest was 32. Still doesn't make sense why they would just sit there & allow themselves to freeze. I don't think they froze at all.
Thank you. This was so interesting . We all needed to hear this. Thank you very much for your time.
I appreciate your not lumping all people with addiction problems with actual crumby people
Schools should play your videos in a mandatory fashion. I’m an RN but hearing how you explain this makes it almost simple for a lay person to understand. Thank you for these videos. ❤
Agree
No funding or space for this crucial knowledge. All funding is going towards "how to become trans".
@@frankradcliff660 I have 4 children who attend public schools. Never have one of them ever had this in their curriculum. Study sexuality among mammals. There are gay whales, apes, elephants, dolphins & humans. They are a minority born the way they are. Your comment is untrue rhetoric & offensive. I’ve got 3 college degrees, never less than an A, brought up in average home w church every Sunday. In every family of multiple kids as was the way in 50s & 60s, usually one of the 5-10 kids was gay, not turned gay but born that way. I’d recommend reading Dr Paul Pearsall & some of Master’s & Johnson’s studies on Human Sexuality. May help you realize more facts upon which concepts become either fact or rhetoric.
@@andyschool Thanks so much Andy for your excellent comment! Unfortunately I've developed such a strong dislike for the right wing fanatics that I'm no longer able to speak to them in a civil way.
Not that makes any difference. They are such vile people who are SO determined to hurt as many people as they possibly can, so they simply shut off their pea brains, and won't listen to common sense. I detest them passionately. But it is good that somebody as reasonable and intelligent as you tries to reason with them. And I applaud your efforts. That was very well thought out and written. If anything could get through to them, and that's a big IF, it would be complete truth, just as you expressed it. Thank you again.
@@andyschool I cam easily see I'm conversating with a twisted minded leftist here. Don't like my comment don't dwell on it. Move on with your life and don't let it weigh you down.
There was a period in my life when I did a lot of opiates. I have always been restless, dissatisfied and kind of unhappy. I don't recall ever thinking to myself "Wow. This is great! I'm really high." when I was on opiates. Rather, I often thought to myself, "This is how normal people feel." I was just pleased to be in the moment. Happy to help whoever came into my place of employment. There was no sense of urgency about anything. That was long, long ago. While I have settled down in many ways and am happy with my life as it is going, I occasionally feel a real yearning for that comfort. And I still believe that a lot of people just normally feel the way I was scrambling to get.
I've never heard anyone else say "this is how normal people feel". That's exactly how I felt.
Except, unfortunately, "normal" people are restless, dissatisfied and kind of unhappy too.
I understand exactly what you’re saying. I just felt normal and could function well, never was high. I struggle every day pushing myself to do things. With a mild opiate I was great. Almost like my body won’t produce dopamine.
It's all spiritual longing. You have to do the work. See Kierkegaard.

My brother, this was a wonderful video. Your wording and sentiments were so authentic and encouraging!
Your understanding of addiction is beautiful. Compassion for the underlying hole.
As a retired Registered nurse of 42 years, 20 years as a certified critical care nurse, 22 years certified in nephrology and clinical research, I appreciate your perspective and guidance. Several years ago I had three surgeries over 4 years for herniated disc and spinal stenosis. Two surgeries were spinal fusions. My experience was not optimal. One surgery was delayed due to the physician’s clerical staff not submitting a request for coverage to my insurance company in a timely manner. I was in terrible pain and notified less than 24 hours prior to surgery of the delay. I required additional medication for pain and my sister had to drive approximately 20 miles to obtain a written prescription from the physician’s office for me. Yes, the opioid crisis has created an administration that has caused patient’s who are in need of healthcare to step aside because of the addictive culture we now face. It’s a sad state of affairs. Please keep educating the public.
So sorry bjt 20 miles iant that far to drive.
Did you end up developing Arachnoiditis? Sadly the severe back pain, makes it SO painful to ride even a couple minutes. While 20 miles doesn’t seem far to travel, hitting the pot holes, train tracks, defensive driving - it is a nightmare.
I know what you’re speaking of - I’ve had two spinal fusion surgeries, cervical and lumbar, for spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, and protruding, slipped, and/or herniated discs. It’s hard to even get a prescription for pain medicine without being made to feel like you’re an addict, yourself. So many hoops to jump through. And it’s made more expensive because they won’t write one for more than a 30-day supply.
Me too…multiple neck and back surgeries, have been on maintenance pain meds for years. But I’m made to feel.Ike I’m medication seeking every single time I need to refill them. Heaven forbid I’m going out of town when my meds are due to be refilled, I’ve learned I need stop taking them early enough and be in pain so I have meds to take with me while on vacation.
Notice how as more restrictions are placed on opiates overdose deaths INCREASE? Addicts simply turn to the street for their supply. The results are predicable: Dead people and increased budgets for police, fire, and emergency services. Narcan profits soar too.
Meanwhile, pain patients suffer - many turn to the streets as well for relief. Here's a tip - try cannabis for pain relief. It's not as strong as opiates, but I found it enhances their effect on pain, meaning I took LESS of them and got BETTER relief.
Good luck. Current situation is FUBAR
My friend is a retired Nurse Aesthetician and she said the same thing. They’re not just passed out, they’re rendered comatose and oftentimes need respiratory support.
Did you mean Nurse Anesthetist? They would be very likely to understand what these drugs do. An aesthetician works with the skin and beauty "treatments".
@@Rkbmomma you focus on a typo likely "auto-corrected" by iphone or android on a post made on youtube.
Yeah, I had no idea about any of this. This whole Chiefs fan thing is just so weird to me.
And narcan
@@Skank_and_GutterboyI’m not convinced… why wouldn’t there be many street people found dead in the ‘cold’ states in USA.. at least it should make the local community news and this would be known a long time ago.
Your channel is the first one I seek out when I sign into RUclips. You give such great information.
That was a fascinating and thorough explanation. Thank you! 👏🏼
Dr. Kaveh, you are very empathetic and validating in your comments. I wish you were one of my doctors. Thank you.
Doctor, You are a gift to this sometimes sad world. Thank you and God bless you.
You are truly an amazing doctor! I am so in awe of your beliefs on patient care and especially the way you speak on treating patients struggling with addiction! As someone who just had a terrible experience with my care team after surgical procedure, (Orif fractured patella surgery with ABSOLUTELY NO PAIN MANAGEMENT CONTROL AFTERWARDS which was the absolute most brutal thing I have ever endured! I appreciate you that much more for your understanding!! and only wish my care providers were as open to your views! Or even just open to patients advocating for themselves! Bc Lord knows I gave it my best shot and they refuse to listen to me 🙏 so glad I found your channel!
Why can no one get it right? It's like they push pain meds on people who dont want or need it, then with hold it from people who do.
This is absolutely fascinating. Thank you so much for making this video and enlightening us.
Thank you for addressing this terribly tragic, unthinkable event. As a long-term chronic pain patient in my late 60’s, i used to wear Fentanyl patches with an additional opioid for breakthrough pain. Then the war on pain patients started, and pain is now undertreated if treated at all. It pains me (pun unintended) to see drugs misused/abused because that is largely responsible for why I now suffer so much. Thanks Doc for your compassion and all your wonderful videos.
Keep advocating for yourself for pain control. I hope you are being seen at a pain clinic. Talk to your doctor about CBD and other pain control. They are doing research on other pain control methods. The damn pharmaceutical companies created non-addictive opioids then kept them off the market. Please write to your lawmakers about responsible options use. It's very unfair how the legislators banned it's use to scare physicians not to prescribe it they could put their license at risk with DEA.
There is a doctor called Deborah Wayne who deals with chronic pain, maybe she would be able to help you?
This is not a spam post by the way, I've just become very interested in integrative health just lately! You can Google her to see that she is legitimate, and she does give out free information.
Totally agree with you as we chronic pain patients suffer at the hands of those that abuse Rx drugs and therefore we are under treated. In pain management myself for over 25 years..have seen the pendulum swing way too far in the wrong direction!
I agree 100%. I’m in the same situation.
I agree. Those who used these pain drugs responsibly are being punished because of those that abused the drugs. There is no crisis. It’s just some people chose to be irresponsible and abused these type of pain medicines.
I can’t believe they were out there for 2 days and no one looked outside!
@swimfit57, I understand they were on a back porch or deck. In cold weather, I seldom will go outside or often won't even look outside in the backyard. It depends on the layout of his house and windows and even what is visible from which windows. Still, I would think this would be unusual. But I can see how this can happen.
True but didn’t they have a party. And people were in and out.
@@swimfit57The four friends may have been to multiple parties throughout the day, but the understanding is that they all ended up at the survivors home that evening. The guy that survived clearly had a near overdose as well. He fell asleep/ passed out on the couch, woke to the other three coming in then leaving. He went to his bedroom, heard them leave but isn't sure if he definitely heard them return or if the doors were locked or unlocked. When the fiance came she had to actually break in, saw them out back & called police. I'm just guessing but given how f***** up they all were I think they left when they saw their friend asleep, probably locked his doors, but they couldn't go anywhere because they were so f***** up so they just went back to his house, found the locked doors & comatose friend & went in the backyard. Clearly they realized they couldn't drive but imagine how messed up you'd have to be to have access to heat in the vehicles & phones to call for help but no ability to recognize the incoming threat before they became comatose then died! It's really sad & I wish people would stop trying to find the survivor as being liable for his friends dying when my guess is the only reason he survived was because it was his house and he stayed inside, that's it!
I really hope friends/fam are watching it for the survivor add he's likely to have immense survivors guilt amid being accused of murdering his friends!
@@sandyl9680if I owned the house, I somehow think that there were 3 dead guys on the porch!
Did the renter have a dog? The dog may even have saved their lives.
We keep most of our windows curtained or had blinds. In the winter it helps with the heating bill.
Love you! Thank you for your knowledge and concern. Your information is so helpful and appreciated. I can't thank you enough for caring. ❤
This is so informative, I
really appreciate you taking time to explain.
It’s hard to believe that
people are using fentanyl outside of medical facilities, it seems like a death sentence. Meth use is
such an epidemic and
now fentanyl mixed with
cocaine! It makes sense
that it would overwhelm
the body, it’s very sad that people are still doing this. Thank you
for explaining all this!
Thank you for shedding light on so many different things.
You are so welcome! I hope you learned something new to advocate for your health 🙏
@@MedicalSecretsDr. I've Had Fentanyl before. At 25-75 MCG, I FELT A BIG HEAD RUSH, WHY IS THAT?

Addiction is a SYMPTOM. Yes! More people need to realize this.
Well, that symptom is now its own disease. And that is debated at times.... but most addicts have some kind of lack of coping , overwhelming life situations, trauma .... more about what has happened to them in past.... vs. Disease like cancer. Diabetes....even vision changes... a type of malfunctioning of body process that is not consciously controlled.
We all addicted to something. Some just have bigger holes in their soul that they need to cover up to survive. Sex, exercise, coffee, legal drugs, gambling, food, religion.
And sorry to say so many have a hidden addiction.
The power of your mind is the key. Finding hope. So many antidepressants are now shown to not even do anything for helping the depression but may have effects from the chemicals. Believe in yourself and educate yourself.
Also a difference between chemical dependence, and addiction, on a medical basis. People incorrectly use these 2 interchangeably all the time. Addiction is based on behaviors sometimes associated with chemical dependence, but you can be chemically dependent, but not an addict.
It's a mental illness not a disease
@@debraferguson9992 Mental illness is still disease. Go take a look at the definition of disease. The brain is an organ in the body, any and all mental illness involves chemistry and physical changes in the brain.
I would like to say you're a Breath of Fresh Air! You're educating so many people on so many levels with you're compassion & expertise. Ontario, 🇨🇦
What a great educating video...very cause and effect! The way you broke everything you talked about down into its simplest form and why ...I love it! Very informative...❤❤
I watched this twice.. best show on this sad death of the three men. Thank you for making it more clear and not a scandal.❤
My first exposure to this you tube and this physician, and as a physician myself, I am quite impressed. Dr. Kaveh is accomplished in explaining the concepts in an easy to understand way. So many of the physicians doing podcasts get way too complicated resulting in brains glazing over. Fabulous podcast! Thank you, Dr. Kaveh.
Maybe help your friend here and kindly let him know he described operating on patients with cocaine. The time stamp is at 3:50
It’s common in sinus surgeries, has been for years
Very good analysis , Dr. Kaveh. Thank You.
You are a great doctor! You are helping so many with your wisdom. Thank you.
Great live stream, thank you for raising awareness about medical gaslighting, we need more doctors like you! Hope Mando and Mochie are well!
Dr. Kaveh, thank you for taking the time to educate the public. May this information be heard and shared by many. May Dr. Kaveh be encouraged and strengthened along his journey to educate patients. 🙏
You seem so kind and knowledgeable. I'm glad I found your channel 🙏🏻
Absolutely fascinating. Thank you!
appreciate your authenticity and taking time to teach us ❤
I'm glad I came across your videos while trying to educate and further my overall growth in healthcare. It's clear just by how you address your topics your compassion and empathetic approach to medicine shines through. I can appreciate what that means when it comes to healthcare as I am a FA. I often see many different ways healthcare is approached as im sure you know how polar opposites one surgeon can be from another. I just can appreciate when those things shine through. Keep up the good content
Thank you for your service! And thank you for the kind comments, I hope you can be a better advocate for yourself and your loved ones
I just found you & you’re absolutely wonderful . I can hear the compassion in your voice & see it in your eyes. You’re a gift to your patient’s & to us listeners. Thank you for sharing the facts/truth w us. Cheri
Thank you for this excellent educational video. I learned a great deal. A lot of good information passed.
Good health alone is enough reason to be 'high' on life! Most do not realize how fortunate they really are. A simple attitude of daily gratitude goes a long way. Very sad story.
I called it “being on a natural high!”
Thank you for bringing awareness about Drugs and specifically, going into details and explaining that Fentanyl is actually a good medical drug used by a professional, when needed and when the patient is monitored. People have developed an almost irrational fear of Fentanyl as a painkiller because it has been associated with drug overdoses and i've seen people refuse painkillers when they were needed. Society even makes you feel guilty if you need these painkillers and you are judged by some healthcare providers if you dare ask for it... Those healthcare providers who first overprescribed it now judge patients that got addicted to those.... It is an illness that needs to be treated with respect. People judging addiction have no idea how HARD it is... it is a living hell. Educating about drugs, meds, addiction is important, thank you !
Thank you for the video. I think most people realized there was most likely some type of drug use involved when this story broke, but I don't know how many guessed this.
As an aside, I was in the Marine Corps in the 80s, and we had a Marine in our squadron that broke his nose. In the military hospital, they used cocaine to "pack" his nose. Man, our CO was pissed when he heard about it! But that was the procedure, what was he supposed to do, refuse to get his nose set?
Thank you for being an excellent doctor!!! You are so compassionate and kind ❤
6 years clean….. life is hard…. Getting clean doesn’t change that….you absolutely have to have a reason and purpose….. it’s extremely hard to get clean but sooooo worth it!!! Most of my hardest trials came after I got clean… I go to the gym a lot… I love my job, I have my kids….. I lost myself for a while but I didn’t have a loving supportive family whatsoever and let me tell you….. that support means life or death for a lot of people…… a lot of families are but a lot of them aren’t…… unfortunately my family was one of those…. But my kids…. They are the real mvps….. ❤they kept me grounded without even trying.
I wish you continued good luck with your struggle! 🙏🙏
Don't ever go back you don't need that crap your kids need you
Yes, while difficult, the benefits and rewards are so worth it. The rewards start small and get bigger and better over time.
It takes work, dedication, and a willingness to make drastic changes to one's 'lifestyle'.
Life IS hard, but substance abuse makes it infinitely more difficult.
@@stringlarson1247Drugs aren't good for you ...I don't even drink alcohol anymore... I don't need it...
I just came across you for the first time today. I'm a retired nurse on disability do to work injury. You are so on point with our health care and how it is a mess. I wish that there where more doctors like you. I know for a fact if I lived close to you I would want you for my doctor. Thank you for being so informative for so many people. Please continue being who you are and God bless you.
I’m also a disabled RN and live with pain 24 hours a day.
I was in a horrible car accident years The end of 2003and it was a few months after I had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and I have arthritis all over my body! I tried to work for about 6 or 7 years without any medication! Then I got paralyzed in 2012 and my Dr put me on soo many meds that were addicting! I really went downhill when I was prescribed the fentanyl patch! I don’t even hardly remember the last few years! I was on all of these sedating medications and THOUGHT I needed them or I would be in horrible pain!! I broke both my feet and didn’t even realize it until I couldn’t stand up ! My daughter asked me if she could call the ambulance and I said yes! They ripped me off of all my meds and I was in the hospital for a month and a nursing home for another month! I was hallucinating and they thought I had a stroke and my kidneys were failing! Most people think that the only thing that can happen is ODing but your whole body can start to shut down piece by piece ( and I didn’t even take all of the pills I got each month, I had extra bottles and patches my kids had to get rid of ) everyone was so mad at my Dr . My family and all the doctors and nurses at the hospital and nursing home! I only blamed myself because I worked for a pharmacy and Dr.s offices my whole life and I knew better but you don’t really realize how much you are messed up when you are messed up!!! My new Dr put in my charts that I am a medication person ( to let anyone know that I have a problem with meds) I am so thankful for my children and God that I didn’t loose my life AND all I really need is Tylenol?? I never would have thought! I have Crps and neuropathy also but I tried and was and still am amazed that even though my broke but somehow healed feet hurt but I just need Tylenol! It’s almost been a year and I still feel fine! I’m happier and my children are happier and my nephews are happier! Oh I have lots of trauma too ! I’m 55 and have to get used to a lot of things but I’m so happy and thankful for being better!
Thanks for all the details and background. As a prosecutor I had heard of this type of thing but never understood how it happened. Now I do.
Can you, as a prosecutor, please do a public service for diabetics who have high blood sugar emergencies and get hauled off to jail for being "intoxicated"? My relative's life was endangered because of ignorance. He began driving erratically and tried to pull over, and thought the police were going to help him get medical care. That's the last he remembers. He woke up in the emergency room and assumed they had taken him straight there. They stayed until he was discharged as stable, but as he came to he heard them demanding that the doctor give them a copy of the blood _alcohol_ level. The doctor refused and tried to explain that if you give an intoxicated person insulin, you have an intoxicated person with low blood sugar, but if you give a ketoacidosis victim insulin, they no longer register any blood alcohol. But the prosecutor decided to charge my relative with DUI anyway. And then it came up in court that they hadn't taken him straight to the ER. They took him to jail first and had him blow a breathalyzer. The judge convicted him based solely on the breathalyzer reading and absolutely refused to consider the testimony of his endocrinologist or any other medical expert testimony. They're lucky my relative lived, because I would make sure they're sued personally -- not as government actors -- for wrongful death had my relative died from their inept, incompetent treatment of a medically incapacitated man!
Great video, thank you for your explanation of this tragic situation.
Thanks, Dr. Kaveh, you teach us so much.
You are most facinating! And very clear to understand. You are my favorite… to watch and educational!!!can’t thank you enough
Thank you for all you do and explain
Excellent information on my level of understanding. Thank you so much for this.
I love how you used this highly publicized tragedy to teach about such a wide varuety of topics! History, medical uses of medications and even of hypothermia!
Talked about how pur bodies would react and interact with the substances and the environment.
The differences that might occur if someone has tolerance to the substances vs people that do not use frequently or consistently.
Abd you did it all with so much compassion! Thanks, Doc! What an informative video!!
I've fought the battle regarding my responsible use of opioids for twelve of the fifteen years and a total of 35 surgeries, since my 110 mile an hour head-on collision that was zero percent my fault. I'm so blessed to have doctors and surgeons who truly know my case and have sincerely worked with me to ease my pain which has been constant all along.
I love your dog. I have a Maltese also.
I'm sorry that happened to you 🙏
I am both blessed and cursed, but basically the same as you. I was in an accident 18 years ago work related that is left me in chronic pain daily. Prior to this job I was working in the music industry and my claim to fame there is I quit smoking cigarettes more than 30 years ago. I’ve seen what street drugs could do to a person, and I chose the opposite. I was raised by an alcoholic, therefore never turned to drinking. Now that I’ve flipped in chronic pain for 18 years I have no history of drugs until this, so I did not get build up any tolerance in my system. Seven years ago when I lost a loved one I was on fentanyl and I asked my doctor doctor if I could stop everything and he said yes. I quickly found out that I felt as if I’ve been hit by a truck and I knew I couldn’t stop everything, but I got fentanyl 100% out of my systemand lowered my dosage of everything. I do this occasionally and it is so painful but at least I feel like I am restarting my system, and I have many more years to become an alcoholic if I choose.
See they do know how to use and prescribe . I'm tired of this situation being blamed on the medical industry ( albeit those who abused) . This is a societal disease as our society crumbles so does the will of the peoples. I'm glad that you got good docs. So sorry for your life of pain.
same here. I have a condition called CRPS. I have a multi discipline pain management regimen but it does involve small amounts of medication. For 24 years I have never had issues with it because I am vigilant about making absolutely sure that even if my pain is not under control at any point I have NEVER taken more medication that what I am allowed. I use many other techniques and some days are just going to be worse than others. But at no time is that any excuse for something like, well, I will just take a little more meds today. No, no, no, no no. That way lies madness and spiraling from legal medication use to actual drug abuse.
Great video thank you!
Thanks man. This is extremely interesting and informative. Real talk... You make me want to be a guy like you.
The way you educate is so great. So grateful to you 🙏
Big lessons here. Don't abuse drugs. Take control of your life, get help. Try not to be stupid and reckless with body, your life. Fascinating information, thank you.
Thank you for emphasizing the importance and learning points from this tragic story 🙏
Well said!
It’s not that easy and this is kinda brash!
@@jessicadavis3989 Ok, you're right. I wrote that when I was still waking up. How's this: There are important lessons one could choose to notice. TRY not to abuse drugs; one good way of trying is to get help by going to people who are in recovery or have been sober for some time; another way is to seek treatment ASAP; TRY not to be reckless, thoughtless, and abusive toward your body. Life is a precious gift, an opportunity. Try to find the spirit within you. Your sojourn on earth may be hard, so it is with most of us, but somehow you're here and someday you won't be. Pray . . . to whatever . . . the force that brought you here, maybe. If you're emotionally/psychologically injured, try to find help for that also. The thing is: TRY, even though it's not easy.
@@jessicadavis3989 That was my reaction to the comment as well,
Thanks for the great explanation of this story.
that was great info.thank you
Thanks for Educating us. God Bless you
Thank you for covering this.
I've needed pain medication after damaging my spinal cord and still do after over 20 years now. I think I've been on about all of them at one point or another. Finding the right doctor is key. I had the best for the surgeries and after care, but then my insurance company required I had to go to a "pain clinic" and they only contracted with one doctor so my choice was taken away. He immediately put me into a fentanyl drug trial, which worked well at first, but if I admitted to any pain he'd jack up the dose, so I started denying the pain I was in. I'm an outdoor person and during the summer I couldn't even go outside without feeling nauseous and like I was going to pass out or die. I told him that I thought I was absorbing more of the drug (patch) when in the heat. He didn't agree. As soon as I could change insurance I changed doctors and returned to the hospital that did the surgeries and replaced the fentanyl (after 3 trials), but I've always wondered if I was absorbing more of the drug in the heat or if it was "just in my head" as he claimed.
That doctor's clinic and my previous insurance company were both shut down not long after I left and complained about their little scam. I've been on the lowest dose of oxycontin that they make for over a decade and I can take an extra 5mg oxycodone if needed (usually because I've tried to do something I shouldn't have-but how do you know unless you try?).
My dear, you were right. Heat has an impact in the absorption of opiates on the skin. If you felt this it's your body and you were the one experiencing the sensation. Not (Mr..Arrogant I know everything because I have an M.D.) him!
Also, if you have a spinal cord injury, you don't respond to heating up or cooling down correctly. Yes Fentanyl is affected by heat. I'm a paraplegic (50 yrs) who is on a Fentayl patch for (15 yrs)
This Doctor is an excellent teacher and explains the effects of meds on the body.
THANKYOU for this. I loved how you broke things down on a very understandable level. I am overcoming alcoholism and taking better care of myself. It took me a long time to understand why and get to the bottom of the real issues and even longer to learn to love and forgive and accept myself but it's working. I appreciate your dedication to helping others, subscribed and keep it up!❤
Hey Doc. I had a CABGx4 back on Feb 29, 2016. I read the report from the Surgeon and it was super cool to read what all they did. The fact he took my heart, took my saphenous vein and redid my heart was just amazing. Oh the drugs yall give were great too! I ended up staying in the hospital where i worked for 22 days. Anyways, im so much better now and life is great! Oh yeah, i did have the fluid and they drained 3 liters off. Ive enjoyed watching you speak about this too❤
Fantastic addiction information. Very compassionate ♥️
I just discovered your channel. Your explanations are really great and clear to someone not in the medical field. I have had many different surgeries in my life (mostly on my eyes for retinal tear/detachment) and I always ask the anesthesiologist questions (they probably think I'm annoying!) I'm fascinated by medicine and unfortunately never had the skills/personality to study it. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Btw I suspected drugs (particularly fentanyl) were the cause of the deaths of those poor young men. The fentanyl and opioid epidemics are so tragic. Thank you for making surgery safe for people!
This was so interesting! Thank you! I. Saw it was 38 mins and I thought i wouldn’t watch whole thing but kept my interest 100%
Thank you for explaining the possibilities. So sad..RIP. Peace and Love

Wow, doctor, you are so insightful.Thank you for all this information. It sounds to me like you have a great deal of compassion.
Very informative, thank you.
I found this video very informative and intriguing. The deaths of the Kansas 3 is a mystery that begs for further investigation. You offered the most plausible possible explanations of their cause of death that I've heard to date. Also, as a sufferer of painful Rheumatoid Arthritis, I found your review of the various natural and synthetic medicines helpful in clarifying my understanding of my current pain management. Due to my concerns about opioid addiction and the side effects of their long-term use, as well as their sporadic availability, I'm always seeking relevant research and case studies that are focused on alternative treatments. Thank you for featuring this topic in a respectful manner that supports a patient's dignity and emotional well-being. I look forward to following your channel more frequently in the future.🙂
Thanks Doc such a sad loss!
These 3 men made a horrible choice, and all for their short experience of some sort of high. Sad and tragic but so insane. I wonder whose idea that was....
The one now in rehab, he has chemistry capabilities through his work.
There is a video about a guy in a deep sea diving bell that was without oxygen from an extended period (at least a half hour). He made a full recovery and was soon back diving.
There are always outliers. I know that his exceptional athleticism and elite training in his sport drastically improved his ability to intake and utilize oxygen efficiently and effect so many other aspects of body function to help him survive and recover.
@@Mrs.LadeyBug”sport”. It’s a profession for maintenance on things like oil rigs. Deep sea diving is not a sport.
