ACEP has come a long way since 2010 when a wacko doctor from California-me- introduced resolutions to have naloxone over the counter and recommend EPs prescribe naloxone in the ER.
However, ACEP still has a long way to go. Tp deny our role in the opiod epidemic, while frequently blaming other specialities for the epidemic is the wrong approach.
