We had an expert come in to talk to us about substance abuse and the medical profession. Interesting stats, and certainly important for both future and current medical professionals to know about, in terms of dealing with and reporting others for substance abuse and issues that may interfere with capability to provide care. It's quite interesting to be able to learn about how such issues are so prevalent yet under-reported.
Anyways, long story short. Drug abuse, whether it be alcohol, illicit, or prescription-related, begins any time, and if detected, results in stringent self-help and abstinence courses.
It was technically more of an informative talk than an applicative subject at the moment. Being a teetotaler and abstaining from all chemicals except for caffeine and MSG seems to have me pretty set in the non-drug-abusing group for now. Hopefully, it stays that way.
