LETTER: Narcan in Surrey? How about putting seniors before addicts

What a waste of our tax dollars and our overloaded and failing medical system “by saving the lives of people who overdose repeatedly.”

The Editor,

Re: “Narcan on heaven’s door, Part one,” the Now, March 24.

I read Part One of Amy Reid's series of articles with interest.

What a waste of our tax dollars and our already overloaded and failing medical system “by saving the lives of people who overdose repeatedly.”

How about sharing some of that money and medical attention with our seniors who have worked, paid taxes and lived productive lives and who now have to choose between food and their medication?

Shame, shame, shame on this province.
