I used to work in home health and hospice as an LCSW and was appalled. I spoke out about it and am happy to report that the particular agency made some changes. But the problem continues which is why posts like these are so valuable.

The only thing I hear from my pharmacist and from my doctor and even from the hazardous waste people in our city, is put them in water to dissolve, then mix them with some garbage like coffee grounds.

And Alexandra you're right--celebrities, politicians often spend so much time/efforts taking about problems around the world when we could do a lot more to focus on the same issues here in the US.
