Episode 275: Dr. Sharon Koivu’s concerns about safe supply drugs

London has become one of the centre of the safe supply debate in the medical community. The pro-side says that providing drugs that aren't from dealers will be safer and lead to fewer overdose deaths. The con-side believes that safe supply is only a temporary measure, with more harms than benefits.

Dr. Sharon Koivu, who has been practicing medicine in London for nearly 40 years, is firmly on the con-side of the conversation. She joins Craig to explain why and what she's seeing in the community.
