Nurse 'Jack': A Healthcare Professional's Battle with Addiction
“Addiction isn’t supposed to happen to educated people, right? It’s not supposed to happen to people who come from a good family, who are nice people and it’s especially not supposed to happen to people who are supposed to help others like doctors, nurses, therapists and other health care pros; but it does.”
Addiction doesn't discriminate, and Nurse 'Jack' is living proof.
