Querido lector,

Imagina este escenario…

Es media noche. Dormir te resultó fácil, como casi siempre. Lo que no sabes es que esta será la última noche en la que dormirás tranquilo en los años venideros. El teléfono suena en la mesa de noche al lado de la cama de su cónyuge y ambos se despiertan sobresaltados del último sueño pacífico que jamás tendrán.

“¿Hola?” Tu cónyuge dice atontado al teléfono.

No puedes escuchar lo que dice la persona al otro lado de la línea, pero puedes divisar que todo es negocios.

“Ay dios mío.” Tu cónyuge dice… y ahora enciende la luz, se sienta erguido y te das cuenta de que algo anda muy mal. Tu corazón da un vuelco y luego, como para recuperar el tiempo, comienza un doble paso en tu pecho.

“Sí. Entiendo. Ya vamos; Estaremos allí tan pronto como podamos”. Cuelga el teléfono.

“¿Qué ha pasado?” Preguntas y no puedes controlar el temblor en tu voz. “Cariño, ¿qué pasa?”

Su cónyuge todavía tiene el teléfono en la mano; Lo mira como si no estuviera muy seguro de por qué está ahí, luego lo deja lentamente y se giran para mirarte.

De repente estás seguro de que no quieres escuchar lo que están a punto de decir.

“Es Josh. Estaba en una fiesta y… bueno, umm… él, bueno, parece que tomó algún tipo de droga. Creen que fue fentanyl y sufrió una sobredosis”.

Tus manos se llevan la boca y jadeas, o al menos crees que lo haces porque, de repente , sientes que no puedes respirar en absoluto.

“Está vivo.” Tu cónyuge dice como si las palabras pudieran ayudarte a respirar de nuevo, y lo hacen un poco.

“Está vivo, pero está en estado crítico y…” Esta vez, es la voz de su cónyuge la que se quiebra cuando respiran aire, “está en coma y no están seguros de si podrá sobrevivir. Necesitamos llegar al hospital ahora mismo”.

Esta es la peor pesadilla de todo padre , una que la mayoría nunca imagina que le sucederá a sus hijos. Desafortunadamente, cada año, miles de padres reciben llamadas como esta.

Recientemente, agentes de la patrulla fronteriza en California hicieron una redada de más de 3,5 millones de pastillas de fentanyl, y los federales arrestaron a más de 20 personas desde California hasta DC en una red de distribución de fentanyl después de una investigación de dos años que comenzó con la sobredosis fatal de una joven madre en Washington.

Esta investigación de varias agencias descubrió un complot para inundar el Distrito de Columbia con píldoras que contenían fentanyl pero etiquetadas para parecerse a ooxicodone fabricada legalmente.

Felicito a todos los miembros de este grupo de trabajo de múltiples agencias por trabajar tan duro para mantener a nuestra comunidad a salvo de esta peligrosa droga, pero esto es sólo la punta de un iceberg mortal .

Según la DEA, el fentanyl es la droga más letal que nuestra nación haya enfrentado jamás. Está en todas partes, desde las grandes áreas metropolitanas hasta las zonas rurales de Estados Unidos; No hay comunidad a salvo de este veneno. La mejor manera de combatirlo es aprovechar cada oportunidad para hacer correr la voz y evitar que las muertes por sobredosis e intoxicaciones relacionadas con el fentanyl y que se cobren más vidas.

Como padres, abuelos y líderes de nuestra comunidad, tenemos la responsabilidad de asegurarnos de que nuestros jóvenes conozcan los peligros que representan estas drogas.

Fomentar una línea de comunicación abierta y sin prejuicios es primordial. Necesitan sentirse cómodos discutiendo cualquier tema o inquietud que puedan tener. Entonces quieres educarlos. Deben comprender que el fentanyl es entre 50 y 100 veces más potente que la morfina y unas 50 veces más potente que la heroína. Esto significa que incluso una pequeña cantidad conlleva un gran riesgo de sobredosis.

El fentanyl actúa rápidamente, provocando una rápida aparición de depresión respiratoria en la que la respiración se vuelve lenta y superficial y, finalmente, conduce a insuficiencia respiratoria, que a menudo es mortal.

Existe un estrecho margen entre una dosis terapéutica y una dosis letal. Esta es la razón por la que sólo un profesional capacitado en el tratamiento del dolor debe administrar fentanyl Alguien que consume fentanyl con fines recreativos se juega la vida al hacerlo.

El fentanyl fabricado ilícitamente a menudo se mezcla con otras drogas , como heroína o cocaína, sin el conocimiento del consumidor. Esta combinación suele ser un cóctel letal y la persona, que busca pasar un buen rato, acaba en la morgue.

Si no muere la primera vez que toma esta droga, corre el riesgo de sufrir adicción, lo cual es particularmente difícil de superar. Debido a la potencia del fentanyl, los síntomas de abstinencia son graves y, a menudo, requieren asistencia médica para superarlos. Desintoxicarse de una droga como esta no es un proceso fácil.

La sobredosis de drogas es tan trágica en parte porque se puede prevenir. Le insto a que comparta la información de este blog con sus amigos y seres queridos. Tener una conversación franca con sus hijos o los jóvenes que le importan podría salvar una vida.

Hasta la próxima, por favor mantente a salvo,

Atentamente,

Pablo Samakow

First class law office . Dealing with a car accident at times becomes tedious. I’ve never dealt with a car accident ever before. I felt fully prepared and knowledgeable throughout, the whole process of my case. They never sold me a dream and they also actually over achieved . The most import thing to me as a client was communication. From the concierge. To the paralegal shoutout Justin. To the attorney on my case. I just wanna say thank you for everything. Going with this law firm was one of the best decisions. I could have made. 5starsssssssssss

I recently worked with Paul Samakow and Rocco on a personal injury case, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Both Paul and Rocco were incredibly friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with. They took the time to understand my needs and kept me very well updated throughout the entire process. They were always willing to go above and beyond to meet my expectations. Even when challenges arose, they remained flexible and open to compromise, ensuring my priorities were always respected.I highly recommend Paul Samakow and Rocco Turzi

I first got injured ( burned in a sensitive area) and I didn't know what to Expect or what to to next. I found Mr samakow and his group online, read.some reviews and gave them a call. Mr samakow took my call and we began the process of gathering details.Throughout this case I was anything but easy to work with - I was frustrated and upset with the insurance company often.Life was happening too fast around me to begin with, and this is without considering the stress from the case itself.However, through all of this chaos and confusion, Mr samakow remained calm, and for the most part found a way to accommodate me at every turn the case took. He was honest about his intentions, and always transparent. My case settled in roughly 15 months!Thanks to paul, and the samakow law group for your patience and professionalism!I'd use again, and I highly recommend. 👌Best regards,Ryan s.

I got in a motor accident in the beginning of the year. had the pleasure of working with the Law offices of paul A. Samakow, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcome and at ease.A special shoutout to Paralegal Evelyn, who was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive throughout the entire process. She took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions promptly, and truly went above and beyond to ensure I felt supported. Her professionalism and compassion made a challenging situation much more manageable.The attorneys at the firm are equally impressive, demonstrating expertise and dedication to their clients. I felt confident in their hands, and they delivered outstanding results.Thank you Evelyn, and the entire team, for your exceptional service!

I've been a nursing home abuse attorney for 25 years. In Virginia the legislature codified understaffing cases for attorneys like me in direct response to the case of Alcoy v. Woodbine which Paul Samakow litigated and won! In short, nursing home residents in Virginia are more protected because of Paul Samakow. Having now gotten to know him better I am moved by how caring and compassionate he is. An attorney that is brilliant and capable coupled with a loving passion for his clients is a dangerous combination. If you are considering hiring an attorney, Paul Samakow will not let you down.

Paul is excellent I trust him with my life. He took on my case not even being in his own state, he had to get a special license to practice in my state just for my case. He took very good care of me and I was a pain in the butt! He assured me that I've made the right choices. He educated me on a lot of things, step by step process. The thing that got me the most was he goes above and beyond professionalism. He keeps you well informed. He's an excellent lawyer ! I can say that he did my case Justice and you'd be a fool not to hire him . Paul will have your best interest first and foremost I can tell you that is fact!

It was a very long process. Having patience for the due justice was the hardest part. All the staff was always very friendly, respectful, and informative of the process. I appreciated the short videos to explain the process and birthday well wishes. I have never been through anything like this. So this hopefully is my first and last. To only receive a mere small amount in the range of $2,600 the other $3,000+ came from my job. So that was hurtful, because someone there or at the insurance company spoke on my behalf saying they did not think my injury ..."a ripped ligament in my knee" was caused by the car crash, and it was degeneration. That was not true. Even the doctor told told me, showed me, and gave me a video of my knee along with documentation for the results of my knee injury. You have it as well. It can never be repaired properly, it is a permanent injury. It will get worse over time. That part was hurtful. Thank you ALL anyway for what you have achieved on my behalf. And may your company have much more success for others. Have a wonderful holiday. Sincerely Mrs. Chase❤🎀🎉🎊
