Dr. Wiplove (Wip) Lamba has come closing questions for addictions case manager and former addict Jean-Paul (JP) Michael. A lot of things were not discussed.
Wip does ask however what it was like to have had a recent history of drug use and attend a training on chemsex for health care providers, how he can do his job better, and JP gives Wip a few ideas of what to put up into his office to make the environment more inviting.
JP also makes it clear that we need to have the conversations to get these experiences out in the open.
