A Doctor’s Journey: Seeking the Truth Behind his Son’s Fentanyl Death with Dr. Gary Latson

In this episode, Michael Brown sits down with Dr. Gary Latson, a licensed anesthesiologist and father who lost his son to a fentanyl-laced substance. Dr. Latson brings over four decades of medical experience and shares the difference between medical fentanyl and the illicit version flooding American streets—and why this distinction can mean life or death. Dr. Latson is the founder of Candles in the Wind, an organization geared towards bringing awareness to substance abuse.
