For anybody taking the designer drugs discussed at the beginning of the article, the two Canberra boys could have been safer by making available to the doctors what they had taken. Just like we are supposed to put an ICE number in our phones, is there some way anybody who takes a drug can keep something on them in the case of an emergency?
They were lucky (in theory) that the doctor had seen this drug before. Any user should be giving emergency personnel as much information as they can in order to do their job effectively.
