I can’t walk down the street without being offered heroin or cocaine 2 or 3 times in a city block… It’s difficult to deal with these patients, who lead very chaotic and self-destructive lifestyles.

Writer’s Text:

The extreme nature of the situation is explicated as Dr. Stanley de Vlaming, a doctor at a Downtown Eastside clinic, describes that he has difficulty avoiding being offered cocaine “two or three times in [one] city block” (Jones, Vision of Hell 172).

Writer’s comment:

I quoted it just because it backs up how easily it is for me to get drugs. Because he walks down the street, and when he walks down the street, two or three people ask him if he wants to buy drugs. These are the actual words or the kind of things. You have to quote them, right?
