Doctors are setting up unsanctioned overdose prevention sites on the grounds of Nanaimo General and Royal Jubilee hospitals this week .

Dr. Jess Wilder says the B.C. government pledged to open sites at every hospital in the province back in April .

She says seeing patients needlessly die has caused doctors much “moral distress,” while politicians have seized upon addictions services with harmful narratives.
