Five Victorian paramedics have resigned and another five disciplined for professional misconduct, believed to be linked to the painkiller Fentanyl. Ambulance Victoria is being investigated by the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission over the issue, but confirmed in a statement patient care had not been compromised “by the behaviour of this small group”. At least two more paramedics are believed to have died in the past three years from Fentanyl overdoses.
