Current Event #8:Doctors find hidden meth while performing surgery

A woman was injured after getting into a wreck and doctors had to perform surgery on her and they found "$2,000 worth of methamphetamine stashed inside her body" (Pickens). The doctors found the meth hidden inside a body cavity. The victims had no serious injuries from the chase.

This article relates to my biology class because it deals with drugs that are chemicals and we learned about different chemicals in science classes. In science classes we talk about how the body works and how it reacts to different chemicals. Meth is a very dangerous and highly addictive drug that people can get really messed up on it.

I feel like this is something that needs to be addressed because it is a very dangerous issue considering how meth makes people act violent. This event affects me because in the future I will have events like this to show me that drugs aren't worth getting hurt over. I don't agree with people stashing drugs inside their bodies.
