Venous ulcers are common in drug addicts and, although the management of these wounds is the same as in other patients, there are differences in the approach and the outcome of treatment. Those injecting drugs are at risk of serious infections, such as necrotizing fasciitis, wound botulism, and cutaneous anthrax due to the nature of the substances being injected. Herein, we present two cases of venous ulcers in drug addicts in their thirties. Both patients had been suffering from a venous ulcer for several years and the final result differed in the two patients. We concluded that it is necessary to raise awareness of the importance of treatment and lifestyle changes. The multidisciplinary approach in these patients may contribute to the improvement of wound healing.

Current Thinking

We note growing concern by defence councils over the reliability of confessions obtained from suspects withdrawing from opiate dependence. We focus on a case report and highlight the conceptual weaknesses of current thinking about confessions. A philosophical model is adapted to clarify the theoretical aspects and thereby provide a conceptual framework to help the doctor confronted with the practical issue of how to assess a suspect's fitness for interrogation or the reliability of an individual's confession. We argue that the practice of not treating withdrawal in custody is unjust and inhumane. The model presented is of value in dealing with the issues raised by retracted confessions generally and not just in the specific instances where the suspect is a drug user.
