My partner and I either Narcaned or intubated the SAME POS 4 times in a single 24 hour shift.... Narcan the first 3, just tubed her and ventilated on the way to the ER the last time. They gave her Narcan when we got there, she janked her tube and IV and walled out within an hour. I got an ear chewing from the medical director for not "just giving her Narcan and letting her leave".
