Son is a paramedic and gets to see the effects of Narcan frequently. Told me it will blow your mid at the speed at which it reverses OD’s. Like a magic wand.

I'm the IT guy for a Fire and Medic Department. They've told me stories where a junkie coded flatline, legally dead, the did the Narcan and CPR to get it moving through the system and brought the guy back to life. Then the guy got pissed and tried to kick their azz for taking away his high.
I deer hunted with an EMT and he said that they give Narcan to the same people multiple times. The junkies get together and shoot up, but keep one person coherent enough to call 911 when people overdose.
107000 died last year because of Mr. Pudd’n .. I’m tell ya these People aren’t of this World.. The ones that Support Them aren’t Either.. We get Um in the Womb or We get Um on the Streets.

There is actually a national hotline for users.
It's called Never Use Alone.
You call them up they say okay....you shoot and they wait on the line for a couple minutes to see if you OD'd.
If you can answer after a few minutes...you are probably going to be OK.
Kinda rubs me a little raw considering that if you are a first responder and have thoughts of suicide...you wait 6 months to get an appointment.
Now I can bring back you Boomers who accidentally stacked 28 pain patches on top of each other.
Late wife did just that one afternoon. I called daughter up to house. I think we pulled like six or seven ( or more) off of her. She had just put them on. She thought they were like salonpas patches. Damn hospice folks left them in with bandage stuff when they determined wife wasn’t gonna die and they took her out of hospice care. I didn’t know they were in there! She found em. Just started slapping em on. I didn’t know what was going on with her. She was going crazy. Geez!!!
Me and my buddies, Happy Camper, Ringman, Doane61 all get in our Snuggies and listen to Dr Mercola podcasts with a warm cup of SmoothMoove laxative green tea.

Everyone forgets that it ain't just junkies that od.
Even the nasal spray can cause the person to become combative. We were taught to spray'em and either grab a hold or get out of the way, cause they most likely will come up swinging.
Nitrile gloves that we normally use when dealing with patients WILL NOT STOP fentanyl for very long. It will go thru the glove. Just skin contact with very much and you're in trouble.
LE doesn't respond to overdoses here, unless it is a death.
One thing to remember about Narcan is that it can wear off faster than a long-acting or extended-release narcotic, and the abuser will renarcotize and go back into respiratory failure again. For one example, an extended release morphine, or even just a big dose of IV morphine can do that.
Repeated doses may become necessary more often than not from street to ER I would imagine.
LEO’s do respond here. They get our Narcan when it goes out of date. We average 3 OD’s a weekend in our little town of 16 thousand or so. Lots of repeats. County wide, to include the city, we average one OD fatality a week. When I started in 95 we went on maybe 1 or 2 OD’s a year. Crazy! We have an organization in our county called Hoosier Uplands that specializes in providing assistance and housing to all who are on drugs or don’t work. The churches offer free food and showers; brings them in from all over. A couple of weeks ago we had one from Michigan. Kind’ve like leaving the cat food bowl on the back porch. Tonight you have one coon, tomorrow night you have ten, lol.

They taught us that Narcan will last somewhere around 30 min., then the victim will go back under the influence of the drugs.

about 8 miles down the road from us in a neighborhood/subdivision that's notorious for heroin OD's. At the time the nearest responding ambulance was several miles away, so the Burrough built a fire station out there with a full-time Ems crew their just to respond to the heroin OD's. This place is considered part of big lake which is notorious for having a lot of junkies. The state troopers here carry several doses of NARCAN 99% of the time they are the first ones to respond to the scene.
Some of the attitudes on here are sick, should para's not hit a fat guy with insulin because he won't lose weight or quit eating cheeto's or quit drinking beer even though diabetic?

Here the conversation has been - why WONT the cops administer insulin to someone who needs it but WILL Narcan?
I get what it's used for - Narcan but what does it actually DO exactly? How does it work?

The only cops administering Narcan are most likely carrying an EMT cert. Unless a particular department or agency is giving full stop to their cops administering Narcan, which would end in complete disaster.
But we're dealing with a population that thinks Chauvin murdered George Floyd and that you can vaccinate COVID.
Blocks the bodies ability to absorb/metabolize opiates
Interesting but what about the opiates already in the stream? I'm not a user - don't know but I'd think you'd already have absorbed quite a bit to need the narcan? Looking to learn - not snark.
Cliff Notes edition: There are different kinds of opioid receptors (sometimes noted as mu, delta, kappa) in the body and spinal cord. When narcotics attach to them they alter the brain, brain stem, limbic system, and spinal cord function causing from pain relief, euphoria, sedation and some respiratory depression to unconsciousness and respiratory failure.
Narcan is an opioid antagonist and competes for these same receptors, knocking them off after circulating in the blood stream, and reversing the opioid effects. It acts almost instantaneously in one brain-body circulation time.
It should be noted that like guns, narcotics are not the problem. The problem is always people, people who abuse both. We’d be in a world of hurt without narc’s, both literally and figuratively. But just because narc’s are abused, a second, great wrong would be legalizing them. Totally wrong.
Fentanyl is truly a great drug, used in medical environments, and often used as the basis for many anesthesia techniques. In fact, it has spawned a couple of others — sufentanyl and alfentanyl — longer- acting and ultra-short acting derivatives.
But fentanyls potency in anesthesia also make it ultra dangerous when abused in street form when the strength/potency and amount in some pill or tablet are completely unknown. I have seen a nurse administer 1cc of medical grade fentanyl (50 mcg), a relatively small amount, in the recovery room, and put a patient in respiratory arrest necessitating resuscitation and Narcan.
I have read accounts of junkies who were resuscitated 3 times in one day. Got hopped up at 9am and passed out, rescued by EMS, transported. Walked out of the hospital AMA and at 1 pm zonked out again, this time rescued by cops. At 7 pm, he "died" again but was saved by EMS with the Narcan.
Do you know that it is dangerous to send cops racing across town lights and sirens? Do you know that, sometimes innocent civilians get killed in wrecks with emergency vehicles?
These junkies are deliberately taking this dope because they just don't care. Or maybe they really want to die. Time to quit equipping cops with Narcan.

Uh, nope.
Agreed.
I’m with Jim on this.
Cops, EMS, Plugs, Soldiers et. al. are all volunteers, and most of whom get paid for doing what they actually enjoy. Those outside of the clans have no idea of the prevailing mindset. Being involved in bizarre and phugged up situations on a regular basis is kind of fun.
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".

Give the junkies all the dope they want- - - -pure and unadulterated, free of charge, and distributed by government sponsored outlets located where they hang out. Just require that they get DNR tattooed on their foreheads in letters 3 inches tall.

Tell yourself what you want. Justify how you want.
There is the simple truth that the narcan was all they needed, And you denied it.
The 18 year old hot rodder put himself upside down in the ditch bleeding.
The hemorrhaging expectant mother is responsible too. What if (gasp) she didn't want to get pregnant and had a one night stand?
I offered to buy a new rescue vehicle for a fire department if they would discontinue the use of NARCAN, but they said that they couldn't, so they are making due with their existing truck. They said that it was inhumane not to save a life when they could and who am I to argue with that? Maybe the local addicts who they save with NARCAN can pass the hat to fund that new truck that they need.

You never will be me, so you're safe on that count.
The EMTs will continue to save people who overdose, so my choice not to buy them a new truck changed nothing except for the quality of their ride. I only donate to causes that I believe in and I don't believe in enabling addicts.
The pharmacies around Omaha will give NARCAN to anyone over 19 who asks for it.
We can't administer that dose here as per our medical director....so we need signed off on a different dose and administration device.
If I were a lay person....they would give me the big dose for free.
Works the same way with automatic defibrillator. A non emt firefighter or police officer on duty can’t use one here. Stupid.
Years ago when cops here got theirs it was like a freakin' demolition derby. Every ems call of unconscious, difficulty breathing, chest pain, the cops drove like bats out of hell so they could try their new toy. We had some close calls with cops cars.
Son is a paramedic and gets to see the effects of Narcan frequently. Told me it will blow your mid at the speed at which it reverses OD’s. Like a magic wand.

Never had anyone want to kick our ass, seen them wake up confused and freak out a little though. I've had them refuse medical aid a bunch of time, their right to do so.

I had a friend and semi-coworker kill herself that way. Her cancer was terminal so she saved up a bunch of patches and then covered her arms and chest with patches.

Ma was given Fentanyl at 85 for her crumbling spine. She was in constant pain. Some rock star died...I think it was Petty of an OD. She immediately ripped off her patch when she saw it on the news.
Next day she tells dad they have bedbugs and she's scratched her legs bloody. Dad looks. No bedbugs. Day 2 she says they're all over her legs - call an exterminator. Bugman comes, looks at bed, does tests or whatever on the mattress and sheets. No bedbugs. Dad says spray anyway. $500 pissed away. Next day her withdrawals subsided enough to realize there never were any bedbugs. She needed to taper down her dosing instead of going cold turkey. Dad was pissed.

Dang.
You could very well be held liable for neglence if that person where to die and you had either the knowledge or the resources to change the outcome.
Narcan's not the most expensive drug in a paramedic's drug bag, but it's not free. Going on multiple responses on the same patients for the same thing is going to impact an agency's budget. These people are typically uninsured and don't have money to pay for a response. Something is going to have to give for some agencies. They'll either cease to be or stop carrying Narcan and just put these people in the recovery position and let them sleep it off. I'm sorry to those that might think that's cruel but that is the reality for some agencies.

There is no "recovery position" for an OD without prior treatment.
To do so would be considered "abandonment" and gross negligence.
Narcan is in no way shape or form necessary to save the life of an opiate OD.
You ventilate with a BVM with high flow 02 on the way to the hospital.
If your agency does not have a bottle of o2 and a BVM...they are not much of an agency.

You or I could get it and you might choose to do so, but the most that I would do for someone who has overdosed and is not my wife or child is to call 911 and wait for the EMTs to arrive.
So a Biden supporter and a bit of a selfish kghunt too?
Dang.
You could very well be held liable for neglence if that person where to die and you had either the knowledge or the resources to change the outcome.
You might should take another IQ test.
"might should"
Jim..............................what would Sister Mary Margaret have to say about that abomination of the English language?
It was used for a certain effect. Kind of pointing out how stupid some "sooper smart" people are.
In Omaha the Hy-Vee pharmacies will sell NALOXONE without a prescription to anyone over 18. Lots of people get a dose of it so that they can save a person who ODs on opioids at a party or a bar.
Altruistic or enabling?
You decide.
Aren't you the sooper smart guy that couldn't vote for Trump?
They also hand out narcan to people who are on prescription opiates.

I didn't vote for either Biden or Trump, so that was a wash. Even if I had voted for Trump, the majority of the people who live in my Congressional District didn't, so Biden won the Electoral College Vote that my vote would have counted toward. You seem to be pissed at me, but what about the 6M people in California who voted for Trump and won him 0 out of 55 Electoral College Votes? At least he got 4 of Nebraska's 5.
I'm not a healthcare professional, so I claim no healthcare knowledge and I don't carry the resources, NALOXONE, to change anyone's outcome. Maybe the best thing to do is to not call 911 and just walk on past, allowing GOD's will be done on Earth and it is in Heaven. Surely someone who cares will take action, right?
No need to take another IQ test at my age. I'm more interested in reaping than sowing, just sowing enough so that my kids will have a strong financial foundation that will provide them with more latitude than I had when I was their ages. Their educations are all paid for, so they don't need to compete for an ROTC scholarship, and they will have a virtually guaranteed income for life as long as there is a continued demand for corn and soybeans. I make no apologies for my success or for the wealth accrued by my parents and my in-laws that my Wife and I have inherited.
Narcan's not the most expensive drug in a paramedic's drug bag, but it's not free. Going on multiple responses on the same patients for the same thing is going to impact an agency's budget. These people are typically uninsured and don't have money to pay for a response. Something is going to have to give for some agencies. They'll either cease to be or stop carrying Narcan and just put these people in the recovery position and let them sleep it off. I'm sorry to those that might think that's cruel but that is the reality for some agencies.
IMHO, Narcan is a waste of my our dollars. Without directly saying so, tdbob's response points that direction. Weds I was witness to a single car accident involving some crack/meth head. Took 4 Natcans to bring him around. As I was giving my statement to the state trooper I overheard him on the radio. Seems the perp was responsible for 3 other vehicle accidents in a 10 mile stretch, south of this accident scene, and had just left a court appearance in the adjoining county seat. Told the trooper that in the long run we'd all be better of if the were to have been left to his own demise, or double-tapped. Trooper didn't say anything, but the look on his face suggested his full agreement.

You're welcome to your opinion. My usual response to unsupported criticism is that I've been called worse things by better people.
I doubt that anyone who knows me would ever think of me as being liberal. They would see me for what I am, a right of center Republican and church going Missouri Synod Lutheran who proudly served his country.
I didn't vote for Trump or Biden because I didn't, still don't, believe that either of them was worthy of my support. I didn't expect Biden to be as bad as he has been, but my 1 vote wouldn't have gone far to offset the 22,091 vote margin that Biden won by in Nebrasdka's 2nd.
I offered to buy a new rescue vehicle for a fire department if they would discontinue the use of NARCAN, but they said that they couldn't, so they are making due with their existing truck. They said that it was inhumane not to save a life when they could and who am I to argue with that? Maybe the local addicts who they save with NARCAN can pass the hat to fund that new truck that they need.

Only complete azzholes place ultimatums on community support.
And an ultimatum that would receive such a predictable result shows your lack of intended support to start with. Doubtful you have much if any history at all of such community support.
I'm sure most in your community are well aware of exactly who and what you are, it seldom takes long for a total POS like yourself to expose themselves, exactly like you did with your local Fire Department, hat's off to them for telling you and your pretend funding to GFY.

I made around $18M, before i inherited any money. What was I supposed to do with the inheritance, give it away? If I'm living off the backs of others, those backs belong to the people rent our resort properties and our farms. If they didn't want to rent the condos or the farm ground they don't have to.
I'm proud to be an American, proud to have served 7 years in the U.S. Army, proud of my 3 successful infantry company commands, proud of my 4 college degrees, proud of my success in business, proud of my family, and glad to have been in a position to help more than a few people.
Everybody has a skill. My skill is being able to cut through the clutter and recognize the root causes of problems such that I don't waste time treating symptoms. The last company that I owned that wasn't vaction rentals or farms was struggling because the owner trusted people who were stealing from him. I got rid of the 6 thieves, did some cosmetic upgrades, implemented a profit sharing compenstion program for employees, and turned it around in less than 2 years. Bought in a $2.2M, put $600K into it, sold it for $5.9M after 22 months. My best investment was my first, had about $1M of borrowed money into it, sold it for around $9M after 18 months, paid the bills, and grew the remaining $8M into $18M over the next 12 years. Isn't growing a business and making money a key component of the American Dream?

Their educations are all paid for, so they don't need to compete for an ROTC scholarship, and they will have a virtually guaranteed income for life as long as there is a continued demand for corn and soybeans. I make no apologies for my success or for the wealth accrued by my parents and my in-laws that my Wife and I have inherited.
It wasn't a wash, apathy like that is why scum keep getting elected.
Second highlighted sentence goes along with the first. Content to live off the backs of others.
Pride is something you obviously lack. But you are not alone, there are millions like you.
I'm not apathetic, I voted for the Republican candidate for Senate, Ben Sasse, and House, Don Bacon.
I made around $18M, before i inherited any money. What was I supposed to do with the inheritance, give it away? If I'm living off the backs of others, those backs belong to the people rent our resort properties and our farms. If they didn't want to rent the condos or the farm ground they don't have to.
I'm proud to be an American, proud to have served 7 years in the U.S. Army, proud of my 3 successful infantry company commands, proud of my 4 college degrees, proud of my success in business, proud of my family, and glad to have been in a position to help more than a few people.
Everybody has a skill. My skill is being able to cut through the clutter and recognize the root causes of problems such that I don't waste time treating symptoms. The last company that I owned that wasn't vaction rentals or farms was struggling because the owner trusted people who were stealing from him. I got rid of the 6 thieves, did some cosmetic upgrades, implemented a profit sharing compenstion program for employees, and turned it around in less than 2 years. Bought in a $2.2M, put $600K into it, sold it for $5.9M after 22 months. My best investment was my first, had about $1M of borrowed money into it, sold it for around $9M after 18 months, paid the bills, and grew the remaining $8M into $18M over the next 12 years. Isn't growing a business and making money a key component of the American Dream?
No, it will not. It is a narcotic antagonist only. Actually, like almost every drug, it’s not wholly benign. There are cases in the med literature of pulmonary edema after Narcan.
Of course in the scenario’s here, that’s not a worry
I didn't vote for either Biden or Trump, so that was a wash. Even if I had voted for Trump, the majority of the people who live in my Congressional District didn't, so Biden won the Electoral College Vote that my vote would have counted toward . You seem to be pissed at me, but what about the 6M people in California who voted for Trump and won him 0 out of 55 Electoral College Votes? At least he got 4 of Nebraska's 5.
I'm not a healthcare professional, so I claim no healthcare knowledge and I don't carry the resources, NALOXONE, to change anyone's outcome. Maybe the best thing to do is to not call 911 and just walk on past, allowing GOD's will be done on Earth and it is in Heaven. Surely someone who cares will take action, right?

Son is a paramedic and gets to see the effects of Narcan frequently. Told me it will blow your mid at the speed at which it reverses OD’s. Like a magic wand.
I'm the IT guy for a Fire and Medic Department. They've told me stories where a junkie coded flatline, legally dead, the did the Narcan and CPR to get it moving through the system and brought the guy back to life. Then the guy got pissed and tried to kick their azz for taking away his high.
If you watched any of Live PD back when it was on they were giving Narcan to druggies multiple shot a night, as I remember they claimed they had one man that was relived 7 times in one night. That is bullshit and a waste of their time!

The only thing I saw was a few junkies puking afterwards. In the olden days we slammed it. People would wake up like a jack in the box. Admin rate was changed to slow titration to restore breathing. We were actually doing that anyway so we could deliver a sleepy patient to the ER. The only thing I saw was a few junkies puking afterwards.
The way this thread has gone, I hesitate to even contribute but there is a point to be made. The one who supplies the financing has the right to place restrictions on the funds. The one accepting the funds has to decide whether or not the terms are acceptable. Governments do this all the time, especially the federal government. A small municipal fire department got a grant to buy a new fire engine but the old engine had to be removed from service. It was still serviceable, fire equipment doesn't really get used that much in reality. There were lots of smaller fire districts that could use it or it could have gone into Mexico or retained as a backup. The new engine needs DEF to operate. But according to the grant it had to be destroyed. In my opinion 260 had every right to place conditions on his donation and the department had every right to refuse that donation based on those conditions.
I offered to buy a new rescue vehicle for a fire department if they would discontinue the use of NARCAN, but they said that they couldn't, so they are making due with their existing truck. They said that it was inhumane not to save a life when they could and who am I to argue with that? Maybe the local addicts who they save with NARCAN can pass the hat to fund that new truck that they need.
Only complete azzholes place ultimatums on community support.
And an ultimatum that would receive such a predictable result shows your lack of intended support to start with. Doubtful you have much if any history at all of such community support.
I'm sure most in your community are well aware of exactly who and what you are, it seldom takes long for a total POS like yourself to expose themselves, exactly like you did with your local Fire Department, hat's off to them for telling you and your pretend funding to GFY.
That was a bold face lie. I don't believe that horseschit for a second.
