Last shift was a doozy and another rare "first" for me. We had so many heroin overdoses that we ran out of narcan and had to call to the main pharmacy and get more.
For laypeople narcan is simply the reversal agent for opiods (narcotics) :
you give narcan/naloxone and USUALLY the OD pt comes out of their self induced near dirt nap. I've done this for a while and was quite frankly amazed that we had this many in a single shift. One or two sure it's expected in the urban environment but several in a span of a couple of hours?
Whoa take it down a notch...'kay?
On a separate note Crusty has once again recerted. Here is to another few years of serving the public. At least I did not have to work St. Patty's day.
