View Quote They are never happy to see the medic either. So definitely, let the guys without guns take care off it. I don't think cops should give it. But that's a weak excuse. |

dont most people revived on narcan get pissed you fucked up their High anyway?

Not sure I agree %100 with that. Sometimes kids of junkies will injest or otherwise consume haroine. I think they should carry it. Their duty is to protect and save lifes. Anything that can help them save lives should be utilized.

So once we get respirations back to normal levels we call it good and let the ER take care of the rest. We(EMT) were only allowed to use the nasal spray shit though. Paramedics could give it IV. |

My brother is a junkie, last time I heard he OD'ed, I just wanted to know if he lived.
I hope he goes back to prison soon, or doesn't live through an OD, just so I don't have to worry about him as much. He is not ready to change, so those are the 2 options I live with from him. I don't wish it on him, and wish he would choose to get sober, but that's not the reality. |

Intra-nasally administered narcan needs to be ambu bagged in to really take effect, at least to someone who is really blue. It's not a pulp-fiction wake up when you spray it up their nose.
I personally don't have a problem with cops (who have very minimal medical training) not administering medication. We have EMT's, medics, and nurses for that. Let them be cops, that job is hard enough. |

If the Paramedics want to give Narcan, that is up to them.
There should be no expectation for Law Enforcement to do so, that is outside their scope. Plus, ultimately it is the Junkie who created the problem, so ... |

Is an overdose of Narcan dangerous? What if you give a 70 pound child a dose of Narcan more suitable for a 220 pound adult? I say leave medical treatment to medical professionals. View Quote |

They should carry it for themselves at least. Fentanyl is nasty and if an officer accidentally comes in contact he should inject himself.
|

I empathize with the families of junkies...but bottom line we should not be spending the money for non-medical professionals to be administering Narcan to junkies. I read somewhere that they have librarians giving narcan to these shitheads in public libraries. We are bleeding tax dollars yet spend them on instead of deserving folks.

I'm not even kidding when I say that stories like this are what make America great.
Nowhere else in the developed, 'westernized' world would someone find the balls to do/say this. Nowhere. |

It's a waste of money as far as I am concerned. The addicts carry their own narcan now.

Yeah. You are suppose to give just enough to keep them breathing but still under. Most people just slam it to piss them off because fuck them.
If the RN at the hospital are cunts to you, Slam it just as you unload them and they will puke and fight in the ER. |
