which one? Narcan? The whatever against anthrax (that I have a brain fart against). I missed this
Narcan
I missed the whole discussion, but I think all emts carry it. Even in a hospital if you take an opiate you have a standing order for it. So I totally missed how this came up

It came up when they were asked about the Heroin problem in NH.

Oh, I have many thoughts. But at least they're talking about mental health as a real medical issue instead of those are the only people who have weapons.

YES. I am so sick of generic "mental health" being the scapegoat for violence.

H just said that all LEO in MI carry that overdose antidote that HRC just talked about. Apparently, it's short acting and they still need immediate medical attention, it just buys more time. Interesting. Something I didn't know.
What happens is sometimes the amount of opiate in someone's system may be so much that after awhile, if one dose of narcan has worn off, that person may go back into OD, and you need to admin another dose. That's not always the case though, and you don't necessarily require medical attention, but it will certainly be a good way to have a more pleasant (medically assisted) detox and then (hopefully) get treatment. Once you admin narcan, you go into immediate withdrawal which is extremely unpleasant and awful. When I train folks on how to recognize an opiate OD and administer Narcan, I always include at least two doses in the kit because although IL has a Good Samaritan law, people are still scared to call 911, and I wanna be sure they have enough to admin two doses if needed.
Haven't you heard? The timing was a DNC conspiracy to keep Bernie down. Millions of people have now been denied the opportunity to hear him talk about the billionaire class in response to a question about ISIS.
