Seriously, you can just inject it without any harm?
I was at the CNE in Toronto recently and they had a free narcan table. The person was busy so I walked by. Now i regret not waiting
The city I live in has a fairly bad homeless problem and drug use that comes with it. Just last week I walked past some office workers who had to call an ambulance on a guy that was having troubles, not sure what the trouble was. The guy seemed out of it but was eating a sandwich but just out of it. The ambulance showed up as I walked past. And this is a common sight at lunch.
I should have grabbed a kit just in case
You don't inject it, it's a nasal spray
This is why I didn't think I could handle the responsibilities.
Initially, it was only given by injection, but now it's common in the nasal spray. That's what's great about the nasal route, it's unintimidating and you can't fuck it up. ...I guess unless you squirt it in their ear or something. lol
Well, if you touched the applicator it would be quickly obvious
be careful the guy that you wake up with narcan doesn't punch you in the face
My parents have plenty of stories to tell of patients dying of an OD being pissed at them for 'ruining their high'
