[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, how many people on this thread have been with someone who’s od’d? Exactly how common is this supposed to be?[/quote] There was a guy who collapsed on the sidewalk within view from where I was passing by. I called for an ambulance and was ready to pull out narcan but the EMTs got there quick.[/quote] Guy could also have been diabetic. Did you have your glucagon ready next to your Narcan?[/quote] No, but I do try to have something high-sugar just in case. From my experience, people who are hypoglycemic are faint but able to ask for help. If you follow the training, you don't give Narcan to someone who is conscious or able to be roused. If you did use Narcan inappropriately on someone hypoglycemic, it wouldn't hurt them. So, training and preparedness? I don't know that I've ever saved someone's life, but I have helped out a couple of people who were struggling.[/quote]
