Yes, during my career my crews and I responded to a lot of people who had lost consciousness after taking the wrong combination of drugs or drugs and alcohol. Most of them lived to tell the tale. The majority who died had taken illicit drugs where the potency often varies. Some died because they intentionally took a lethal overdose then called someone to save them after it was too late.

In my case, my primary care physician didn’t realize what he prescribed to me since everything was still done on paper and he had 15 years of notes on me. But also, my pharma never raised the red flag. My new PCP had all my information in his system and on my first visit after all of this happened said to me, “why aren’t you dead?”
