FULL TITLE: America's heroin epidemic laid bare outside McDonald's: Shocking footage emerges of the moment two men had to be rescued after overdosing in a parking lot
A disturbing video has emerged showing the extent of the country's heroin epidemic, with two men having to be rescued after overdosing in a McDonald's parking lot in Ohio.
The video, taken on a cellphone and posted to Facebook Live, has been viewed more than 50,000 times following the incident in Sandusky on Thursday afternoon.
According to police, a group of people found one man passed out behind the wheel of a car, and a second man unconscious on the ground by the vehicle.
The video begins with the man, Eddie Wimbley, pulling up at the McDonald's in his car and asking somebody to call 911.
Others quickly arrive at the scene and try to help the men. They determine both are breathing, but while the driver soon comes to, the man on the ground will not respond.
One woman, who Wimbley said is a nurse, takes charge and attends to both men.
Paramedics soon arrived at the scene, followed by police.
Wimbley, who had his four-year-old son in his car, said he was worried the man on the floor was dead.
'He wasn't moving or responding or anything,' Wimbley told Fox 8 Cleveland.

we expect drugs and we get them...antibiotics, pain pills....we want them...
and the docs have to follow Jacho in that all pain must be treated no matter what and must be documented that you treated it....
Narcan Is a miracle antidote if you can get to the drug abuser in time. It's as if the abuser is coming back from the dead.
The only problem is sooner or later the abuser will kill himself as they never give up the heroine addiction.
I believe that the current heroin epidemic is an unintended consequence of FedGov’s war on prescription opiates. Sure there were pill mills and people getting into trouble with these substances but they are relatively safe compared to street drugs because the dosage is known. Now that the supply of prescription opiates has been curtailed the street price has gone up to the point that heroin is less expensive. Some people are going to want to get high - unfortunately that is their nature. The stupid ones are overdosing which is one way to clean up the gene pool.
SA would have been a bonus.
Another song Clapton "borrowed" from J.J. Cale (RIP). I'm a bit of a Cale fan, I admit.
I’m glad I had enough common sense to never ever try heroin. Crack and PCP were no goes for me as well.
I still like old fashioned rock and roll but to hear it I have to listen to Texas style country music not that Nashville homogenized stuff.
Received the following article this morning. The multiple-award-winning documentary, “The Greater Good,” was initially released in 2011. The producers of this film are allowing a full and FREE viewing through 11/25.
Passing it along since it addresses issues pertinent to you. Perhaps you have already seen this film. A producer of “The Greater Good”1 has also released short videos with outtakes of interviews that were conducted for the film, as well as other information covering a number of vaccine topics. There is a 2nd video on this topic, in the same article.
Why would there be more? Is illegality YOUR primary reason to not use heroin? Fear of addiction and death are mine - and those are independent of legal status.
On my way to and from work I pass the parole office, methadone clinic, and drug court (where they give drug tests to probationers). Their parking lots are packed. It is very depressing when you think about the implications of how busy they are.
It’s no coincidence that heroin abuse his skyrocketed since we’ve been in Afghanistan.
I never thought heroin would be chic after the dawn of AIDS.
Unbelievable.
The overdose problem is common for idiots. It's that simple.
What annoys me is that they ALL sing through their nose. Thus, the "twang." Irritating to listen to when I HEAR some wonderful voices....a-twangin' away. WHAT a waste of a good voice. My opinion only.
