Think about it for a moment.When 911 is called you have the police notified,The Fire Dept Emergency Unit is dispatched and then an Ambulance is called.Think of the expense right there.
The one way to stop the consumption of these illegal drugs is to not rescue the users following there overdoses.That will be one less drug user and Health care dollar consumer.
Re : Post #13
The actual number of heroin overdoses is much higher than reported. I know this because the local hospitals distribute free Narcan; and I know people have had to use it to revive friends of theirs.
Naloxone, sold under the brand name Narcan among others, is a medication used to block the effects of opioids, especially in overdose. Naloxone may be combined within the same pill as an opioid to decrease the risk of misuse. When given intravenously, it works within two minutes, and when injected into a muscle, it works within five minutes.
The medication may also be used in the nose. The effects of naloxone last about half an hour to an hour. Multiple doses may be required, as the duration of action of most opioids is greater than that of naloxone.
I hear you but it has gotten to the point that if the police don’t have Narcan in the car with them, they are probably going to be sued.
It sucks but these is the result of liberal policies.
Remember, Obama just pardoned a bunch of these dope dealers who caught fed cases. The FBI, ATF, and DEA are not amused.
You shouldn’t be either. The average dope case has a million dollar budget assigned to it.
If only it were that simple. How many of us have pain killer prescriptions that doctors insisted we fill, but didn’t need? Sometimes I wonder if it’s lazy doctors who don’t want to be bothered with calls if people actually need these poisons. So many people have become addicted because of a pain killer instead of working through the pain.
not only are we NOT not responding to these deliberate drug disasters, we are bending over backwards to enable them...
