I have a friend who’s a volunteer EMT and has basically the same story. Lots of repeat customers, and some people get all pissy after Narcan because it killed their high.
My dude, as a random Internet stranger, let me just say that the world needs more people like yourself. Thank you for being you and contributing to the world what you do.
In New York City, they hand out Narcan for free. They also provide free training for people just in case you happen to see someone overdosing, which isn’t terrifically uncommon.
I work for a city, and we (try to) do the same. Our current issue is that the nasal spray keeps vanishing out of our kits. They’re kept with the AEDs, which are stored in publicly accessible areas in case anyone needs it. But someone keeps taking the narcan out of the cases. It seems like every week or two, it vanishes again. On the one hand, we hope they’re actually getting put to good use. But our local political demographics make us suspect that some asshole redneck is just stealing them to “teach the druggies a lesson” or something equally depraved.
