So EMS just walked in the door with a screaming, agitated, combative patient wearing a spit mask. I asked what his problem is. I was told by the medic it was a narcotic OD. "Narcotic OD?" I asked, "Sounds more like meth."
I though about it for a second and looked at the young medic. "Did you give him Narcan?" I asked.
"Just 2."
I have noticed over time that a medic's usual Narcan dose is inversely proportional to his years on the street. A twenty year medic starts with 0.4 or less and titrates up from there.
