how many are the same user over and over and over again?
a fire fighter buddy of mine says it's so frustrating - his shift starts and they get an OD call - they narcan "dave" and now dave is mad that they ruined his high. 3 - 4 hours later, they have to narcan "dave" again... and again he's mad that he's no longer high. 3 - 4 hours later....
it's just an endless cycle.
my next door neighbour is a public health nurse. the 'record' for giving narcan to the same person over a 24 hour period is something like 25 or 26 times. it's just brutal.
