– There have been some interesting comments on What About Nebulized Naloxone (Narcan) – Part I . Let me start with the sarcastic comment that suggest that everyone is opposed to treating patients with heroin ODs (OverDoses). – Image credit. – Mike writes – Why do we even touch the OD patient to begin with? They didn’t call for an ambulance. If they’re breathing, let them stay. They paid for their fix, let them enjoy it. If a person is not requesting medical help, is breathing adequately, and protecting his airway, how do we justify treating the patient against his will? – They obviously cannot be helped by any sort of treament program and would never benefit from medical care. Where does this conclusion come from? This is something that is completely made up by Mike. Nobody has suggested anything of the sort. – Why should feel some sort of responsibility to help these patients? Because they might have families and children? Screw that. They obviously want to die, or at least get high, so what business is it of ours?
