Wait a minute- Narcan? Test strip?

Hey, I am a surgeon.. we make fast decisions...

I just read this from a medical report and it is referring to a NY newspaper? Wow what a fantastically stupid thing to base medical decisions on.

States Appear Divided Over Use Of Fentanyl Test Strips To Combat Overdoses

The New York Times (10/1, Hoffman, Rios) reported the spread of fentanyl “into most kinds of illicit drugs has pushed fatal overdoses to record highs in the United States.” The Times added, “fentanyl test strips have become a popular but contentious tool in response,” as “supporters say they help drug users make lifesaving decisions” while “opponents contend that they facilitate drug use.” Although such “test strips are a part of a broader approach called harm reduction,” they “are illegal in about 20 states – including Florida, Texas, Kansas and Kentucky.”So apparently there are some test strips to check for fentanyl in the case of whether or not to use narcan. Simply put they are illegal in TEXAS….. good thing. “end quote”

If a kid or someone say 12-45 are found down, barely breathing turning blue.. nothing wrong with hitting them with a Narcan injector… and maybe a bottle of D50W to put some sugar in their veins in case they are a diabetic and not wearing a bracelet.

I am not a trauma/ER doctor, but as a surgeon we tend to make snap judgements based upon experience. Do you want your doctor running away from your bedside so they can go google what they are thinking? Unfortunately, today many young doctors are actually very likely to do that! As you are taking your last few breaths.

Pray that you have a grey haired old doctor or a grey hair old nurse in the vicinity to wake up the young resident first so they can then wake you up. To take a millennial phrase and use it… “Just saying!”

And I must also say that we are experiencing a B and C attack from the NBC concerns we have had for years. A BIOLOGICAL attack with spike protein virus and vaccinations that are worse than the virus… and now a CHEMICAL warfare attack mainly against our kids. Not spray planes buzzing cities, or vapor bombs in subway (like JAPAN!) but simply, colored candies brought in a back pack on the back on an illegal immigrant crossing the river after they pay their 5500 dollars to the cartel coyote and get handed a back pack to take “en el Otro lado” - with a caution not to touch the candies.. they are “muy peligroso” - And the Democrats are opening the border as wide as possible to this obvious Chemical Warfare Attack on our United States. Fentanyl made in China, then compounded in Mexican pharmacies for distribution. Hell yes we know where they are. Have your local official explain to the parents of the family at the grave site why those death factories are still standing on the Mexican side of the border!
