    Living in Las Vegas I think we need to blast your video on the billboards. Everyone needs to have narcan on hand to help out with the opioid pandemic. Thank you!

      I'm inclined to believe with Narcan, the cure is worse than the disease.

    When you mention that all of the pain a patient previously had will come back immediately, you should also remind that the patient will be in full-blown opiate withdrawal which is most likely the reason for hostility

    When I was in grade 10-12 there was an opioid pandemic. I graduated in 1999, I'm 40 now. And thankfully it never happened to me but it is still happening. I recently picked up a kit from the pharmacy. I hope I never have to use it. Thank you for the video!!

      It wasn’t half as bad then as it is now. I am 43 I graduated in 98 I don’t remember no opioid pandemic down at all media people did it, but it wasn’t. They weren’t dropping dead like they are now not even close.

    I got a Naloxone kit because I go to festivals and other events during the summer and I wanted one handy. (my brother-in-law lost a nephew to a fentanyl OD.) I'm glad I watched your video now I understand a lot more on the drugs work and the responses to expect. Thanks for doing this.

    I overdosed on heroin one time and they put Narcan up my nose. I swear to God when I woke up it was like I had so much energy. I didn’t know why everyone was around me staring at me. It was so crazy, I want to know why Narcan put me into rapid withdrawal. My skin started crawling, I was sweating, it was hell. So I want to know what’s in Narcan that makes someone that overdose is going to withdraw

    • @NurseMinder
      @NurseMinder  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks for sharing your experience. When Narcan is used, it will look for any narcotic and remove the narcotic from a receptor site. And then Narcan will block that site so the medication cannot find. It is as if you have not taken any medication once Narcan is on board. Problem is Narcan only last for a short time, and then as it dissolves the medication will again connect into the receptor. So it can be a up-and-down ride

    Hi Mrs Tammy, I enjoyed watching you explaining Narcan also known as Nalcoxone and how they can be a pain reliever for Opioid.
    I found this topic interesting because I am a Human Services major at college and have taken some courses which explains addiction, pain relief, aging, substance abuse and so on.
    Can Narcan make a person addicted just as if it was a prescription or another drug.
    Also, I checked out your mask fog prevention video an hour ago and found it helpful to learn about how to reduce foggy glasses.
    I left behind a link to a product that may help because I purchase mine's last Monday and it has made a difference in wearing a mask to where I can breathe better and less suffocation.
    I also have some other tips on how to reduce foggy glasses.
    1 Use good anti-fog product.
    2 Place glasses on top of the mask.
    3 Fit mask to your face.
    4 Use medical tape to create a seal.
    5 Absorb the moisture by inserting tissue inside the mask.

    • @NurseMinder
      @NurseMinder  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Malik. Narcan does not create an addiction. Narcan has no effect on someone who has no opioids on board.
