- Dr. Steven Parr discusses the stages of a heroine overdose and what medical personnel do to save an overdose victim at Tradition Medical Center in Port St. Lucie.
I used to be on heroin for 6 years. I began snorting and ended up shooting up. Now I'm almost 4 years sober and so glad I got off that I have an almost 2 yr old little boy that I have to live for. But whenever I meet heroin addicts I tell them about my story and hope they will change.
Yanis Montoya congratulations on your sobriety! I'm 6 yrs sober 💜
Cute too
Congratulations, keep going!
👍👍👍👍👍👍 YAY good for you!
Yanis Montoya The struggle is real!!! Congratulations!!!
I found my brother dead last year in my living room. Sad thing is that I was sleeping. I wish I would have known that he did heroin that night, I might have been able to save him.
I'm so apologize for your loss John. May your brother have found peace in heaven...for sure he found it. Think that the good person they go to house's lord before or the other indeed because they are better of the the other.
Tootsie Roll it's ok, my cousin died 1/18/18. He dies at 10:00 at night. I wish I could have stopped him too. May your brother rest in peace.
Rip to all . Its not easy to stay clean ppl know but got 6 days
My sister is in the ICU right now for this. She is unresponsive and having seizures. It's been about 24 hours so far.
Sorry for your loss man!
The worst? Finding your child dead in your home. People who OD do not just go to sleep. It is a horrible way to die and even worse to find your child deceased. We did all we could. We tried it all. In the end, addiction won. We will never be the same 😢
I'm so very sorry. 😞
I'm so sorry... I found my son also...twice. 1st time in 2016, it was so traumatizing to see him gray & foam coming out of his mouth... I lost it. 911 hung up on me because I wouldn't calm down!! .I had a panic attack AND had to do cpr.. I was in therapy for 2 yrs.. I was never the same... Then he did it again. 4/6/21. I couldn't believe it. This time I was also furious! Thank god I still had narcan in my medicine cabinet! He is fine... I'm so broken... I can't keep doing this... but I can't just throw him out & risk finding him in the woods ...too late. I just cant.
@@jade8568_VR The dispatcher that hung up on you should lose their job over that! That's unacceptable!
@@jade8568_VR I’m sorry to ask but does he remember any of this happening ? I am just wondering what my brother experienced
@@dennisaulrich6811 no you dont remember stuff at all i never thought i would od in my life but i did i cant even remeber when i took the last line (heroin from europe so no fentanyl) that night and if my mama hadnt come into my room at 6 am i would have died at the age of 18 but i dont jave any memory from that night no paramedics not that my breathing completely stopped apparentely i was out for several minutes and they told my mom they would try to get me back the only thing i remeber is waking up in a hospital bed after ive been in a coma for 3 days but if everyone has the same experience i dont think he experienced anything at all my family are the ones with the bad and traumatic experience as i didnt even realized anything my lil brother also saw me like this and my body is not even addicted atm its only my mind really would have never thought it would hit this hard and the scary thing is the first time i did that first line i kinda lost every respect i had of the so called worst drug heroin really never try it out im even romantiscing the shit out of it in my brain since last week like the ritual of snorting it and smoking and listening to music the way it would calm me idk the bad thing even if i almost died theres no way i can think about never doing it again in my life the next time i get money and out of quarantine im gonna buy new stuff and i know i scared my mama sm she was already scared what id do when she sleeps before this happened but know she thinks that some morning shes gonna come into my room again seeing me lay there like that again and i know all that and still dont wanna stop im sorry for writing all this but theres literally no one i can tell this truth not even my therapist haha cause i know im gonna scare everyone even more but to answer your question again i dont think he felt anything i think as soon as you body od and got that lethal dose inside of you you dont even realize your out of it for possibly forever
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for becoming a doctor and helping people with this condition and other issues.
My cousin's daughter died of an overdose and she was just 16. Her funeral was one of the most gut-wrenching things I have experienced.
swashline if she was using heroin at 16 her life was going nowhere. Sorry to say.
swashline
I'm so sorry.
It's the most horribe thing and I hope one day you will be able to enjoy your life again. Sending warm and heartfelt thoughts your way.
Eliminating the middle class? Is that why there’s so much more heroin on the streets today than in the 90s?? Way more on the streeets now, prob 10 to 15 times more.
Generic Name not true at all. Anything is possible with God.
Drug dealers should be shot!
My 25 year old brother in law died of an overdose today. He died alone in a crack house w/his whole life ahead of him. Please don't turn to heroin. Please value your life; it's precious.
so sorry for your lose.
Thank you... :( I only pray for is at peace now..
Choctawnic wow, only 25. I'm sorry for your sister :( losing a husband I can't imagine. Life sucks sometimes
Thanks, but it was my husband's brother, and he was unmarried.
I'm sorry to hear....next month will be one year that my brother died from an overdose. His girlfriend left him in a car overnight for 10 hours dead before calling for help...then claimed common law marriage to where we couldn't make funeral arrangements.
I am now 6 years sober with my fiance who i been with 8 yrs. There's hope. Love yourself . Reach out to me
I wish I would’ve saw this. I wish I had known my cousin had been on Heroine. He just died from an overdose. 🥺
Happy for you!!
I had to Narcan my husband tonight. I’m 20 weeks pregnant with our first baby boy.... all I can think about is how scared I am he won’t get to meet his father. This post gives me a little hope- thank you..
@@Nandrews0519 Im sorry for your loss 😔. Its a heart wrenching feeling don't blame yourself
@@TMD8282 thank you so much! It means alot!
My neice just passed away from an overdose, 3yrs earlier her brother passed from the same thing. They were such sweet innocent children at one time. Had the world ahead of them to do great things, please please encourage our children to stay away from drugs and alcohol because death hurts! Especially for the ones that are stilling living in this world. May God grant forgiveness and Peace for all.
Sharon McKew Yes, Sorry about your loss. I found my brother dead last year in my living room.
So so sorry for your loss,I found my son dead in march last year,the autopsy came back as cocaine toxicity, I really don't understand all this,I had no idea he was taking anything,I worry that he suffered alone,does anybody know what happens,was he aware he was dying
@@tinaashley7802 they arent hurting anymore. only the ones left behind feel the grief and sorrow, so sorry
oh my god.i feel for you.since free heroin in my country the heroin on the streets is not so strong anymore.people these days use the weirdest type of drugs ever.i wish you a lot of strength with the loss.god bless
its a lesson for u stop giving your loved ones opiods
Oh how I wish that act was here in Canada. I lost my youngest son two months ago to overdose. He’d been trying to detox and died alone on his floor. He was severely malnourished from years of drug use. Heroin became fentanyl. I’m heartsick, we tried everything but force to help him. He needed forceful detaining, it’s a horrible detox and he tried many times. Rest easy my son, I love you for your trying.
I’m so sorry for your loss. My cousin overdosed. The girls house where he was just watched him die. She talked about him drooling and wouldn’t wake up just awful. She didn’t want to call the ambulance because she had the last 2 weekends before for other people. He could’ve been saved.
@@Lynn-zx3th that’s horribly sad. There’s just so much lives gone too soon.
I was a heroin opiate addict for 15 yrs over half my life . ive overdosed 4 times i now have 8 years clean and would not trade the life i have now for anything . its no joke .
17 year addiction, 6 years clean & I wouldn't trade mine for anything either. My old life was no life at all.
how u got off heroin
@@nola1501 one day at a time and lots of hard work took me awhile
@@michaelbirdsong196 It's quit a challenge huh? Good for you man that's awesome. I was able to quit cocaine and alcohol at home, but I had to move out of state and cold turkey methadone and fentanyl to stop both of those which was insanity and torture in the short term to the point I didn't know what to do with myself at all but yell in pain, having said that it was all worth it in the long term. Im 6 years clean now, and live in a beautiful home with a wonderful family. Glad you got clean, but im rooting for all those who are still using to get clean and lead happy lives.
This isn't stages of heroin overdose. It's more like, "how an overdose is handled and what to expect." I was hoping for the medical explanation of decreased oxygen, perfusion, possibilities of rhabdomyolysis and brain damage. Kidney failure..that sort of thing.
Monica R
Exactly.
I thought the same, they missed the title totally...
Obviously you know it so what more would you be looking for?
Same. Still a great video
@@thatchickcrissy frrr
Same
My son was addicted to cocaine, and other drugs since out of high school. Then after some surgery it was opioids. Was saved 5 years ago with narcan. Suffered a heart attack. And now 3 years clean. He’s 44 years old. Took over 20 years to get him off the drugs. It can be done but takes lots of hard work. Be strong people, you can do it!
It's never over. I know someone who was addicted to heroin and homeless for 10 years, and now lives in 3 million dollar house, and just recently bought a 300k mclaren. Your son can achieve anything he want's in life if he's willing to work for it. Amazing story to have gotten clean after over 20 years, and very motivating to anyone struggling because it show's even in the worst situation's you can come back. Your son is a very impressive kid, which is another reason I know he achieve anything.
I was a heroin addict for 8 years and have overdosed twice. Narcan saved my life but God does it suck! Every addict I know including myself shudder at the thought of Narcan. Like the Dr said it puts you into full blown withdrawal which imo is worse than slowly going into withdrawal. I've been clean since 2013..kind of. .I'm currently on subutex but it's saved my life. Unfortunately I've lost 12 friends to heroin and even oxycodone and would not wish addiction on my worst enemy.
If you still struggle with addiction, it's important to evaluate thyroid function. Ray Peat.
keep going strong. Your loved ones want and need you around. I lost a friend last Oct.
Congratulations on your 8 years of sobriety! Im so happy you are alive sweetie :)
Hope you are still doing well!
Ląţïñã Băŕbïə subs aren't clean. Your just addicted to a legal substance. Quit taking them and welcome to hell. Best thing i ever did was get off heroin an subs. It was complete hell but my life is so much better. Best of luck. Going through the agonizing pain for weeks is worth it in the end
Thank you, Dr. Parr and Tradition Medical Center, for taking the time to share this information with the public. Every effort helps.
That process he describes at 6:25 - holy crap
What I've Learned that is fucking crazy
What I've Learned my mind was blown
Halberdier
what!😨 That sounds HORRIBLE!
Do you work in healthcare?
I'm an RN and have assisted the doctor with inserting one. I spent a week in a coma when I was 15 and had a central line (for blood poisoning) and still have the scar where the tube was and a little line where the stitch was. It's crazy but it saves ur life.
What I've Learned 💉💉💉
Very educational! Thank you. Dr. Parr did a great job explaining with just the right amount of medical terminology.
A guy that worked for me passed away from an overdose a week ago. I haven’t talked to him in a couple years but when he worked for me he didn’t even drink. He was a good kid and great worker. I found this video to see what and why it happened. He was only 28 so so much life left to live. His dad is in rough shape and he worked for me as well. I guess he started using in the last year. I don’t know how or why he started. His dad is the one who found him. Such a tragic thing to happen. I know it happens all over this country but this hit close to me. Prayers going up for anyone who is struggling with addiction. Good bless.
I couldn’t imagine witnessing a loved one post overdose and still choosing to use the same drugs that killed my son.. Hell the fake overdose of that girl on breaking bad scared me away from that shit. I’ll stick to weed 😷
Thanks Doctor for doing what you can for the people that over do it with drugs, you probably don't know just how much parents appreciate professionals like you..
Again Thanks from the bottom of our hearts.
Thank you for this information, Doctor. I love your thorough explanation on how an overdose is handled at a hospital.
What an amazing doctor
I cant imagine the pressure a ED, Docter is under when he or she is placed in a situations such as overdose and has to make the right call. You know what they say high pressure produces diamonds tho. Thankyou to all docters across the world, i appreciate all the work you put in to save lives every day, my upmost gratitude
They are screened to be cool cats.
i lost my brother to a heroin and fentanyl overdose. so heartbreaking. awful drug.
It is. Fentanyl is the most dangerous drug. I'm so very sorry about your brother Sarah, that's just so awful.
@@billj4525 thank you for your kind words...❤
I've lost my mom two best friends a cousin and more from overdose thank you for what you do
Thank you for all your hard work for Our sick people here in the US. I too was once that way. "Thank You"!
This is 2022 the heroin is all dirty .Lost My brother in-law and both of his sons to it .😭💔RIP We miss you all so much .😓
I'm so sorry for your loss, may they rest in peace. Heroin in of itself is dangerous but this cut crap that's contaminated with fentanyl is just evil. The people that knowingly cut the stuff with fentanyl are just evil
I’ve lost several friends to this, just trying to understand this more in hopes I can help.
My friend just overdose last night. She is dead. Ive never used, and honestly im at a lost for words and have so many questions that will never be answered. Please. Stop using people! Your family and friends need you!
I'm so sorry
A friend of mine called me on the phone right before he did heroine and I heard him nodding out on the phone, I kept asking him if he was good but got no response, then I heard a noise like he was choking and hung up and called 911 for him thankfully they revived him with the narcan and told him if they were just a few minutes late he would've been gone, thank God for putting me on the phone with him that day
You are not a friend but an angel.
Always knew when a new batch of heroine came in, because the overdose rate in our ER would dramatically increase for several days, until the users became aware of the strength. Never understood why the users wouldn't do a small amount first, with new batches, so they could judge the potency and try to avoid overdose.
Susanne Griffin they're probably dopesick and trying to stop feeling this way. It really takes over their mind.
Susanne Griffin as an ex user i can tell you that we did do small doses with new batches. Fentanyl is crazy strong.
Susanne Griffin Assuming they have that much rationality left after prolonged drug use, afterall drugs changes your brain foresightedness and decision making skills. 😊
Susanne Griffin - the doctor answers your question at the one-minute mark - he is describing fentanyl giving a very small therapeutic window - what he means by that euphemism, is the difference between an effective dose and an overdose is tiny.
Imagine you were that responsible user preparing to test a new batch with a small amount, how small would you go? One half a normal dose? One quarter? One tenth?
The doctor describes the regular fentanyl as one hundred times the potency of heroin, and the carfentanyl he says is one thousand times, so even if that responsible user did one-tenth of a normal dose, if the test batch had been cut with fentanyl they could be overdosed not just by a little bit, but by up to ten times, and if it had been cut with carfentanyl they could be overdosed by, worst case, one hundred times.
Even if the people cutting in the synth opioids reduced the amount so overall batch strength was the same as heroin, imperfect mixing could mean tiny clumps of the synth opioid in the mixture could still lead to an overdose.
So, perhaps you can see how easily even responsible users can end up with an overdose, and when it comes to junk, I'm not sure how many there are of those.
@@K1lostream My understanding here was that fentanyl is 100 times stronger than MORPHINE and carfentanyl is 1000 times stronger than MORPHINE. Maybe it is comparable to heroin not sure but this is what he said. All I know is that my daughter is dead from snorting this stuff and she was not a junkie. Even is she was, it is so sad that all of these young people have no clue what these drug dealer and so called friends are giving them. There are those out here that might want someone dead and they have access to a drug that kills and nothing is done to the killers for it. I came here to find out what my daughter went through. I was told by the medical examiner that she did not suffer. I hope she is free now, but I am left to suffer the rest of my life.
Shit still makes me cry man... He was a good person a good soul and just all around good person would do anything for anyone and I was one of his few true friends. Sucks it's been so long
I’m so sorry for your loss 🙏🏽
I'm not one to do drugs but many years ago, I was in a bad relationship with a guy who used herion (we met in middle School when he didn't do drugs) and I got so depressed and felt stuck so I tried herion. I was really lucky bc I only tried it three times and on my third try, I overdosed. Last thing I remember was sitting on my bed and then I woke up in an ambulance. They had to intubate me. I remember the paramedics said I was breathing 4 times per minute. I'm lucky bc well I didn't die and that experience scared me so much that I never touched herion again and I stopped before I was physically addicted so I didn't have any withdrawals. It woke me up and made me realize how serious that shit is and easily I could be here and gone the next. It took some time, but yes I left him. He's in jail now and had been for the last 2 years bc he never stopped doing drugs and ended up stealing a bunch of stuff. I'm now happily married to a great guy. I wonder how close I was to death. Unfortunately I didn't have a near death experience seeing the other side or anything but I lived. I never got to thank the paramedics but I did tell some random paramedics I saw about my story and thanked them for what they do bc I want them to know that not everyone they save due to overdoses go right back to it.
Susan Eaton glad you’re doing well
@@Z_Co95 thank you
Thank you so much. I'm trying to help people I know from school.
You guys are heroes, you save these people but then they leave hospital and do it all again. Super smart doctor by the way and you explain things really well xx
My Son was a heroin addict. He just was found dead from a "bad batch" on June 1st 2020. He was only 26. I've laid awake night after night worrying he suffered horribly when he passed. I had seen him 4 days prior ans his last words to me were "you'll never see me again" as he was angry and on meth and he was schizophrenic also, unmedicated. I miss him so much. Very informative video. Thank you.
I'm sorry about your son...... I understand I'm really sorry. ❤
@@wendyhenderson8563 I'm so sorry for your loss.
@@dreuthomas1266 Thank you so much. ❤️
My brother was also schizophrenic and he was using heroin and meth .. I think they try to feel normal with these drugs .. sadly they take it so far
Sorry for your lose…I just lose my only brother to a overdose on heroin it’s such shocking to me and im still grieving as i typing right now..I wish I was there with my brother I would of save him
off topic this guy made me think, damn I was I had the courage, brains, and money to go to Med school
Jonathan Bierman 💯
I found my fiance after he had locked himself in the bathroom....he was 6 years sober...he used and it killed him. I keep asking myself what if and if only ...could I have saved him😭 I miss him so much...blessed are those that get the help in time.
I lost my daughter to fentyal on sunday 4/10/2021 im still hurting
Thank You Dr. Very informative. You are appreciated.
I was given fentanyl as part of my anesthesia for a laparoscopic procedure and I had the hardest time waking up, it was absolutely horrific, saw double for hours, I was terrified I would be stuck like that. I cannot image doing that drug for fun. I couldn’t even stand up for hours. That drug is really something else.
Luckily in my country ... we are not being given fentanyl. Way too dangerous.
Every drug is way different before you have a tolerance. I hated opiates the first few times, but once I developed a tolerance to the nausea and dizziness and was able to walk around I loved it.
I was a heroin addict for a long time. I got clean for 3 yrs and then decided to use and oded. After that I got clean and have two amazing kids that need me. Life is so much better now that I'm sober and living a wonderful life
I’m very proud of you. And I applaud you for doing everything you could to get to where you felt you needed to be. It always begins with recognizing self love and appreciation. ❤️Continue on your route angel!
My older brother passed away at 33 last month a day after my moms birthday the night before he went to see my mom and give her a birthday present . I’m so heartbroken I just hope that when he went he didn’t know and he was at peace .
My sister died 2-6-21. From heroin overdose. My world is shattered. I had no idea she had ever tried heroin.
@Cheali Berta thank you it’s changed our whole lives my birthday was 4 days before my moms as well .. so now this is our new birthdays every year
@@amandamartin2777 I’m sorry for your loss .. I didn’t know my brother was on it until 3 weeks before he passed
Great educational video.
Douglas Chitwood , It is not crazy. These people have an addiction that they can not overcome by them self, and they believe they are only going to just do it one more time then they withdrawl again.. it is actually really sad, you must not know anyone addicted to opiates... it is just a sad reality..
it is really sad my brother is addicted to that crap
Your brother doesnt give a fuck about you and is probably robbing a house with kids in it for his next fix. I fucking hate heroin and the pieces of shit addicted to it iwish they would all overdose and choke to death on there own vomit with no sympathetic piece of shit hero around to call an ambulance
BRANDON MACKENZIE MARTIN It's not really fair to judge people like that. You never know someone's situation.
Ive had friends die of heroin i have been around heroin ive been around drugs alot of my life i know dealers who were involved in many overdose cases that ended in death heroin stips people of their own humanity and creates a demon that serves the high it chases i fucking hate heroin and i laugh at people overdosing and my dick gets hard when they die
I pray for everyone that has used it and I pray that people don't even try it
I have lost so many loved ones from dope. Nasty drug. I will pray for every user, everyone in recocery, and all their families. My cousin has been clean for some time now and also has a beautiful 17 month old and i pray to god she stays on the right path. She was a addict for 16 years
RIP to my brother, he passed away in the restroom and I wish I would’ve came sooner. He almost overdosed 2 times before and I feel like its my fault for not being next to him 24/7
It wasn't your fault.. I'm so sorry
I feel the same way with just loosing my only brother from a overdose.
Very well-spoken, professional and amazing information.
I cant personally understand how it feels to lose a loved one or a friend to heroine, but my dad told me a story today. he said that he had a friend he was with a day before he od that he considered a brother to him. the last thing he said to my dad was “im gonna go get my heroine and ill see u tomorrow brotha”, shook hands and went there separate ways. the next day my dad heard he was fowned with the needle still in his arm behind a gas station
Thank you for taking the time to explain this, I've been booted out of hospitals so quickly and nobody really bothered to explain what the heck just happened..... 😶
Satin himself come crawling out of your bones when you are revived with narcan.
Wow. I’ve been clean from heroin for 10 years now. I overdosed so many times in my addiction to the point where narcan didn’t even bring me back right away I needed multiple shots of narcan one time. Thankful I got clean right as fentynal started coming out. All my friends are either sober or dead. I absolutely hate dope.
Same here, very Thankful to have gotten clean right before the fentanyl was in all the dope. I've lost important people in my life but also seen many recover Thank God!
@@81SB i did a small bump thinking it was H and ended up ODing. Narcan saved me from the fentanyl OD.
Hang in there friends. At 1st recovery was hard but now i dont think of it. Find a hobby if you want to quit.
Love to yall
@@daBEAGLE1017 Glad you're okay. I always look at the obituaries from where I used to live and am seeing people who I used to use with dying all the time still, and I don't think it will ever stop. 95 percent of the people I used with or even just people I knew of who used heavy opiates are dead now. Obviously since fentanyl came out things have been out of control. The amount of people from my white suburban high school who use opiates and have died is staggering. I have been clean for 6 years myself and live in a beautiful house while having an awesome loving family. I can't ask for more myself. I agree with the find a hobby advice for people who want to quit. Glad you're clean bro.
We just lost my nephew of 22 years old to this crap. I dont wish that pain or hurt on anyone.
My friend just overdose. I'm trying to figure out how. She knows all about every drug and to overdose i really can't understand. 1-16-2020 Rest in peace
@@malcolminthemiddle8777 my condolences to you and your friends family. Yes, may she rest in peace.
thank you what a great doctor
11 years sober this year. Lost a good friend yesterday and many more over the last year. Thank you for saving these folks. Sometimes people do change thete lives. My life is vastly different, I have a very successful business. A family. My life is great. Refocus the addiction and sky is the limit.
This is going on my favorite list; I am also going to recommend that it be shown alongside the addiction disease model video at the treatment center where I attend IOP IN Oakland Park. Very well done, Doc.
I have had a nephew pass away the day before his fathers birthday (which is my brother) this left him very deviated. Please ask for help, before it's to late.

#davesandersstepdaughter
My sister in law was sobered for 7 months when she died from an overdose a few weeks ago. My heart goes out to families who have gone through this! 🙏🙏
My brother had passed in august this year and he tried dope for the first time he was doing other stuff but he was used to the those dosages that he dabbled with so when he tried this for the first time it took his life but 1 thing that gives me peace is he had a relationship with God and plus he didn’t suffer bc his mind wasn’t even conscious or aware of the state he was in
Great video! Very educational and informative. I liked how Dr.Parr really went into what happens to reverse it so everyone can know the process. He should be on Dr.Phil and Dr.Oz! He's very smart
my close friend was 20 years old. he tried heroin once and overdosed and died. he had 2 little girls. he can never take back that decision. i was not there but i wish people knew the signs of an overdose
This is interesting. I recently called 911 for a young man OD-ing. He was flat on his back with eyes wide open and unresponsive. This helps me understand. They used Narcan on him and he woke up right away. I've done this as part of my job 2-3 times.
I was on herion for a couple of years I’ve been clean for almost 10 years now. My most beloved uncle that was like my brother him and I were very close, was found overdosed on herion and whatever it was cut with. I had to see my loved one laying there completely lifeless and blue. There was no bringing him back he was there alone for over 8 hours just dying all alone. I’ve never felt so helpless and sad. I’ll never see him again. I’ll never be able to hug him again. I’ll never be able to tell him how much I love him or how much he truly meant to me. He was my buddy. I feel i will never be able to get over this. Sad part is this wasn’t intentional it was accidental as most cases. He was clean and doing so good then this happened!!
Salem I love you so much! I can’t express how much I’ll miss you. Fly high you’re with God now and out of pain. My life will never be the same.
This should be mandatory viewing for students in every school in America
Well done doctor. What would the world be with out people like you . Amazing. Keep up the good work 👍
Sorry to hear that. You can't save them all . Keep up the good work 👏
Somebody that truly loves you will never do drugs with you
Not necessarily true, some people’s mind sets become so distorted while on it that they believe the drug is amazing. But if they already know better and have been in it for a while than yes.
Depends on the drug, really. I can definitely see a loving couple experimenting with LSD.
*Always Love*, you are wrong. Please get mental help
@ALWAYS LOVE
While in some contexts, like getting a sober person to use, you’d be correct;
In most cases, having someone you love with you actually keeps you alive. Kind like a babysitter.
You can’t narcan yourself if you go out, you know?
My fiancé relapsed and overdosed December 12th after over 4 years clean from drugs. He never woke up and passed on Christmas Day. It is heart wrenching. He struggled with alcohol but I never ever thought he would go back down that road. We had both lost so many people to it he was so adamant he would never go back. A doctor gave him Klonopin for anxiety and 4 days later he was back using again. It was like it just put his brain back in addict mode. I will never understand. The doctor gave it to him despite knowing his history of drug abuse and his struggle with alcohol. His mother sent her a prayer card and a letter. Please if you are a recovering addict be very careful about the meds you take!!
My husband of six years just died on 3/15/22 of heroin overdose while I was in treatment. I am crushed and unsure of what my life will be like without him, but it isn’t getting both of us
Hello Melissa, I have no idea the pain you must feel. My father passed away last year from a heroin overdose. I can’t say I know what it’s like to lose a spouse. I can tell you that there is hope in Jesus. People may flick past your story and forget, but Jesus knows your pain and he can take that burden from you. The grace He provides is greater than anything a person like me could ever give you at a time like this.
@@elijahwright2916 I am so sorry about your father. My heart aches for you. Thank you, for your kind words. I have a very deep and personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I always run away from him when I was using but he is always right there waiting for me. I have been sober since 2/7 and without that close relationship with Him, my husband dying would have sent me into a downward spiral. I have hope for the first time in a very long time.
@@elijahwright2916 Jesus and Suboxone saved my life. I took fentanyl and oxys for 13 yrs my last use was 4-12-13 my Dr was my dealer
I am so sorry for your loss. People are so broken they use drugs to fill the hole only Jesus can fill
Melissa I am so sorry. You CAN get clean if not already. Jesus and Suboxone saved me
This I just learned from my emt paramedic friend tonite that narcan is available at pharmacy, some communities it is free, and PLEASE if you have any loved one struggling with opioids have this in your home! It can help save their life until help arrives
This should be top comment.
The title for this vid post is misleading. " Stages of a Heroin Overdose " there was no explanation of that. All there was, was an explanation of what typically happens when a patient is admitted at an Emergency Room presenting with a drug overdose. And how doctors treat that type of a scenario ⚛️
I lost my cousin last Friday for overdose of heroin..today we are devastated
If you’re using the dog food, remember you can always put more in, but you can’t take any out. Be safe. I believe in you
You can always do more. You can't do less.
I've always said it's the devil's daughter. You don't touch it. It will own you...
i had the unfortunate opportunity to witness an od from a guy i didn't know to well...but he came in our house and i guess used it in the bathroom or idk but when he sat down we thought he fell asleep so we tried nudging him, then his face turning purple and he made these gurgling noises as we did everything trying to wake him and after pouring a bucket of water on him we were calling 911 and they said he died and if we hadn't called right then he wouldn't have made it. They said his heart stopped and all this was so upsetting. Please don't let this happen to u. Its not worth it. This just happened a few hours ago and idk what his results are or if he made it or not yet. I just want people to not be afraid to call 911. Help the person without fear of being persecuted because they were at your place. The paramedics said this is an epidemic in our town right now so he knew it was an od and what type it was. This guy was so healthy and had so much going for him.
Frugal ETee On Earth that sound meant he was already dying. You saved his life.
I lost my two brothers 1 year apart to over dose...the day they died, their pain stopped, my forever pain began! I tried for years to get help,gave up my life, it still didnt help!
I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my partner 3 weeks ago to a drug over dose, he went into the guest bathroom, an it had been 25 mins I noticed he was in there too long, I called his name twice no answer opened the door found him on the floor, face blue he wasn’t breathing, called 911 they said do chest compressions so I did until they arrived. They weren’t able to save him. He was 33. 5 months clean. 😥
@@krowdnthestreets4491Thank you for your kind words! Please know that from my heart iam so very sorry for your loss! My life has been so painful since the death of my two brothers..i truly hope that you can find peace n comfort in the good times you had! I will keep you in my heart n prayers...if your on Facebook n would like to keep in touch let me know...its good to talk to people who have went through similar situations!! ❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
My brother died Dec 4th 2019 of heroin laced with fentanyl poisoned. Noone even knew who did anything but weed we think he was coping with the sudden death of our cousin a few months earlier he was close with..fentanyl homicides/poisoning they are on the rise! My friend lost her son recently to Carfentinil poisoning!!! Please educate your kids teens family friends! If u are an addict I pray you get help!! 🙏🏾 losing too many people to this bs
Its always the junkies problem, not yours. Let them know they are loved.
So happy and blessed i was able to get sober. I hope this epidemic can be taken care of someday
This Marchman act is not a good idea. I understand if it is someone with mental health but not a heroin user. 72 hours is just long enough to get their body clean for them to come out and OD. If y'all have a 72 hour hold than they need the resources to place someone for longer treatment. most of the time they say there is no room and you have come back until there is an opening. make sure there is a place for these people to go if you are going to hold them!
adamsangie1 exactly. I know someone who was Marchman acted and they found a way to get drugs into the facility they were at and when they got out continued doing drugs. It does no good forcing someone into rehab. They will only stay clean if they really want to.
They basically want the people to overdose.
Cause "brain death" is the first stage and then you can earn their organs.
Watch this:

Because of mental health abuses in the 1970s and earlier it is almost impossible to commit someone long term in the US. They need to have severe mental illness or extreme violent behavior and it then requires a court to determine that the person can no longer make decisions on their own.
LukeL007
Don't know how the Op meant it but I'm completely against taking away someone's freedom cause of drug use. - So " "long term" isn't an option anyways imho.
My bf died of that this mother's day..as soon as I heard the news I started drinking & took a bunch of pills overdosed too ..my 5 year old son called next door neighbor & saved my life. Almost lost 2 parents in 1 day...drugs n alcohol r no joke
Pushers need to be in prison for attempted murder,because that’s what it is.
Yes l agree the dealers are scum but the addicts choosing to buy the drugs have to have some responsibility as well!
At 5:38; I think he meant Narcan or naloxone; not "fentanyl".
walter rodgers III this is a doctor... he knows what he is talking about 😏
Yeah, because you definitely know more than this doctor...
Benjamin Zipser You're an idiot. Walter is right. The doc meant to say Narcan. If you paid attention at all you'd know this.
Yep! Good catch! I’m an RN and didn’t catch it! Lol
My son died of a heroine and the doctor told us he felt no pain. I wish I knew
Vicki Lee he didn’t
They’re telling you the truth. I overdosed and after I was revived I had no idea what happened. It felt like I went to sleep. The only pain I had was from the sternum rub...well that and being deathly sick from the Narcan. It was so peaceful that I told my family if I ever relapse again don’t Narcan me and let me die. Death is better than being a full blown addict.
My best friend died of a fentanyl heroin overdose on 6-11-20 DON'T DO THAT SHIT, NOT EVEN ONCE. He had his whole life in front of him, had kids and a loving family and we all tried to help him but in the end his love for opiates killed him.
Don't be him.
My mate went over 6 times this week. 4 times we had to call the paramedics. The other two I brought them round myself.
It's NOT the smack killing him, it's all the valiums and pregablins he takes first, then later on he'll take a tiny bit of smack and go over.
Which is what I've been telling him.
This is in the UK, so our stuff is generally not laced with fentanyl and what not.
Regardless, I don't want a mate of mine dying in my arms a second time!
The 1st time my friend was killed by drinking at least 18-20 cans of super strength cider (8/9% alcohol). He drank a whole crate virtually, then we shared a £10 bag (not a lot at all!). He shot it up and went over, thing is, I'd nodded off beforehand and didn't know he'd gone until I'd woken up at least 30min later. I know the times involved cos we'd been watching a TV program and it was at the end when I woke up.
I did CPR but he died in my arms.
Last night something similar happened with another friend of mine. Except there were 3 others with us, and they were on the case. Called the paramedics. Though I was surprised at how little they knew what to do and I had to take over doing CPR and recovery position and whatnot.
Scared the hell out of my friends, and depressed me. But we brought him back from death. HE DID DIE, TOO!
Totally blue, no pulse, leaking snot, phlegm, piss etc. from every orifice. HE WAS DEAD.
I'm amazed we brought him back.
I was actually on a narcan drip. It was the absolute worst thing I’ve ever had to go through in my entire life. I wanted to crawl out of my skin I could y sit still at all I was shitting all over in a pan while the nurse was holding it under me. It was a horrible experience
The last time I overdosed, during an arrest, they put me on a narcan drip as well. It was horrible. The few times I woke up, it felt like I was in a tortuous seizure. So much pain. The last time I woke up in the E.R. was as they were shoving a tube down my throat (to put me on a ventilator). I yanked it out (thank God they had not inflated the balloon yet), at which time I was quickly restrained. A guy jumped on the table and held my head as another attempted to get me to open my mouth. The guy trying to force it in my mouth ended up hitting me so hard he cracked a tooth. I have no memory after that, guessing I went back into the overdose, until they took me off the vent and I woke up in ICU 3 days later. Long story short, I ended up going to prison for a few years after. I was under arrest during the incident. Although I don't wish prison on anyone, it saved my life. By the grace of God, that was my last overdose. That was also my last time using. The majority of my friends are dead. My life is now devoted to helping women transition from incarceration to society. That narcan drip was no joke!!
I've overdosed from heroin about 5 times in my short life, never went to the hospital because my partner was too scared, everytime he revived me with cpr and narcan
Never new about that end discussion and so sad my son just past away was found in tha car didn't have the help missing him rip Alfredo MelendezJr 28 😢 💔 😔
The way this doctors speaks it’s as of all people who OD’ed will come to with narcan. What happens if the dose was laced and the patient is not responding to narcan? At what point does a crash cart need to be called in? How long is cpr performed before the call is made because studies outside the US promote a much longer cpr time then the 20 minutes most institutions use.
I just want more and more information. How conscious/lucid is the person who has OD’ed?
Sad to hear about Demi Lovato still having complications.
i couldn't keep watching after 6:40... man o man..
My friend just passed away today of a overdose . Very sad 😢
Great video, thank you. I work as a psych liaison in an ER in Pueblo, Colorado. Pueblo, a city of about 100,000, has the highest rate of death by opiate OD in Colorado. Not per capita, just pure numbers. Greater than Denver metro, population approx 3 million.
EVER BODY GET HELP TO GET OFF OF IT. STAY OFF. NO NEED TO PAY DOPE DEALS R'S BILLS!!!
Demi Lovato sent me here.
me too
hope she gets better soon :(
She had a heartattack and 3 stroke 😢
Thank you. You explain real well
I've been a heroin addict since 1997. A few ODs, worst one happened before there was Narcan. Anyway, 2 months ago, I took 2 Xanax bars but there was no Xanax in them. Pure Fent and it took 8 mg of Narcan nasally and a Narcan drip in the ER overnight with the line in my foot. I didn't believe there was no benzos in those bars til they showed me me urine drug screen results. No benzos at all in them. I live in Philly. This is what's going on here. I should add I'm on methadone maint, 120 mg/day but those 2 "bars" whooped my ass.
Yeah in Philly there is a MAJOR opiate problem, the streets are run with Fentanyl, everything will be laced with Fentanyl, try to buy drugs on the black market or from someone you trust!
I wanted to know what my baby River Phoenix was feeling
that guy been gone for a long time now. See the episode on Ghost Adventures where they featured him ?
Elephant TRANQUILIZERS?😳
Eliana82 yup ketamine :/
Eliana Israel i said the same thing 😯😯😶😶🙈🙈
My jaw dropped.
Imagine getting to that point in your life, that injecting elephant tranquilizer, that you got from some stranger, seems like a reasonable decision :(
joshx413 smh
I used herion for almost 15 years of my life. I wa in human trafficking for 6. If i couldnt put it in a needle i wouldn't do it. I met my husband 2018 and he was blind to my addiction until he witnessed it first hand. We had a son and he was a couple months old when my husband looked at me and said i don't want to have to bury you alone with our son and that was heart breaking to me. I stopped cold turkey i did it for them . I lost my mom and dad to over doses. I have a story to tell and i want the world too hear it
I just want to know what my brother went through before and while he was passing. 😢🙏🏽🕊️ Rip baby Bro🕊️ 7/3/21 💔
What a lovely drug. It sounds just like a picnic in the park.
Very informative. Thank you :)
I lost my brother to a drug OD 3 days ago. 😥 Why do some make it and some dont?
Very informative. What excellent work you do, many thanks.
Yea doc you dont wanna be spraying fentanyl into your OD patients nose 5:37 lol
dimitri he meant narcan
even if he did mean fentanyl it depends on how much
I laughed that was funny
