I saw the episode.
Sublingual would be under the tongue into the oral mucosa. This is not what happened.
They administered Narcan via deep injection under to the underside of the jaw. In reality with the length of the needle they used, it would have gone through the full depth of tissue...
When I'm the morning group for the academy I get up at 0400. I'm not fond of it especially on nights when my insomnia hits me and I don't sleep until 1am.
Never loved something I hate so much.

Mind you there are great companies out there but they are massively outweighed by bad ones.
