    Fake was obviously a poor choice of words. It was enough to wake them out of the nod. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

    23 y/o male overdose

    I've never seen a legit opiate od where they started gagging. I have however seen a fake one sit right up on the opa attempt. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

    The first thing I always do when someone starts waking up is tell them to pull the opa out of their mouth. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

    23 y/o male overdose

    And if they have one then it isn't an od 1. That's what the original post is correct? Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

    23 y/o male overdose

    Ok maybe with some kind of oral trauma but otherwise why wouldn't you try to use the opa first? Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

    OPA, assist ventilations with a bvm for 2 minutes, narcan, continue assisting w/bvm until he wakes up... Simple BLS call. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

    Having trouble taking blood pressure?

    I used to put the diaphragm up to my ear and the ear tips under the sphygmomanometer. It would really screw up my vitals.

    Smart watches on shift?

    I wear a Pebble during work for that exact reason. Also keep in mind that the battery life on the Apple or android wear watches blow.

    Restraints for combative patients

    LOL @ "Urging the pt to calm down did not bear fruit." I don't think telling someone to calm down ever works but it's always funny seeing people trying it.
