Get a call the other day, 20 something year old male supposed overdose. Dispatch said he took 20 antidepressants. Arrive on scene to find him with altered LOC (wink wink) Eye fluttering, you know the rest. Says he only took 3 extra pills. I grab the bottle and call ER Doc, and read the name and mg. Doc says it quarter strength and he would have to take 3 bottles to hurt him. But we ran the call just like normal, oxygen, IV, drew labs yadda yadda. Vitals are great, but hey he might have taken something else. Bring him in the er and he is still moaning and acting like he is dying. Doc walks up and tells nurse to put in a folly cath. Most remarkable recovery I have ever seen Within 30 minutes he wanted the cath out and wanted to go home. Got to love an ER Doc with a sense of humor.
