 It It was great to have Deputy County Attorney Dana Owens back with us, along with the amazing Erin Ortega, who not only directs the county's Diversion Program, both also works with the Narcan program. The two of them explained how Naloxone/Narcan can save lives by reversing any kind of Opioid overdose. Naloxone, the active ingredient in NARCAN® Nasal Spray, competes with Opioids to bind with the same receptors in the brain, reversing the effects of an opioid overdose in 2 to 3 minutes. This allows time for emergency medical help to arrive. They also told is that there are no detrimental side effects if the spray is used on someone who is not actually experiencing an Opioid overdose.  Dana, Laura and Eric show the boxes of NARCAN nasal spray which were given to all of our club members in attendance at last week's meeting, to keep in case such an emergency arises, and it is needed. The boxes contained two nasal spray dispensers. In most cases, they said, a single spray in the nostril of a person experiencing the effects of an Opioid overdose is sufficient to bring them around. However, they advised standing clear of the person after using the spray, since they tend to awaken rather violently.

Things I'm super good at:
> Forgetting someone's name 10 seconds after they tell me.
> Buying produce...and throwing it away two weeks later.
> Digging through the trash for the food box I just tossed, because I already forgot the directions.
> Making plans. And then immediately regretting making plans.
> Leaving laundry in the dryer until it wrinkles. Then turning on the dryer to dewrinkle. Then forgetting it again.
> Calculating how much sleep I'll get if I can just "fall asleep right now."
__ Every morning I get hit by the same bicycle. It's a vicious cycle. __ Doctor: “Your problem is you sit too much.”
Patient: “I understand.”
Doctor: “Exactly!” __ Trying to get my head around the fact that 'Take Out' can mean food, dating, or murder. __ Somebody gave me a flyer on anger management. I admit, I lost it. __ Someone said, "Nothing rhymes with orange." I said, "No, it doesn't." __ My dog is half pit bull, half poodle. Not much of a watch dog, but an absolutely vicious gossip! __ |
