That is exactly what happens to the ODs I have to deal with, especially if they just came off of a 2-3 day run on meth, even with no other drugs, meth heads crash and can sleep for a day or two. Fentanyl, etc eventually knocks them out without anything else, usually people think they are already dead unless they breath loudly enough once in a while. We get some low O2 reading, respirations in the gutter...inhaled narcan can take 5-10 minutes sometimes, and usually it wears off. Some coworkers have given 15 doses, and even then they may still die...AEDs don't help with this shit, they only work on vFib or vTach. Just O2, CPR, and counter agents... It's all so tiresome...
And what you described isn’t cheap either. People bitch about the healthcare system, but nothing of junkies gumming up the works. This may come as a shocker, but a lot of these junkies can’t pay all these medical bills. So the tax payers and the people who do carry health insurance, eat the costs. And shit go to just about any ER at any given time, in a major metro area, probably about a quarter to a half of the triage/census is fucking junkies.
You are exactly right. Healthcare cost are increased based on he amount of non-payers. Health insurance cost are increased based on the amount of continually expensive treatments based on negotiations. When we import people who get married and have insurance or medical, and get treated for 5-6 cancers at no cost to them over 2-3 decades. We eat the cost, sometimes as taxes, sometimes as premiums.
