How to respond to an opioid overdose

Dear Patient,

In this episode I hope to cover a very basic approach to managing an opioid overdose. I wrote this as a bonus episode with the goal helping anyone who finds themselves in a position where they need to respond to an opioid overdose with no other resources. This is not a replacement for seeking medical help and not a replacement for first aid training. I hope you never need this but I recorded this if someone finds themselves in this position. Remember, we are stronger together, the medical community is here for you, and YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
