overdo
[inaudible] 231, we have a 36-year-old male, unresponsive.
Says he is breathing.
It is a 966, for overdose.
Probably coke.
Everybody out trick-or-treating
in the neighborhood, man.
That's all right.
Trick-or-treating in the hood, too.
Heather's at home right now giving out candy.
The lower middle class probably come
to your neighborhood thinking they're
going to get some better candy.
But you know what, if you got that good house,
you always had to double back.
We'd double back three, four times
to get some fresh Snickers.
Well, you got to give it at least, you know, a few minutes
because that-- they may-- - They remember me.
--they may recognize.
[music playing]
Hey, what's going on?
What we have?
She find-- oh, right.
We're gonna start bagging him.
Who is this to you, ma'am?
That's your son?
All right, we're going to take care of him.
Here.
I understand.
We're gonna wake him up.
Just give us a couple of minutes and we're going to get him up.
What's his name?
Theron?
Just keep bagging him, man.
We get a call for an unresponsive
male in a bathroom.
He's barely breathing, and I saw a syringe
laying next to him, indicative that he
had some sort of substance use.
OK, get your Narcan ready, man.
The fire department are doing a great job,
helping ventilate him.
Make sure he's staying oxygenated
while we started an IV and gave a drug called Narcan.
And it basically blocks the effects
of an opiate-based medication or a drug.
Every five seconds on that bag, please.
Rub his chest, man, from the sternum.
Theron!
Can you hear him, man?
Theron?
Rub his chest, man.
Theron!
There you go.
I like that.
Wake up, brother.
[vomits]
Spit that out on your side.
That, too. Sit up.
Just chill out. - All right.
All right, we got you.
Theron, listen to me.
Theron, open your eyes.
You overdosed.
You was almost dead, my friend.
Right, what.
Right.
We gotta take you to the hospital, OK?
Yes!
Yes, Theron, you got to go, man.
Stop grabbing at us!
We're paramedics.
Come on, let's walk outside.
Just had a little accident, Theron.
Just let me see your arm, all right?
Because, in case you duck out again, baby.
You went unconscious for whatever reason, OK?
I'm cold.
Look, I got the heater on.
Any street drugs or alcohol tonight?
Just some weed?
What about the stuff that was in the needle hanging
out of your arm your mama found?
And you--
You tell me!
What?
- I'm gonna whip your behind. - What happened?
What, Mom?
You don't know?
What you mean "what happened," Theron?
I don't know.
You need to stop.
Your child saved your life, OK?
Stop, Mom.
Your child saved your life.
That's all you got to know.
What do you mean he saved my life?
He come and tell me you were up
up there asleep on the floor!
On what floor?
In the bathroom, Theron! [crying]
Man.
It's all right, Bev.
We got [inaudible].
[inaudible] you don't get it.
You're upsetting your mama, bro.
You're upsetting your--
I'm OK, man. Let me out.
All right, no, no, we're gonna go [inaudible]..
[music playing]
Because you overdosed and almost died.
How many times do I have to say it to make you believe?
[music playing]
Oh.
Dude, that last call was crazy.
[inaudible]
I ain't gonna lie, his mama made
me want to cry a little bit.
You know what?
The son and the mother was the victims in that.
I talked to him in the hospital.
He's-- I just hear, he's like, "This is a damn shame."
I said, "It ain't a shame."
I said, "It would have been a shame
if you'd have died from this." - You're right.
It's like, because you do have a son.
You got a nice family.
Right, right.
So he's like, yeah.
So well, then-- then don't let it be a shame.
Learn from this.
Move your life forward and be a better person because of it.
It affected me that, you know, the kid
found his dad like that.
I mean, it's-- no kid should have to do that, you know?
Most children are out trick-or-treating
and having a great Halloween, and this is his.
You know, sometimes it's just not fair.
