Puke - All over the place!

Last night i hear, "468 start towards xx and xx street." I think to myself what the crap, why are people getting sick at 4:00am.  Freaken...  All well we are in this to save lives right?  So we roll up on scene and i ask what the call is.  24 male suicide attempt.  We walk inside and fire is on scene and i ask was this really a suicide   They respond with heck no, he was just high as a kite.  Just took so much that he forgot how to breath (sucks when that happens).  So on scene i start an IV in this crappy apartment that had no lights, filled with the smell of dirty dishes along with used cigarette butts all over the floor and side tables.  You know the best place to start an IV right?  Here is the student, surrounded by 5 firefighters, 2 other ems personal, and 2 cops - no pressure right?  BOOM nailed it.  Then pushed .5mg of narcan (the antagonist to the medication abused).  Then just like that 2 seconds later awake and pissed!!! we then all the sudden mister OD (overdose) remembered how to breath and yell, but that is it.  We tie him down and make our way to the cot.  We had to carry this guy down some stairs and even though we had tons of personnel it was just me and another firefighter. I was tired.

So here is where the story gets interesting, we leave the scene and while en route to the hospital the pt starts to forget how to breath again. Mostly because The medication narcan that we pushed does not last nearly as long as the opioid.  Boom, another.5mg pushed.  Then he wakes up a little more this time pissed as ever, now just me and my medic holding him down this time, which was fine.  Just as we pull up to the hospital he begins to gag, my medic and i both think SUCTION!!  Got it ready and just as all was assembled, Vomit everywhere  like a fountain   Literary watching this guy he the thin brown nastiness poured 12 inches from his mouth.  Suctioned, just enough time to see this guy covered in his own vomit, which pooled in his ears, eyelids, and left a layer of brown all over his face my freaked left leg and my ambulance floor. Then he did it 3 more times, this time i was able to turn his face to the side so i just went to the floor.  Where i then began to dry heaving of the smell and shear nastiness.  This time the fountain shot from his NPA and nose along with the mouth.  I am surprised i did not cuss (which my EMT complemented me on) being amongst all the cuss words brought by disgust. Man BARF that was gross, but hey we saved a life :) Till next time.  Oh and P.S. it took over 45 to decon the truck. Nasty.

The nastiness of the night.  Actually early morning.
 Not to self never let anyone sleep at my house that i have just met at a concert hours before...
