    The application of medication isn’t exact. There are many uncertain variables at play when someone is dying. It’s quite possible that its not the only reason the patient is crashing or they’ve taken what some call a ‘heroic’ dose and its simply wasn’t enough.

      Yep, other conditions, other medications, who knows? And each person is unique.

      As I understand narcan, it more assertively binds to the same receptors as opiods like fent, effectively blocking the body’s response.

      But if it’s been long enough, the body has already reacted to enough of the first drug, so the second (narcan) can only do so much.
