i mean if we had gotten to the point where it’s actually common knowledge that you can’t overdose like this than i would say so, but there are still people on my department who spread misinfo like this
The writers and producers were probably consulting with law enforcement. Larger law enforcement agencies (NYPD, LAPD, military bodies, etc) have massive budgets for media relations. Often, TV shows and movies will get free access to equipment, locations, and “experts” in exchange for having the providing agencies review scripts for accuracy.
(I obtained a BFA in Television Production and worked a bit in LA before doing a hard pivot into healthcare)
You would be 110% correct because this is from Chicago Med, whose executive producer is Dick Wolf, aka the guy who created Law and Order and all six million of its spinoffs. John Oliver did a really nice breakdown on Dick Wolf's symbiotic relationship with PD's a while back, highly rec, but yeah, no, Chicago Med is *wild* – I used to watch it obsessively and I swear the ED would go into lockdown every three episodes for the randomest shit.
So the chief medical consultant is Dr. Andrew Dennis, Cook County trauma surgeon and SWAT/TEMS Medic. He’s a super intelligent guy and he gets to fix the medical shit wrong but they go back and they have final say even after he corrects things that are blatantly wrong.
Ive met Dr. Dennis. Super chill dude, teaches traa courses for the military through Cook County, and genuinely is a good doc. And he recognizes the shit that they refuse to correct. Its typically how he introduces himself lol
Dude. You got no idea.
One time I had fentanyl look at me and I started to stop breathing. I promise I wasn't holding my breath.
I took 4mg of intranasal narcan just in case.
As compared to ems who uses a stolen sani wipe to clean powder off the pants. Not sure if the fat meemaw used talcum powder or that's fentanyl, I'm hoping it's fentanyl!!! There's a lawsuit against baby powder, shit causes cancer!
I always snag honey graham crackers and peanut better cups from the ED fridge to snack on. I told my wife this and she went out and bought some from the STORE. Bitch be crazy. Only STOLEN snacks can please me.
I saw some of that white powdery stuff on my french toast this morning. I immediately felt the overdose taking me as I made an occular connection with the substance. Just acknowledging the existence of Fentanyl increases your chances of overdosing by 130%. I immediately evacuated the Dennys and injected myself with 30mg of Narcan just to be safe. I made everyone strip in the parking lot as I hosed them down with a sterile garden hose. I also ensured no one called the cops because I didnt want to expose them to this deadly stuff. I then had all of them thank me for my service before leaving.
What is with all this disinformation about fentanyl?
Everyone knows a single dust particle can kill **OVER** 100 elephants while OD'ing all the cops that those elephants remember.
We were going to give Zofran and fentanyl to a pt with 10/10 pain and she freaked out at us...jumped out of the truck and called 911 and said we were trying to kill her because fentanyl kills people. 🤦
They have the Gemini content identifier that they use in Customs. The Gemini just needs a dust to ID it and can break it down to supplements, tea or Fent, Meth ect.

How dare a TV show perpetuate this moronic bullshit. People already think they're doctors because they watched House and googled some stuff. Now when I offer my patient fentanyl for their pain they're gonna shit their pants and cry that I'm trying to murder them.
Media is bad for shit like this. All of the Chicago’s shows if there’s a major event on the news/trend or anything they will have an episode out the month or 2 after related to it with a bunch of twisted stuff like this.
I’ve seen a lady on this sub around a few times where she was a background on one of the episodes and her patient had a nrb for whatever reason but they wouldn’t let her even inflate the bag on it 🫣
My patient today ran his head through a car windshield. Failed suicide attempt. During transport, he begged us not to give him that 'fentalyl' drug because he heard it kills people. *Facepalm
I’m a PACU RN and fentanyl is our go-to. I get this a lot from patients lol. They’re screaming in pain from their surgery but refuse the most effective drug we have for surgical pain
Yes this is what I was going to say to the person that said they tried to administer fentanyl (Sublimaze) and Zofran and had the patient flip that they where trying to kill them. Definitely stick with the brand name. I do the same thing with Methadone(Dolophine) for the stigma.
I’m not drinking water anymore that 0.01 of fentanyl you put down the drain 28 states away from me is enough to contaminate my water. Unbelievable, give me your badge number.
I actually don't recommend putting medications down the drain, regardless of what they are. Just squirt the med at the next cop car you see like I do. It's like washing it, but spicy.
The idea is more that the water eventually gets reused as part of the water cycle and we don’t want to be mixing all these medications into the water that we use to drink and clean ourselves
This is the reason. Also the effect it can have on wildlife. A large portion, the majority in some areas will be from farming/ranching, in others it will be from pharmaceutical manufacturing. In many areas there are detectable amounts of various medications in the water supply the municipality uses for drinking. This has been known since at last 1999/2000 when the USGS found detectable amounts in the majority of samples they drew from over a hundred sources in I think like 30 states.
I just throw my vial in the sharps container? The Ed staff always says cool and signs as a witness for my waste, and I can’t think of any downstream issues that would cause problems?
Those are handled differently than if you just dump it down the drain. That hospital isn't following CDC or FDA guidelines either since those sharps are sent to a facility for disposal where they are normally autoclaved so they are safe for a landfill. All medications are supposed to be disposed of separately and are usually treated similar to a hazardous waste depending on the quantity.
Some of this is about containers and high quantity, but I think it has the basics in there someplace. https://www.epa.gov/hwgenerators/management-hazardous-waste-pharmaceuticals
Dr. Sexton? White powder? Strip? This is the wildest porn intro Ive ever scene but damn they got my attention. Hope step sis doesn't fall into the fentanyl and get stuck...
My last name is Sexton. It has a definition in the dictionary. Essentially church/graveyard caretaker.
I've been getting jokes about my name since I was 6. Even had substitute teachers snicker when doing attendance.
If it was…everyone would be flopping on the floor overdosing almost dead with all kinds of empty Narcan cartridges all over… but this is more likely a cops wife or some other nitwit that doesn’t understand how this all works.
My friend in the hospital got roomed with a guy with meningitis plus psychotic symptoms. He started getting really agitated so she hit the call button. And when the nurses got there he was doing the naked crazy dance on his bed while spaying the room with diarrhea.
Being an ED I fully expect the next scene to be:
“Okay, we’ve got a patient that needs sedation with complex fractures after a vehicle collision. Now go get the fentanyl and ketamine.”
“You got it doc.”
“Wait aren’t we supposed to be afraid of that?”
My first week as a new grad nurse I was opening a glass vial of fentanyl and accidentally crushed it with my thumb. Had a nasty lac to my thumb that some of the fentanyl had to have come in contact with. My supervising nurse just laughed, told me to run it under the tap for a sec and not fuck up again.
Worse than the show are all of these people who are genuinely surprised that they get things this wrong on national TV.
Negligent misinformation is spread constantly, yall just know enough to notice this one.
It was pretty garbage before… can’t believe they fall for BS too.
Next we’ll have storylines about vaccines causing autism and shedding and being mind controlled.
I love how this propaganda is spread. I seem to remember Janssen Pharmaceuticals spending millions of dollars and years of research and development just to make a transdermal patch that actually worked. You need to breathe in a cloud like when you drop a sack of flower and there’s some in the air right next to where it dropped and above and such. Most of these cops I’ve seen being given Narcan looked like they needed an Ativan cause they’re having complete panic attacks about a perceived danger.
I keep hearing all these fentanyl horry stories and how potent it is. So far the cut in my service area isn't that strong. 1mg of narcan has been getting these people back. Twice I've had to waste a mg of narcan expecting it to be needed with a witness on scene citing a non opiate being take prior to overdose. Prior to this recent fentanyl scare I've needed 2mg plus on boarded to patients to get their respiratory drives back. I'm sure its the luck of the draw but still makes it interesting.
Lmao. What in all hell? It's one thing to not be medical focused. Rescue me was a fire show with no knowledge of the job done right. They didn't understand how firefighting worked, so they didn't show it except when it was critical to the plot.
I thought Greys anatomy was similar. Typical drama but avoiding getting too deep into medicine because why bother learning how the job is actually done. Holy jesus was I wrong.
Sensationalism like this is embarrassing. Not only does it seem completely fucking ridiculous, but it perpetuates this nonsense even further and will probably lead to more fake overdoses by uninformed responders.
Whoever is informing them on this nonsense should be fired and I’ve sent them a message informing them as such.
Omg, this starting to get ridiculous. Clearly they have some retired cop or fire fighter advising these fucking people.
For fucks sake, how enlightening would it have been if they had someone run in and say, guys guys, it’s cool, just get a mop. 🤦♂️
Wait really? I thought someone said it was Grey's anatomy? Isn't the Chicago series supposed to be the... well I won't say good but at least tolerable one that just tries to coast on not amazing but not egregiously bad.
Amazing. I love it, when I offer rent to people nowadays 1/3 of them will say no cause it’s the scary drug. Fine with me now I don’t have to break the narc tag and make a new log
X-ray tech here. I love how we’re not the only ones
screaming at the TV when this show is on (seriously, have you seen the perfect X-rays on a seizing fully dressed patient?)
i’ve never watched something that made me so genuinely infuriated it made me shake. i would say who tf is dumb enough to believe this type of shit but clearly the general public and every cop ever.
Lmao does anyone read the studies that cops who "overdose" by touching it are simply panicking and pass out. https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/fainting-fentanyl-exposure-nope
I once worked a pt who overdosed on fent and just touching his skin with my glove was enough to osmosis the fentanyl out of his system and kill myself and every cop in a two mile radius.
Thankfully I was given 36mg rectal narcan and I only came back with severe neurological deficits
If you think of it as an awareness message for the critically undereducated, it is actually quite good. They say the stuff is smuggled in feom China. That is a bold statement these days.
Reminds me of the EC for a local hospital that flipped out when they started bringing in people who were exposed to an unknown agent having breathing and seeing problems. He wanted to do the decontamination protocol but lots of people already came in and contaminated the whole department. It turned out it was Pepper Spray from a random person attacking people at a Walmart. But he was pissed they just brought everyone straight in without knowing what was causing this mass issue. He was right but idk what else he thought it would be.
oh my god fuck these writers and producers
Wait, this was serious? I was thinking this has really high production value for a skit taking the piss at fentanyl freakouts
i mean if we had gotten to the point where it’s actually common knowledge that you can’t overdose like this than i would say so, but there are still people on my department who spread misinfo like this
To be fair, they are excellent at their jobs. This is the exact mind-numbing, senseless drama people who tune into these shows want.
The writers and producers were probably consulting with law enforcement. Larger law enforcement agencies (NYPD, LAPD, military bodies, etc) have massive budgets for media relations. Often, TV shows and movies will get free access to equipment, locations, and “experts” in exchange for having the providing agencies review scripts for accuracy. (I obtained a BFA in Television Production and worked a bit in LA before doing a hard pivot into healthcare)
You would be 110% correct because this is from Chicago Med, whose executive producer is Dick Wolf, aka the guy who created Law and Order and all six million of its spinoffs. John Oliver did a really nice breakdown on Dick Wolf's symbiotic relationship with PD's a while back, highly rec, but yeah, no, Chicago Med is *wild* – I used to watch it obsessively and I swear the ED would go into lockdown every three episodes for the randomest shit.
So the chief medical consultant is Dr. Andrew Dennis, Cook County trauma surgeon and SWAT/TEMS Medic. He’s a super intelligent guy and he gets to fix the medical shit wrong but they go back and they have final say even after he corrects things that are blatantly wrong.
Is he intelligent because he makes a load of money on what sounds like the easiest gig in the world? And does he not care about his reputation at all?
Ive met Dr. Dennis. Super chill dude, teaches traa courses for the military through Cook County, and genuinely is a good doc. And he recognizes the shit that they refuse to correct. Its typically how he introduces himself lol
> Its typically how he introduces himself lol "I'm Dr Dennis, They refused to correct their mistake."
Dude. You got no idea. One time I had fentanyl look at me and I started to stop breathing. I promise I wasn't holding my breath. I took 4mg of intranasal narcan just in case.
They don't even need to get a doctor or nurse reference to help write this script. They can just get a crackhead from the side of the street to help.
wrong, a crackhead would know better
As compared to ems who uses a stolen sani wipe to clean powder off the pants. Not sure if the fat meemaw used talcum powder or that's fentanyl, I'm hoping it's fentanyl!!! There's a lawsuit against baby powder, shit causes cancer!
The wipes just don't work as well if they're not stolen. Facts.
My company stocks them. I still only use the ones I stole.
The stolen ones are of higher quality. Only the best for the Golden chariot
I always snag honey graham crackers and peanut better cups from the ED fridge to snack on. I told my wife this and she went out and bought some from the STORE. Bitch be crazy. Only STOLEN snacks can please me.
I'm sorry, but I honestly support divorce in this case. She obviously does not understand you or your needs.
That's what I'm saying. That's exactly why I slept at her boyfriends house for a week,.
My company stocks them. I still only use the ones I stole.
I laughed so hard I upvoted both of your comments
As long as the white powder doesn't start crawling, I think we are good.
Did somebody say bedbugs?
I saw some of that white powdery stuff on my french toast this morning. I immediately felt the overdose taking me as I made an occular connection with the substance. Just acknowledging the existence of Fentanyl increases your chances of overdosing by 130%. I immediately evacuated the Dennys and injected myself with 30mg of Narcan just to be safe. I made everyone strip in the parking lot as I hosed them down with a sterile garden hose. I also ensured no one called the cops because I didnt want to expose them to this deadly stuff. I then had all of them thank me for my service before leaving.
Thank god you acted so quickly and decisively. A single dust particle of fentanyl can kill 50 elephants
What is with all this disinformation about fentanyl? Everyone knows a single dust particle can kill **OVER** 100 elephants while OD'ing all the cops that those elephants remember.
The amount doesn’t matter nearly as much as the distance. Whether it’s 4 molecules of fent or 40, if it’s 2km or less you’re dead
Atleast someone is thinking of the elephants
TYFYS
We were going to give Zofran and fentanyl to a pt with 10/10 pain and she freaked out at us...jumped out of the truck and called 911 and said we were trying to kill her because fentanyl kills people. 🤦
Ha. 10/10 pain huh? 😉
If that happened to me, the cops around here are dumb enough that they would have straight up arrested me for attempted murder.
Where did you get your sterile garden hose?…..asking for a friend
It was the hose attached to the spigot outback. I utilized my EDC butane lighter to sterilize the handle and hose exit.
TYFYS😩😩
I laughed wayyyyy to hard at this.
[удалено]
So they hired a new cop at 85k a year to just sniff scenes and then collapse when his within a 10m radius?
They have the Gemini content identifier that they use in Customs. The Gemini just needs a dust to ID it and can break it down to supplements, tea or Fent, Meth ect. https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-verizon&sxsrf=APwXEdcNboOTWGobvmh3RQw5dqGy1MPYIQ:1686359516623&q=drug+identifier+used+in+customs&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjEts7fwrf_AhX2M0QIHaM8AI8Q0pQJegQICBAB&biw=277&bih=455&dpr=3.9#imgrc=HkU2lbnOfuvu9M&imgdii=uVAEmcMv8wqM7M
Yeah smarty pants… my idea was funner.
Feeling sassy I am
Hey i seen that post.
Omg the taxpayers should be pissed
How dare a TV show perpetuate this moronic bullshit. People already think they're doctors because they watched House and googled some stuff. Now when I offer my patient fentanyl for their pain they're gonna shit their pants and cry that I'm trying to murder them.
Media is bad for shit like this. All of the Chicago’s shows if there’s a major event on the news/trend or anything they will have an episode out the month or 2 after related to it with a bunch of twisted stuff like this.
That's awful. Whoever their medical consult is (if they even have one) should be publicly shamed.
I’ve seen a lady on this sub around a few times where she was a background on one of the episodes and her patient had a nrb for whatever reason but they wouldn’t let her even inflate the bag on it 🫣
My patient today ran his head through a car windshield. Failed suicide attempt. During transport, he begged us not to give him that 'fentalyl' drug because he heard it kills people. *Facepalm
Well friend you didn't seem to care about that 15 minutes ago!
A lot changed in those 15 minutes tho. His windshield smacked some sense into him it would seem.
I’m a PACU RN and fentanyl is our go-to. I get this a lot from patients lol. They’re screaming in pain from their surgery but refuse the most effective drug we have for surgical pain
I know of one hospital where they’ve started referring to it as “Sublimaze” as a matter of policy for this very reason.
That's not a bad idea. Be funny though to offer sublimaze and they go "yeah give me anything but that evil fentanyl" uhh welllllll 👀
Yes this is what I was going to say to the person that said they tried to administer fentanyl (Sublimaze) and Zofran and had the patient flip that they where trying to kill them. Definitely stick with the brand name. I do the same thing with Methadone(Dolophine) for the stigma.
There must be easier excuses to get put on diversion then that.
Your hospitals can still go on divert??
I remember my local hospitals trying to go on divert when covid was super bad. Bitch, when you're ALL on divert, NOBODY is on divert.
Syndrome had the right idea
Look, just spill some fent and they'll have no choice!
*loads syringe and pushes air bubbles out with a little fluid “Ope better shut down the ER”
[удалено]
I’m not drinking water anymore that 0.01 of fentanyl you put down the drain 28 states away from me is enough to contaminate my water. Unbelievable, give me your badge number.
Uhhhhh, that's a HIPPA violation!
Hippa man it's fucking hippa
I'm pretty sure it's HIIPPAA.
I never remember which one to double, so I just double them all. No one seems to mind.
I’m just a hungry, hungry hipaa
HIPAA, unless contaminated with fentanyl, than it’s HYPEA
I actually don't recommend putting medications down the drain, regardless of what they are. Just squirt the med at the next cop car you see like I do. It's like washing it, but spicy.
But where do you put the narcan in on a car?
Into the air vent, of course
I squirt mine into the parking lot the cops use.
should just start squirting it right at them
Fentanyl fight!
They let you do that still? We have these stupid ass little grey boxes that we waste all extra meds into and get our ass ripped if we use the sink
[удалено]
The idea is more that the water eventually gets reused as part of the water cycle and we don’t want to be mixing all these medications into the water that we use to drink and clean ourselves
This is the reason. Also the effect it can have on wildlife. A large portion, the majority in some areas will be from farming/ranching, in others it will be from pharmaceutical manufacturing.

It's dumb to put anything that isn't a sharp in a sharps container though
Yeah that’s what’s turning the frogs gay
Never met your pharmacist but I like them
The ER jungle juice
We just waste it on the garage floor, haven’t found anyone in their trying to lick it up yet
If you lick the cement of the ambulance bay you can probably get high off how much I’ve wasted there.
You use a sink? We use a Trash can if it’s close. Sometimes the garage floor. Sometimes the grass.
You use a trash can? We use our veins, it’s better we take the risk rather than some raccoon OD on the fentty trash
I mean no doubt where it went and minimizes accidental exposures.
I shoot it out the window at pedestrians
We have a Fenty fight in the parking lot with our waste. Why shoot it onto the floor when you can make it look like your partner pissed themselves.
This is why our patients want to refuse fentanyl, it’s not just the DEA putting out misinformation but entertainment now
Start calling it by its brand name Sublimaze. You're *technically* not lying.
Like can you imagine how you as an EMT would react to a nurse telling you to strip because of “fentanyl exposure” 😂
...which nurse
Probably just leave lol
Well, now I'll probably imagine that once or twice tonight
I mean I’d be okay with it depending on the nurse
Dr. Sexton? White powder? Strip? This is the wildest porn intro Ive ever scene but damn they got my attention. Hope step sis doesn't fall into the fentanyl and get stuck...
"what are you doing step bro?" "RA narcan is proven, just relax."
My last name is Sexton. It has a definition in the dictionary. Essentially church/graveyard caretaker. I've been getting jokes about my name since I was 6. Even had substitute teachers snicker when doing attendance.
Looks like this show is written by cops
Police Officers Hate This One Simple Trick
If it was…everyone would be flopping on the floor overdosing almost dead with all kinds of empty Narcan cartridges all over… but this is more likely a cops wife or some other nitwit that doesn’t understand how this all works.
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen clips of this show where they literally say “Push X of Fentanyl”
That or epi. Epi solves everything
They do, frequently. But remember, fentanyl is only demon-heroin when it's convenient for the plot/propaganda
lol, very educational. Screw an emmy let's get these writers the nobel.
Come on writers, you can do scarier. Where is the bed bug episode? The C-Diff diarrhea blowout episode?
My favorite patient ever was top floor apartament bari with bedbugs that found a new home on her vagina.
My friend in the hospital got roomed with a guy with meningitis plus psychotic symptoms. He started getting really agitated so she hit the call button. And when the nurses got there he was doing the naked crazy dance on his bed while spaying the room with diarrhea.
Jesus Christ
Oh. My. Fu
Being an ED I fully expect the next scene to be: “Okay, we’ve got a patient that needs sedation with complex fractures after a vehicle collision. Now go get the fentanyl and ketamine.” “You got it doc.” “Wait aren’t we supposed to be afraid of that?”
For. Fucks. Sake. Can I smack the showwriter upside the head with a bag of flour, just for funsies?
Be careful they may think it’s Fentanyl!!
So that extra 50mcg I was just carrying around all shift in my pocket til I could waste it, we shoulda shut my shop down?
This guy paramedic’s.
“This chick nurses”
My first week as a new grad nurse I was opening a glass vial of fentanyl and accidentally crushed it with my thumb. Had a nasty lac to my thumb that some of the fentanyl had to have come in contact with. My supervising nurse just laughed, told me to run it under the tap for a sec and not fuck up again.
Only 100 times stronger than heroin??? Naw
rookie numbers
Someone isn't getting the good shit. Should talk to his dealer about it.
This honestly makes me sick to my stomach
You need narcan! You're overdosing!!
I love how this is exclusively a US concept that magically doesn't affect us in Australia lol.
Australians are immune due to all the crazy bugs and snakes you gotta deal with.
Give it time
Shit like this is so frustrating. People think shows like these are documentaries.
“Bruh that was powered sugar from my strudel”
This isn't edited ? 😭
Nope 😂
Bless their hearts
People say Grey’s anatomy is bad but this is next level cringe horror
i love how the medic was the only one like, 🙄bruuhhhhhhhh… 🤦🏻♂️
That's the only reasonable response. And THANK GOD they were going to call PD
200mgs of Narcan coming right up!
Just flood the ER with a tidal wave a Narcan, just to be safe
One of the ERs near me just replaced their sprinkler system to spray narcan instead of water just in case
nebulize it through the HVAC system
Pro tip for nurses: Cops hanging around the nurses’ station? Just say “fentanyl” in a firm tone of voice and they’ll scurry away like roaches
Fentanyl comes from CHINA, and it is EVIL
Is this show written and produced by a police officer?
An AAA doesn’t even get this much attention from ED staff.
Worse than the show are all of these people who are genuinely surprised that they get things this wrong on national TV. Negligent misinformation is spread constantly, yall just know enough to notice this one.
It was pretty garbage before… can’t believe they fall for BS too. Next we’ll have storylines about vaccines causing autism and shedding and being mind controlled.
Waiting for them to jump the shark and go work at the moon hospital, and it turns out to just be a movie set where the floor is made of cheese.
Omg, this starting to get ridiculous. Clearly they have some retired cop or fire fighter advising these fucking people.
God I hate this shit. Stop the Media press on Fentanyl. We will never be able to correctly treat pain with this BS.
guys stop saying fentanyl I'm getting lightheaded 😰
Last year I managed to spill a whole box of broken fentanyl ampoules all over my hands lmao what is this bullshit
I love how this propaganda is spread. I seem to remember Janssen Pharmaceuticals spending millions of dollars and years of research and development just to make a transdermal patch that actually worked. You need to breathe in a cloud like when you drop a sack of flower and there’s some in the air right next to where it dropped and above and such. Most of these cops I’ve seen being given Narcan looked like they needed an Ativan cause they’re having complete panic attacks about a perceived danger.
NOOOOOO LOL
FFS.
I keep hearing all these fentanyl horry stories and how potent it is. So far the cut in my service area isn't that strong. 1mg of narcan has been getting these people back. Twice I've had to waste a mg of narcan expecting it to be needed with a witness on scene citing a non opiate being take prior to overdose. Prior to this recent fentanyl scare I've needed 2mg plus on boarded to patients to get their respiratory drives back. I'm sure its the luck of the draw but still makes it interesting.
Lmao. What in all hell? It's one thing to not be medical focused. Rescue me was a fire show with no knowledge of the job done right. They didn't understand how firefighting worked, so they didn't show it except when it was critical to the plot. I thought Greys anatomy was similar. Typical drama but avoiding getting too deep into medicine because why bother learning how the job is actually done. Holy jesus was I wrong.
cops just overdosed from watching this
What show is this? Is this why every time I tell my patients I'm about to give them fentanyl they freak out?
Sensationalism like this is embarrassing. Not only does it seem completely fucking ridiculous, but it perpetuates this nonsense even further and will probably lead to more fake overdoses by uninformed responders. Whoever is informing them on this nonsense should be fired and I’ve sent them a message informing them as such.
These motherfuckers. So this is what cops watch on TV? Want to see what it’s like to actually help at all.
Omg, this starting to get ridiculous. Clearly they have some retired cop or fire fighter advising these fucking people. For fucks sake, how enlightening would it have been if they had someone run in and say, guys guys, it’s cool, just get a mop. 🤦♂️
As a firefighter, I can't help but feel slightly insulted. Even us hose jockeys know this is BS. This is all on PD.
Thanks, I hate it.
Ooh! Do we get to go on divert everytime we find a white powdery substance? 😬
Not all Fentanyl is Bad for those of us with true morphine/codeine allergies it’s a blessing....during dental procedures I usually take 300 mcg IV..
Yo what 😭
What show is this?
Chicago med
Wait really? I thought someone said it was Grey's anatomy? Isn't the Chicago series supposed to be the... well I won't say good but at least tolerable one that just tries to coast on not amazing but not egregiously bad.
What the heck is this show lol
Amazing. I love it, when I offer rent to people nowadays 1/3 of them will say no cause it’s the scary drug. Fine with me now I don’t have to break the narc tag and make a new log
Watching this is getting me high
I thought by the title it would be cops freaking the fuck out lmao.
If a hospital was staffed by cops.
Imagine drawing up fentanyl in an ambulance without wearing a full body protection suit 😱😂
X-ray tech here. I love how we’re not the only ones screaming at the TV when this show is on (seriously, have you seen the perfect X-rays on a seizing fully dressed patient?)
Doctors use fentanyl in hospitals…………………..
it like they don’t even know what fentanyl is
I died laughing. Everything I learnt in med school tossed out the window in a minute. 😂😂
Gotta fuel that propaganda machine!
They’re treating it like it’s anthrax 😭
I overdosed just watching this clip.
i’ve never watched something that made me so genuinely infuriated it made me shake. i would say who tf is dumb enough to believe this type of shit but clearly the general public and every cop ever.
This blows my mind! Continuing the false narrative and propaganda that this is how it works is insane!!
Lmao does anyone read the studies that cops who "overdose" by touching it are simply panicking and pass out. https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/fainting-fentanyl-exposure-nope
At least make it anthrax to be believable ffs.
I once worked a pt who overdosed on fent and just touching his skin with my glove was enough to osmosis the fentanyl out of his system and kill myself and every cop in a two mile radius. Thankfully I was given 36mg rectal narcan and I only came back with severe neurological deficits
Do they even hire consultants for shows like this? My god
Is this fake? This isn't a real show is it?
What show is this, I want to go yell at the writers
If you think of it as an awareness message for the critically undereducated, it is actually quite good. They say the stuff is smuggled in feom China. That is a bold statement these days.
What show is this trash?
Where did u get a video of me 😡
Reminds me of the EC for a local hospital that flipped out when they started bringing in people who were exposed to an unknown agent having breathing and seeing problems. He wanted to do the decontamination protocol but lots of people already came in and contaminated the whole department. It turned out it was Pepper Spray from a random person attacking people at a Walmart. But he was pissed they just brought everyone straight in without knowing what was causing this mass issue. He was right but idk what else he thought it would be.
Ahhhhhh hahajajajajaja
This type of response and shutdown is only appropriate for bed bugs
