  1. Matt brown has the CTE vibe going on, 41 and still fighting.
  2. https://www.instagram.com/tv/CbdjNpVjQs6/?utm_medium=copy_link Must really have experienced some shit when a rpg impact doesn’t even make you jump
  3. Holy Shit
  4. When I first got into this I worked in an ER I’ve seen alcoholics walking around with a BAC of 2.0 and over that’s their normal every day baseline. Their med issues start when they can’t maintain and their BAC drops off threat baseline I’ve seen more than 1 hospital that had liquor on hand to treat DT and alcohol withdrawals, funny enough without that the treatment involves Benzos
  5. Always knew it was pretty rough stuff but until I had a buddy who’d been on it for ten years try to cold turkey and ended up with seizures and almost died, I really researched it’s Benzos and alcohol, the two vices you cannot just quit and power through, or maybe you can but the threat of death is very much there. And yea Benzos are pretty hard to Od on you take too much you fall asleep and the respiratory depression just isn’t there unless you go the poly pharmacy route
  6. Also there is something similar to Narcan for Benzodiazepines(Xanax, Valium, Ativan etc) called Romazicon which is not used anywhere near as often as NarCan and I’ve never seen it used in the field, Benzos in any sane amount are not remotely on the level of respiratory depressants as Opiods. Also, you don’t want to send someone who is chemically addicted to Benzos into immediate withdrawals, can cause seizures and death.
  7. He is right, The main and VERY significant concern of an opiod overdose is respiratory arrest as all opioids are respiratory depressants varying in strength, you have about 90 seconds after the opioid has slowed your breathing to the point that it ceases to the point your heart does some pretty bad stuff, mostly irreversible. That is all Narcan is really for they’re only try by to reverse the respiratory depression/arrest so the person starts breathing again which is the only truly immediate emergency. When respiratory arrest turns into cardiac arrest it’s pretty much game over unless there is help close by and even then it can be a coin flip Narcan really does save lives the only issue is the very short half life, if they don’t go to the hospital after it wears off, the opioid kicks back in and you can go right back to where you started. Not a Med professional just a 20 year fireman, lots of experience with this
  8. Not sure if I’ve ever seen the sig severe tornado risk that high in Houston
  9. And yea it removes all the euphoric effects people who were very very high just moments before they tend to be highly confused/pissed off
  10. Narcan binds to the opioid receptors in the brain better than the actual opioid itself removing all opiod effects, the trick is you can’t give an addict the full dose or they’ll pretty much go into immediate withdrawals, they’ve been feathering it for years giving an apneic OD patient just enough to make them start breathing again but not wake up vomiting/fighting other withdrawal effects. It has a very short half life but pretty much erases all of the effects of opiod ingestion for that time.
  11. This guy is apparently big Rivals with Kadyrov.
  12. https://www.instagram.com/p/CbL7rbLMmR7/?utm_medium=copy_link Mail order serial killer.
  13. https://www.instagram.com/tv/CbOFgUnjfaK/?utm_medium=copy_link Ouch
  14. Holy shit that is brutal and indicative or some serious hurt being laid down.
  15. Pretty sure it was responsible in the end for significantly more than that, with all the super exotic cancers, thyroid disease and birth defects.
  16. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CanF0vjjeRE/?utm_medium=copy_link This is real FAFO
  17. It’s apparently the biggest in Europe
  18. News is now all over it, Ukraine saying increasing radiation levels, I have no idea the actual danger or how that shit works at all, but it sounds kinda bad.
  19. https://www.instagram.com/p/CaqWUvYJ--k/?utm_medium=copy_link Whoa VDV ambushed.
  20. Now Ukraine is saying if that reactor fails it’ll be 10 times worse than Chernobyl
  21. All you nuke guys how badly does fire affect those reactors?
  22. https://www.instagram.com/tv/CaqVfFNJ1SA/?utm_medium=copy_link Holy shit these things should be outdated they are area weapons and not precise at all, not sure the justification using them towards a city with civilians in it, artillery is way more precise
  23. Misquoted the last post, there is a big fire at the nuke plant in Energodan
  24. There’s supposedly a massive fire now at that plant
