In 2011, a total of 263,979 EMS runs were made to an overdose victim making 1.7% of all emergency calls related to opioid overdose (Faul et al., 2015). On the EMS runs, Naloxone was either administered to patients intranasally, intramuscularly, or intravenously. All methods of administration result in the same hospitalization time and side effects.

The fear of gaining weight can be seen in the last sentence of the psalms which shows that it is a mental disorder and not a lifestyle choice as they…

It’s as if an elephant is sitting on his chest, crushing his lungs and making it nearly impossible to breathe. Everything around him has turned into a blur; he hardly notices his buddy shouting his name repeatedly.
