Liar...liar...how’d ya like some withdrawals?

Today's fun call was for this patient who was pulled over by the local PD for reports of driving under the influence. Officer sees that the patient is not all there, and the patient is a Type II diabetic, so he calls for medical assessment. We get there, the patient's sugar is fine, although the FD medic gave the patient a tube of Glucose to eat. No harm, no foul. Patient's pupils are pinpoint, and the patient denies taking any narcotics, although uses morphine for chronic pain but has been out since the end of the year. Hrm...OK. Agrees to go to the ED, and on the trip up, is doing the 'heroin nod and snort', as well as not even finishing an answer when asked a question. So, it's Narcan time. Of course after some vitamin 'N' the patient wakes up, starts wiggling around uncomfortably, and complains of feeling REALLY sick. Nothing like a case of instant withdrawals.

Still denied taking anything even after telling the nurse it felt like bugs were crawling all over...

*sigh*
