Who gets high?

I LOVE "Pulp Fiction," as a film, it's GREAT entertainment! But it's piss-poor education for a narcotic overdose. It's probably done more harm to public perception regarding treating an overdose of a mu-agonist...Shooting shit into the heart that is essentially nor-epinephrine is only going to make things worse. The clinical approach to treating an overdose on a mu-agonsist (traditional opiate narcotic) would be a mu-ANTAGONIST! Clinically speaking, you would administer an IV shot of naloxone to the point of reversing respiratory arrest. If you go too far and induce acute withdrawal symptoms, you might reverse treatment slightly so that you can bring a patient down without bringing on WD's so severely. "Pulp Fiction" was full of SHIT on this particular point!
