Stayed late to finish up a consult, biking home I came across a person lying face down beside the bike path. Wasn’t rousable, but had a pulse and was breathing. I called EMS and gave them a dose of IM naloxone/Narcan that I carry in my bike bag. 1/3

They woke up very confused, but I was able to convince them to wait for EMS. They are now safely en route to hospital. Narcan saves lives. Always carry a kit, especially if you commute by bike because we see people those driving in cars don’t. 2/3

As #cyclists we can be the eyes, ears and a safety net for the most vulnerable in our communities. You don’t need to be a doctor or nurse or EMT to give Narcan and save a life. Every life is worth saving. Get a Narcan kit for your commute bag, it is life saving. #harmreduction
