That's some third world bubblegum right there.They have no ambulance available for an "unconscious person receiving CPR". That's not going to end well.

Long past time to let natural selection do it's thing…Replace Narcan with sodium cyanide and alleviate some of the EMT frequent flyers.
To do what? Portland should just require Uber to stock narcan!So... wait. What. Ya mean to tell me American Medical Response isn't providing enough ambulance services after being fined by Multnomah County for not meeting the quotas/requirements laid out?
Multnomah County says it will fine ambulance provider AMR for slow response times
Ambulances are arriving late to critical emergencies around 30% of the time, the county says. AMR says the problem is a nationwide shortage of paramedics.www.opb.org
Hell no! They made their bed, let them lie in it for good if necessary. By now everyone knows the risks of using fentanyl. Let those in the midst of an overdose deal with the consequences and serve as an example to others that there is very real likelihood that it will happen to them too. It will eventually thin the herd rather than just returning them to the streets to suck up more resources. I have two teenagers who will be out on their own sooner than I care to admit. In my fantasy land it would be nice if this mess was at least a little cleaned up before that time comes.To do what? Portland should just require Uber to stock narcan!
We were all telling them what would happen. But remember when they said open carry would lead to the wild west and we laughed at them? They must have thought it was the same thing. I hope they've learned this time that we're smarter.I guess the powers to be or those who voted for hard drugs just didn't realize what the consequences are.
They don't make them like they used to.My friend drove himself to the hospital during his heart attack. At least they bumped him to the front when he was blue and said it felt like someone parked a car on his chest. He is very frugal and didn't want to pay for an ambulance.
He also lied to the surgeons at the hospital that replaced both his hips when he told them he had a caregiver at home, waiting.
Actually, he just dragged himself around on the floor for three weeks alone. He set up a makeshift 2x4 brace for the shower and toilet. Gawd I tell you I have some stubborn friends.

Also, the first one, they took me straight to the head of the line. I don't know if I was blue, but I was definitely frightened and in a lot of pain. I coded a few minutes later in triage, thus affirming their decision.LOL, I drove myself to the hospital for my first heart attack and my cardiologist for my second one.
They should give them a HUGH FINE!!! That will make the problem better.So... wait. What. Ya mean to tell me American Medical Response isn't providing enough ambulance services after being fined by Multnomah County for not meeting the quotas/requirements laid out?

This... is NOT possible!!Too many gangbangers were dying from gunshot wounds
Or Portland should stop supplying narcan to anyone over 18...To do what? Portland should just require Uber to stock narcan!
Or get out now. It's a choice to live in that crap hole. It's not getting any better up there. I couldn't handle living in Stayton so I made the choice to leaveI think people are going to have to organize their neighborhoods for transportation to a medical facility. Plus keep track of the hospitals that will serve the public.
It's getting to the point neighbors must be neighbors again.
Just my opinion but I don't think there is anyplace safe to run to. Maybe folks should up grade their first aid training to include heart attacks or wounds from knives or firearms.Or get out now.

I think anywhere that isn't a big city is better. Being self reliant is definitely your best option and will only improve your odds. The big city's will be the first to fall in shtf situation. Some would say Portland has already fallen.....Just my opinion but I don't think there is anyplace safe to run to.

Probably set up a neighborhood clinic to stabilize people as this gets worse
Some would say the country has fallen. Open borders allowing millions in will destroy our Healthcare since covid already ruined the medical system. People won't understand it until it's too late but that's who we are, easier to watch football than pay attention.I think anywhere that isn't a big city is better.
