American Narcan: Naloxone & Heroin-Fentanyl associated mortality - Paperback

by William Ray Morrone (Author)

American Narcan is a passionate call to arms against a death storm sweeping across the Americas; touching every family, every class, every city and every news department like in an old testament biblical plague. Everybody knows somebody that has died from an overdose. We do not know the real number of heroin and opioid deaths in America. Hospitals are paralyzed. Medical schools are out of touch. Our lawmakers are passing laws that are five years too late about prescription opioids. Heroin and Fentanyl are changing the landscape forever. When local police save more lives than doctors we should be ashamed. 1,000,000 providers practice in America but less than 1 % understand naloxone is the answer to heroin. Doctors are ill equipped and inaccurately trained. Menacing stigma abounds. This is the first readable, brisk and brilliant book in America on Naloxone as treatment for everybody in America. Parents, sons, daughters, educators and physicians have a map to survive this brutal journey out of hell. Readers must rethink who a first responders is today. Naloxone must be in every home in America. The importance of a thing is obvious - Res Ipsa Locqitur. Deputy Chief Medical Examiner, addiction educator, toxicologist, TV guest, whistle blower and rogue Dr. William Morrone has simply compiled and translated vital data that was previously fragmented. American Narcan is written without a committee from ground zero. American Narcan is about naloxone. Naloxone stops death. Naloxone stops heroin. American Narcan is written for Mothers, medical students and public health advocates. American Narcan is the first naloxone book in America and the only book you need.
