Were you ever administered Narcan, and were you pissed when at whoever gave you the Narcan? The times when I've administered it I've gotten yelled at for ruining people's highs when they came back. One guy even threw a punch at me in the back of the ambulance.

Glad you're still around.

If you want them to be happier, preoxygenate before administering the Narcan. They aren't pissed because you "ruined their high". They're pissed because they're hypoxic (and therefore confused, disoriented, etc), and surrounded by people in uniforms, and don't know how they got there.

Bag them up before you push the Narcan and you will have much happier patients.
