Nightwatch: Grateful Overdose Patient Swears He’s Learned His Lesson | A&E

1. Watch the rest of Nightwatch, plus hundreds of commercial free crime series and specials on A&E Crime Central: http://www.aetv.com/crime-central-youtube

2. I only wish all the people I lost quit after their first overdose. People that could have been successful, I myself could have been successful as a musician. I was injured at work and given opiates, it creeps up on you and it eats You Alive. I was doing heroin within a year and spent over fifty Grand plus priceless musical instruments and many people that i loved and miss dearly. When u are in it, its biologically impossible to be reasoned with or talked out of what your whole being is screaming for. It's not an excuse or justification but it is a nightmare. That's all I know.

3. This guy's nearly dead on the floor, and he's worried about the hospital bill. I find that incredibly depressing

4. You'll never catch me sticking a needle in myself. No way. Then again, I'm sure these people thought the same at one time in their life. Hope he gets better soon

5. how amazing!!! another life saved at the last moment.
   hopefully he stays clean and sober after this!
   I'll be celebrating my 7 years next February 2022!
   👏👏👏👏👏
   everyone out there struggling, remember you're never alone. reach out

6. Sadly they never learn their lesson.

7. Saved his life, bankrupted him.

8. Thought Biden had lost another voter

9. Drugs are no joke I overdosed on pain pills and fent on my 21st bday 10 doses of narcan to bring me back without that my girlfriend and the paramedics I woulda died if I would have went a few more minutes w/out treatment

10. “Young cat”?

11. Instant dope sick.

12. Narcan

13. 9/15/21 Almost a month for me clean off heroin and fentanyl and all the other useless drugs God knows had drug me down

14. Evidently new to the 'life', he sprung back pretty shiny. The fact that he was grateful, for the paramedics saving his life, was a good sign.

15. I bet he's already back on the dope. I OD'd at a friend's house and when I came to, I left his place and went down the street to do more dope.

    Luckily, I'm clean now.

16. I don't feel bad for junkies

17. He said doctors don't wanna give out pain pills lol. Druggy brain

18. Sad thing is he'll be OD'ing again and the cycle will just keep going until he kills himself

19. If they think they won’t ever see him in this situation again… they are naive af.

20. @2:01 you look like a smerf 😭😭 roast him while he’s down

21. ….SURE …IT'S THE DOCTORS FAULT!

22. i pray this gentleman finds sobriety and positive habits.

23. Scared straight? Let's hope so.

24. Hope he gets into rehab or a program of recovery 🙏 one day at time

25. Been clean for 3 years from heroin and meth… I now own my own construction company building pools. Anything is possible. But nobody said it was easy

26. The public finally understands opiods. Public education is far more important the busting dealers or any of that. Junkies only know cpr so well because we use it a lot. Opiod over dose is about as deadly as russian rulette. Very rarely does anyone survive 6 over doses unless someone is there to breath for you for an hour every time. Cpr is very arobic. After a ffew mi utes it feels like your running a marathon at high pace breath for two people. Pushing air in her lungs or she turns blueagain and she is not inhaling.

27. This dude went back to the dope as soon as he got out of the hospital

28. Thank You Jesus! God Bless all who serve in the medical community.

29. I'd bet my left nut this isn't gonna be his last time

30. 2:27 "most pateints are mad when they wake up but this man was the opposite" did he forget dude was gonna knock em out when he first woke and had to be held back?

31. 👍💖👍

32. I'm only 3 days clean and I'm losing my mind

33. Why have the music in the background?

34. Caring medics!! Love them. I hope this kids is living a drug free happy life now.

35. An addict's promise to stop using?……Ain't worth nothing. Addicts lie about everything. When they ain't lying they be stealing. Can't trust anything they say!

36. Getting bill better than spending time in jail ? What ??? If he did not commit crime why he will go to jail poor man don’t have money for this.

37. The reason the heroin/Fentanyl epidemic is so bad is cause doctors stopped providing opiates after giving them out like candy and expecting people to just not need them anymore and harder more concentrated substances hit the market for cheaper and the people addicted to the pills end up going to those drugs, it’s sad Fr, and another Note if it’s on intervention or Vice has ever made a documentary ab it you prob shouldn’t be using it fr

38. people dont appreciate paramedics enough.

39. Bill is expensive I fell asleep on a award ceremony in high times and when I woke up surrounded by emt forced me to go to hospital . Got there and doctor 👨‍⚕️ treated it like a dui test made walk, count , and flashlight 🔦. Then discharged me . That cost over $600 emt ride over $1,500

40. High as a kite. He won't be smiling so much in 3-6 hours

41. Most never learn

42. In one breath he says he started it because it was like the pills, and then blames the heroin on doctor's not handing out enough opiates. It's hard to see that it's nobody else fault but their own.

43. " You looked like a SMURF" –
