Okie, not sharpshooting here, but delivering narcan in a GSW case just to relieve respiratory depression (which, from the vitals and pt's mental status suggest that intubation would be no problem) seems counter intuitive due to the fact that when this guy does come around, you've filled up his opiate receptors with NARCAN and now you've increased the mental and physical trauma this guy is going to get. Now, as a military medic I don't see the drug OD as much, but is this the typical treatment for such a patient in a pre-hospital setting?
