In April a distraught CANB Shelter client was screaming and crying in front of the agency “Somethings wrong with Marty!” While the Shelter Manager, Joe Carter, went out to see what the matter was, he was greeted by our Programs Manager Keetra Welling. Keetra and Joe went to the next-door laundromat to find Marty slouched in his seat of his car, unresponsive. Keetra ran back to the agency, threw her belongings on the floor and yelled Narcan, which she got from her office and then bolted out the door back to Marty.
Keetra administered the Narcan to Marty and then she and Joe were able to get him out of his vehicle. We relayed information to 911 and they began to give us instructions. Marty was breathing slightly so we did not practice CPR but tried to revive him by sitting him up and following instructions from 911 until the fire department, medics and police department showed up. Marty survived, but the hospital said if the had waited a couple more minutes he could have died.
