911 took hours to respond is this normal
i’ve overdosed before but always had someone there to narcan me.
i was alone last night on a phone call and fell out in the middle of a sentence after doing a shot. i ended up being fine, but my bf called 911 bcuz he was convinced i had overdosed. i came to with the police already inside my apartment.
my bf told me from the time he called to the time they actually checked on me was almost two hours. shouldn’t it have been way sooner than this? if i actually was fatally overdosing, i would have died in that amount of time. or is that a normal length of time to respond to a suspected overdose? i felt comfortable using alone bcuz i always thought paramedics arrived in like, 5-10 minutes tops. i live in one of the biggest cities in the US too.
any responses appreciated sorry if this question is dumb.
