Naloxone has saved thousands of lives. But can patients be safely discharged from the Emergency Department (ED) just an hour after they receive the medication that curtails drug overdoses?
According to the St. Paul's Early Discharge Rule developed in 2000, that's how long providers should observe patients after naloxone treatment, so long as their vital signs meet specific criteria and they are ambulatory.
But the rule was never externally validated or assessed in light of the changes that have occurred in recent years with opioid use disorder.

i thought this was the demonstration. you clearly think you are klingon, and you probably have a face that looks klingon, and i'll go on a limp here - you're overweight and watch a lot of porn. the resulting in lack of human contact, loneliness, and a lack of anything to actually do with your time, results in this. ten years from now, still alone, you look back at the thousands of hours you've made on posts like this, and realize you have made random strangers on the internet laugh at you. in a pointing finger kind of laughter.
accomplishment level complete smelly loser at life.

Offtopic, trolling and repeated on different stories = spam.

While it was off topic to welcome back an editor that'd been gone, that wasn't even remotely trolling.
