from CodeHeads · host CodeHeads

In Pulp Fiction’s famous scene, Uma Thurman’s Mia Wallace overdoses on heroin and gets a dramatic intracardiac adrenaline shot to revive her. I. n this episode, we separate movie myth from medical reality: why that heart-stab isn’t standard (or safe) for opioid ODs, what actually happens, and the correct prehospital/layperson steps. Real-world lifesaving facts behind the Hollywood jolt.#EMS #OD #Narcan #CPR #MedEd #Nursing #pulpfiction #CodeHeads
