DRUG ABUSE

A view from the front lines

With increased heroin use comes increase in overdoses
By Becky Vosters
beckyv@wdtimes.com
Heroin use has increased exponen-
tially in recent years and, as a result, the
number of overdoses has also increased.
Paramedics irst responders find them-
selves attending to these individuals
more and more frequently.
Tanya Reynen, a firefighter/paramed-
ic at the Watertown Fire Department,
has noticed the frequency of heroin re-
lated calls increasing in the last three
years.
In a two-year period extending from
July 2013 to June 2015, the Watertown
Fire Department responded to 4,800
total calls. Of those calls, 3,300 were
EMS calls, 81 were overdose calls, 46
were situations that called for Narcan
administration and 11 cases were obvi-
ous death caused by possible heroin or
other drug use.
Heroin overdoses involve a suppres-
sion of breathing that affects the amount
of oxygen that reaches the brain, a con-
dition called hypoxia. Hypoxia can have
short- and long-term psychological and
neurological effects, including coma
and permanent brain damage.
Reynen said heroin related calls are
received regularly, not on every shift but
with increasing regularity. Heroin deliv-
eries in town can also affect the number
of calls.
We have times where we can tell
when a new delivery has been made and
people are getting more of it, Reynen
said. It goes in spurts. There will be a
couple and then it will be awhile before
we go on another one.
Heroin does not discriminate. It does
not see socioeconomic status. It does
not see race. It does not see age.
Sometimes I hear overdose and
when I see the person I think there is no
way this person has overdosed, but we
push the medications and we find evi-
dence of heroin use. Theres no typical
situation, its everybody.
Paramedics respond to calls most
commonly in public places.
We have areas where we know
there are drug houses and drug activ-
ity, but its everywhere, Reynen said.

Farmers market move

postponed until 2017
The Main Street Program Board
of Directors is postponing the re-
location of the Tuesday farmers
market to the North First Street
parking lot because of upcoming
construction on the Main Street
bridge. Since the bridge will be
under repair for six to eight weeks
and overnight parking will be re-
stricted in the parking lot, the
market will continue to be held
at Riverside Park in 2016 starting
May 3.
The Main Street Program vol-
unteered to take over administra-
tion of the farmers market earlier
this month as the result of staffing
changes at the Watertown Area
Chamber of Commerce making
it unfeasible for that organization
to manage the market. In order for
the Main Street Program to run

within the boundaries of the pro-
grams district, which is prompt-
ing the eventual relocation of the
farmers market from Riverside
Park to downtown Watertown.
Main Street Program Executive
Director Melissa Lampe said if
there are other civic organizations
that would like to see the market
to remain in Riverside Park indefi-
nitely, they are welcome to contact
the Main Street Program about
running the event.
If the Main Street Program con-
tinues to run the event, Lampe said
it had a plan to alleviate concerns
that may result from the move to
downtown.
The Main Street Program will
work with the city to designate

Event honors hospital employees

By Jake Batterman
jakeb@wdtimes.com
Watertown Regional Medical Cen-
ter (WRMC) held its annual all-asso-
ciate assembly Wednesday to thank
its employees for the dedication and
compassion they exhibited through-
out the year. Attendees donned
gowns and tuxedos for the Academy
Awards-themed event which featured
parodies of famous Oscar winning
films featuring hospital staff mem-
bers. The employees in the videos
re-enacted famous scenes from mov-
ies such as Star Wars, and Casa-
blanca with their own twist, poking
fun at the intricacies of their jobs and
the hospital. Several awards were
handed out to various members of
the hospital staff. Categories included
Welcome as an expected Guest, Best
Supporting Roles, Lifetime Achieve-
ment Award for Transformation, and
Leader and Team of the Year. There
were several winners in each catego-
ry which recognized both individu-
als and teams. Preceding the awards
ceremony, LifePoint Executive Vice
President and Chief Administrative
Officer John Bumpus spoke to the au-
dience about the importance of hard
work and sound values when achiev-
ing success.
Bumpus encouraged the audience
of employees to be mindful and listen
to everyones ideas, no matter how
different they may seem.

as long as the farm followed

The project met with oppo-

neighbors included safety of

could be compromised by ma-

and then the landowners didnt

Lampe said. This way, if a
customer is purchasing pump-
kins or a watermelon that they
cannot carry to their car, they
may leave those items with a
volunteer at the nearby Main
Street tent while they pull up
their vehicle for loading.
Lampe added that the pro-

room access as well.
Public restrooms are avail-
able in city hall after 8 a.m.,
Lampe said. A local business
adjacent to the North First

ly offered to allow farmers mar-
ket vendors to use its restrooms
on Tuesday mornings between
the time they arrive for setup
and city hall opening.
The Watertown Farmers
Market, formerly known as Fair
Day, is one of the longest run-
ning farmers markets in Wis-
consin. Lampe said the Main
Street program knows how
important the market is to city
residents and it will do every-
thing it can to make the even-
tual transition a smooth one.

Weve been to overdose calls
in churches and in businesses,
but mostly on the streets and in
vehicles.
Naloxone hydrochloride,
more commonly referred to as
Narcan, is an opiate antidote
utilized by paramedics on pa-
tients who have overdosed on
any opiate.
When an individual overdos-
es on an opioid their breathing
slows down or stops altogether.
Narcan blocks the effects of
opioids and reverses an over-
dose by knocking opioids out
of the opiate receptors in the
brain.
The fastest way to administer
Narcan is via syringe into the
vein of the individual. Howev-
er, a foam attachment is used to
atomize the drug and turn it into
a mist to be put up the nose. Po-
lice also have the ability to ad-
minister Narcan.
Any way you can get into
the body is good, but we usu-
ally start an IV and get it into
their veins. Its stronger and
more effective that way, Rey-
nen said.
Narcan works as quickly as
five minutes and overdosed
individuals can become re-
sponsive abruptly and can be
violent.
The key with Narcan is
youre taking away somebodys
high, Reynen said. Larger
doses take away all the effects
of heroin and people can come
out of it upset so what well do
is dose it so we dont take all
of the effects away so we can
keep them calm and help their
airway as they become a little
bit responsive.
Because there is a chance
these situations can get out of
hand, paramedics are not the
sole responders to unrespon-
sive patients. The engine crew
also responds so there are five
people on scene. This is also
helpful when it comes to as-
sisting with the patient because
they require more medical care.
If they come back violent
well talk to them and explain
to them they had an overdose
and were here to help them.
Well hold their hands and
try to keep them from hurting
themselves or us, Reynen said.
Reynen said its a judgment
call, but they are typically go-
ing to administer smaller doses.
When they work with people
whom they know get violent
they make sure to avoid larger
doses. Ultimately, they have to
be careful.
Sometimes theyll come
back and theyll know theyre
in trouble. They see cops and
they see firefighters and thats
where we have to talk to the pa-
tient and tell them its important
to get the help they need, Rey-
nen said. Through communi-
cation were always able to get
them to the hospital.
The amount of drugs in a
persons system can change
the amount of Narcan adminis-
tered. Over time, addicts must
take more heroin to achieve
the same high. Longtime ad-
dicts can have large amounts of
heroin in their system because
they long for that much sought
after high.
Reynen recalled a time when
an entire dose, 2 milligrams,
did not affect the patient and
knowing it was a narcotic over-
dose a second dose was given.
Normally a half of a dose is suf-
ficient.
The dose a patient receives
is normally based on their
size and the persons condi-
tion. There are some instances
where paramedics may know
a little background or can get
a hint by talking to bystanders,
but generally it all comes down
to judgment.
The effects of Narcan do not
last forever. An individual who
receives a dose of Narcan can
slip back into a sedative state.
Generally it starts to wear off
after 30 minutes and disappears
completely after 90 minutes.
Following a long debate,
Narcan is available over the
counter in some areas at stores
like Walgreens and CVS. This
was controversial because it is
believed making the drug avail-
able to anyone encourages the
use of heroin and other opioids
because users have access to a
drug that can revive them.
Reynen encourages families
with known users to have Nar-
can in their home.
Its an addiction. It was
the choices they made that got
them to this point but they cant
stop unless they truly are ready,
and if they havent hit rock bot-
tom they need Narcan, Reynen
said.
According to the National In-
stitute on Drug Abuse, chronic
use of heroin leads to a physi-
cal dependence or a state in
which the body has adapted to
the presence of the drug. With-
drawal symptoms can begin as
early as a few hours after taking
heroin.
Withdrawal symptoms can
include restlessness, muscle
and bone pain, insomnia, diar-
rhea and vomiting, cold flashes
with goose bumps and kicking
movements. Users also expe-
rience severe cravings for the
drug which usually leads to
continued abuse or relapse.
Users often know they have
an addiction and what they are
doing is wrong but are physi-
cally unable to stop.
They will have it in their
heart that they want to stop and
they dont want to do it again.
Theyll make a promise to
themselves and they wake up in
the morning with no intention
of using heroin again and by 3
in the afternoon theyre doing it
again, Reynen said reflecting
on a recent Stairway to Heroin
event she attended.
Without acquiring profes-
sional help it is difficult for us-
ers to stop. Oftentimes hitting
rock bottom is the motivation
they need.
Nothing we say to someone
who has overdosed is going to
change their mind. Its the ad-
diction speaking. We tell them
they overdosed and almost
died. We make them aware they
werent breathing and it hits
home, Im sure, but its not go-
ing to be enough, Reynen said.
While a large portion of
overdose calls do occur in pub-
lic places, it is not uncommon
for these situations to occur at
home.
Seeing the family panick-
ing or little kids on scene just
breaks your heart, Reynen
said. Thats the biggest thing
for a paramedic responding.
Reynen said as heroin be-
comes more prevalent some
of the recent calls have been
shocking to her.
When we first started get-
ting heroin calls it was only
here, but now we see it more
often in people I personally
wouldnt expect and its sur-
prising, Reynen said. When I
see young girls my age or I see
where they may have worked
and I wouldnt expect them to
use drugs, but they do.
Reynen said regardless of
what brought an individual to
their current situation, recovery
is not out of the question if they
are willing.
There are people who have
been users that have gone on
to do amazing things. Youll
see people that have experi-
ences with heroin overdose and
they used to be users and now
theyre out there educating the
public and working in rehab,
Reynen said. Their lives are
worth saving. They are good
people. They just got caught up
in the drug.
Just like heroin, recovery
does not discriminate.
