If they Narcan them twice, it counts as saving two lives that day. Even if the person dies later that day.

lol, it drives me crazy how "overdoses reversed" is considered a significant statistic for SISs, as if the streets aren't already flooded with Narcan.

I imagine it's only flooded with Narcan in the open drug markets like K&A
