There's a new treatment for combating fentanyl overdose many first responders are using called ZIMHI, which is administered like an epipen through the thigh and provides a stronger dose of naloxone into the body.
Mother Callie Crow wished the responding officer used this technique when her 27-year-old son Drew overdosed on fentanyl in 2020.
Crow says the responding officer didn't administer naloxone and after 36 hours in the ICU, Drew passed away. But she wanted to give Drew's life purpose so she started the non-profit Drew's 27-Chains to educate first responders on the best ways to help some experiencing a fentanyl overdose.A paramedic herself, Crow is teaching departments on ZIMHI.
