01:22
We now call this a health epidemic,
18
70146

我們現在稱之為健康流行病，
01:24
and we have replaced the name "addiction"
with "substance use disorder."
with "substance use disorder."
19

4572
且我們把「成癮」這個字
換成了「物質使用障礙症」。

21

3857
給大家一點概念，
01:35
in 2017, in my county of 95,000 people,
22
83292
6103
2017 年，我的郡
人口是九萬五千人，
01:41
we saw 1,831 overdoses
23

3857
我們發現了 1831 個
服藥過量的案例，

01:51

機構的工作都包括

01:55
to respond to that.

要對那些狀況做應變。

27
106290
1151
（咳嗽）
01:59
Excuse me.
28
107465
1150
對不起。
02:02
So, watching this epidemic
unfold for several years,
unfold for several years,
29
110239
5277
數年來，看著這種流行病漸漸出現，
02:07
I developed some insight.
30
115540
1667
我也發展出了一些洞見。
02:10
For this disaster, we need to redefine
our job as a first responder.
our job as a first responder.
31
118342
4725
對這種災難，我們需要重新定義
我們身為第一線應變人員的工作。
02:15
We need to be more than just the cavalry.
32
123682
2746
我們不能只當救兵。
02:18
We need to do more than just save a life.
33
126452
2839
我們要做的不只是拯救性命。
02:21
We need to find ways to rebuild that life.
34
129315
3770
我們得要找出方法來重塑那些生命。
02:25
And it's going to take
a lot of people to do that.
a lot of people to do that.
35
133505
2699
會需要很多人才能夠做到。
02:28
And that is exactly
what we are trying to do
what we are trying to do
36
136530
2483
那正是我們在西維吉尼亞州
亨廷頓市試圖去做的事。
02:31
in Huntington, West Virginia.
37
139037
2000
02:33
Now, let me give you some insight
as to what we do.
as to what we do.
38
141831
3676
讓我說明一下，我們做的是什麼事。
02:38
First, this is what happens
when somebody overdoses.
when somebody overdoses.
39
146845
4548
首先，當有人用藥過量時，
狀況會是這樣的。
狀況會是這樣的。
02:44
Imagine you are somebody who is suffering
from the brain disorder of addiction.
from the brain disorder of addiction.
40
152240
5286
想像你受到成癮的
腦部功能失調所苦。
腦部功能失調所苦。
02:50
You are fragile.
41
158542
1381
你很脆弱。
02:51
You're embarrassed, you're ashamed.
42
159947
2388
你很尷尬，你很羞恥。
02:56
And you overdose.
43
164003
1729
且你用藥過量。
02:58
Maybe a friend
or a family member calls 911.
or a family member calls 911.
44
166728
3341
也許你的朋友或家人打了求救電話。
03:02
And then all of a sudden,
45
170593
1913
接著，突然間，
03:04
you are awakened by five or six
total strangers in uniform.
total strangers in uniform.
46
172530
6481
你醒來就看到五六個
穿著制服的陌生人。
03:11
And they're rubbing your sternum,
47
179363
1634
他們在磨擦你的胸骨，
03:13
and they're saying, "Wake up, wake up!
48
181021
2048
他們說：「醒醒，醒醒！
03:15
You overdosed, you could've died."
49
183093
2400
你用藥過量了，
你本來可能喪命的。」
你本來可能喪命的。」
03:17
Now, would you not be defensive and angry?
50
185807
2683
你不會有防禦心或感到生氣嗎？
03:20
Because I know I would be.
51
188514
1733
因為我知道我就會。
03:22
And on top of that,
52
190858
1444
此外，
03:24
those strangers gave you
a dose of naloxone,
a dose of naloxone,
53
192326
2643
那些陌生人還給了你一劑鈉洛酮，
03:26
which has sent you into withdrawals,
54
194993
2484
讓你進入戒斷，
03:29
or what is better known
as "dope sickness."
as "dope sickness."
55
197501
2952
更為人所知的說法是
「毒品戒斷不適」。
「毒品戒斷不適」。
03:33
Dope sickness makes you feel
absolutely horrible.
absolutely horrible.
56
201529
3532
毒品戒斷不適會讓你感覺非常糟糕。
03:37
Some say it's like the flu, times ten.
57
205085
3090
有人說就像是流感再乘以十倍。
03:40
Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, body aches.
58
208625
4228
噁心、嘔吐、腹瀉、身體疼痛。
03:45
So not only did we,
as strangers, wake you up,
as strangers, wake you up,
59
213420
5142
所以，我們這些陌生人
不僅是把你喚醒，
不僅是把你喚醒，
03:50
but we also made you feel really sick.
60
218586
2952
我們還讓你感覺非常不舒服。
03:54
So in turn, you, the patient,
are not going to be very kind to us.
are not going to be very kind to us.
61
222183
5182
所以，相對的，身為病人，
你對我們不會太仁慈。
你對我們不會太仁慈。
03:59
And you're going to refuse
further medical treatment.
further medical treatment.
62
227389
3743
你將會拒絕接受進一步的醫療治療。
04:03
OK, well, then that's going to frustrate
the heck out of us,
the heck out of us,
63
231863
3754
那會讓我們非常有受挫感，
04:07
and we're going to be mad,
64
235641
1381
我們會被惹毛，
04:09
because you're ungrateful
that we just saved your life.
that we just saved your life.
65
237046
3733
因為你不知感激，
我們剛救了你一命呢。
我們剛救了你一命呢。
04:14
This is not a good dynamic here.
66
242062
5384
這並不是很好的互動關係。
04:22
What we are dealing with
is a brain disorder
is a brain disorder
67
250101
3387
我們在處理的是大腦功能失調，
04:25
that changes your thinking.
68
253512
2072
會改變你的思想。
04:27
It convinces you
that you don't have a problem.
that you don't have a problem.
69
255608
2994
它會說服你說你沒有問題。
04:31
So, this might have been not only
the first time you've overdosed,
the first time you've overdosed,
70
259369
5411
所以，這可能不是你
頭一次用藥過量，
頭一次用藥過量，
04:36
it might have been the third,
fourth or fifth time
fourth or fifth time
71
264804
3686
可能是我們第三次、第四次，
04:40
that we, personally, have revived you.
72
268514
2896
或第五次，親手把你救回來。
04:46
This is not a good situation.
73
274490
1933
這並不是很好的狀況。
04:48
Second,
74
276903
1388
再者，
04:51
first responders do not receive
much education
much education
75
279208
3543
第一線應變人員並沒有受過很多
關於物質使用失調的相關教育，
04:54
on what substance use disorder is.
76
282775
2468
04:57
Neither does the medical community.
77
285665
2579
連醫療界也是一樣。
05:00
We're not trained how to deal with those
suffering from substance use disorder.
suffering from substance use disorder.
78
288268
5446
我們沒有受過如何處理
物質使用失調患者的訓練。
物質使用失調患者的訓練。
05:06
I am trained to put out
many different types of fires.
many different types of fires.
79
294580
4103
我受過撲滅各種火災的訓練。
05:10
I am trained to save a life in the moment.
80
298707
2838
我受過當下拯救人命的訓練。
05:13
But I am not trained to deal
with the intricate interaction
with the intricate interaction
81
301569
3302
但我受過的所有訓練
都沒有教我處理第一線應變人員、
都沒有教我處理第一線應變人員、
05:16
between first responders,
the health care community,
the health care community,
82
304895
3171
健康照護圈、社工服務，
和更廣大的群體之間複雜的互動，
和更廣大的群體之間複雜的互動，
05:20
social services
83
308090
1400
05:21
and the wider community that is necessary
to save a life long-term.
to save a life long-term.
84
309514
4300
但要長期拯救生命這是必需學會的。
05:27
Thirdly,
85
315538
1150
第三，
05:30
and this hits home.
86
318228
2262
這點正中要害。
05:33
As a first responder,
I consider myself the cavalry.
I consider myself the cavalry.
87
321173
3666
身為第一線應變人員，
我認為我自己是救兵。
我認為我自己是救兵。
05:37
We're knights in shining armor.
88
325284
2992
我們是穿著閃亮盔甲的騎士。
05:40
We want to swoop in, do our job
and leave feeling satisfied
and leave feeling satisfied
89
328300
4182
我們想要衝到現場，
做我們的工作，帶著滿足感離開，
05:44
that we've made a difference
in somebody's life.
in somebody's life.
90
332506
2579
認為我們為別人的生命帶來了不同。
05:47
But that just doesn't happen
91
335498
1817
但當我們在處理物質
使用失調患者時，
使用失調患者時，
05:49
when we're dealing with somebody
with substance use disorder.
with substance use disorder.
92
337339
3395
就不是這樣的狀況。
05:54
We leave feeling frustrated and useless.
93
342239
2915
我們帶著挫折感和無用感離開。
05:57
We deal with the same people
over and over again,
over and over again,
94
345612
2689
我們不斷處理同樣的人，
06:00
with no positive outcome.
95
348325
1962
沒有任何正面的結果。
06:03
And you know what?
96
351410
1192
你們知道嗎？
在某個時點，我了解到，
在某個時點，我了解到，
06:04
At some point, I realized
that it is up to us as first responders
that it is up to us as first responders
97
352626
4769
我們要以第一線應變人員
以及一個團體的身分，
以及一個團體的身分，
06:09
and as a community
98
357419
1428
06:10
to solve this problem,
99
358871
1624
來解決這個問題，
06:12
to find better ways to deal
with those that are suffering.
with those that are suffering.
100
360519
3471
來找到更好的方式，
處理那些受苦的人。
處理那些受苦的人。
06:17
So what I did is I started
observing more on overdoses.
observing more on overdoses.
101
365185
6386
所以，我便開始
對用藥過量做更多的觀察。
對用藥過量做更多的觀察。
06:24
I started talking
and listening to my patients.
and listening to my patients.
102
372006
3200
我開始和我的病人交談，傾聽他們。
06:27
I wanted to know
what led them to where they are.
what led them to where they are.
103
375609
4277
我想要知道是什麼原因
導致他們變成現在這樣。
導致他們變成現在這樣。
06:32
What exactly are they experiencing?
104
380244
2642
他們到底經歷了什麼？
06:35
What makes their situation worse?
105
383228
2301
什麼會讓他們的狀況更糟？
06:37
What makes their situation better?
106
385553
2267
什麼會讓他們的狀況變好？
06:40
I began experimenting with my words
107
388260
2841
我開始用我的話語來做實驗，
06:43
and paying attention to my own actions
108
391125
2651
並對我自己的行為多加留心，
06:45
and how it affected those of my patients.
109
393800
3018
看我的行為會如何影響我的病人。
06:49
The education that I have received
110
397871
3580
我在亨廷頓市街頭
曾經受到／持續受到的教育，
06:53
and continue to receive
on a street level in Huntington
on a street level in Huntington
111
401475
4599
06:58
has been both eye-opening
and life-changing for me.
and life-changing for me.
112
406098
2882
對我來說，既讓我開了眼界，
也改變了我的人生。
也改變了我的人生。
07:02
So, in Huntington, West Virginia,
we have come together as a community,
we have come together as a community,
113
410951
5412
在西維吉尼亞的亨廷頓市，
我們結合成了一個群體，
我們結合成了一個群體，
07:08
and we are changing the way that we treat
114
416387
2419
對於那些受到這種
可怕疾病所苦的人，
可怕疾病所苦的人，
07:10
those that suffer
from this horrible disease.
from this horrible disease.
115
418830
3524
我們正在改變對待他們的方式。
07:16
We have started many programs,
and it's making a difference.
and it's making a difference.
116
424165
4325
我們開始了許多方案，
創造了很多不同。
創造了很多不同。
07:20
I'll tell you about just a few of those.
117
428950
2667
我會告訴各位其中幾項。
07:24
Last year, we started
a Quick Response Team,
a Quick Response Team,
118
432427
3717
去年，我們成立了快速反應小隊，
07:28
QRT for short.
119
436982
2111
縮寫是 QRT。
07:31
The team consists of a paramedic,
120
439551
2095
小隊成員有一位醫務人員、
07:34
a police officer,
121
442805
1579
一位警官、
07:36
somebody in the recovery community
and somebody in the faith community.
and somebody in the faith community.
122
444408
4354
一名來自康復界的人，
及一名來自宗教信仰界的人。
及一名來自宗教信仰界的人。
07:41
As a team, they go out
and visit people who have overdosed
and visit people who have overdosed
123
449632
3556
在一個人用藥過量被救回來
之後的七十二小時內，
之後的七十二小時內，
07:45
within 72 hours of that resuscitation.
124
453212
2904
整個小隊會一起去造訪他。
07:48
They talk.
125
456427
1168
他們會交談。他們會傾聽。
07:49
They listen.
126
457619
1165
07:50
They build a rapport with that patient,
127
458808
2366
他們會和那名病人建立友好關係，
07:53
and they offer them treatment options.
128
461198
2097
且他們會提供病人一些治療選擇。
07:59
Right now, about 30 percent
or up to 30 percent
or up to 30 percent
129
467650
5111
目前，
在快速應變小隊接觸過的人當中，
08:04
of those that the Quick Response Team
have reached out to

幾個月前，
10:48
I walked out on the apparatus floor,
where I had some firefighters.

我走到消防車車庫，
在那裡有些消防員。

and the other half were getting
ready to have a massage.

10:58
And I saw 10 firefighters
who were bantering

177
646818

我看到十名消防員以非常正面、
11:03
in a very positive, relaxed manner.
178
651155
3036
放鬆的方式在開玩笑。
11:07
And I hadn't seen that in years.
179
655286
2134
我好多年沒看到這種景象了。
11:10
And that relaxed state is trickling down
to the community, to the citizens.
to the community, to the citizens.
180
658453
5468
而那種放鬆的狀態
會向下滲到社區、到市民。
11:16
So a couple of weeks ago,
I had a neighbor overdose.
I had a neighbor overdose.
181
664954

我有一位鄰居用藥過量。
11:21
Twenty-two years old.
182
669191
1316
二十二歲。
11:22
So of course, I hurried down
to help my firefighters and my neighbor.

183
670914
3699
當然，我趕快去協助
我的消防員和那位鄰居。

11:27
And what I witnessed
was my firefighters being supportive.

184
675578

這些消防員的表現充滿支持。
11:32
Talking in a non-judgmental way.
185
680148
2134
他們說話的方式不帶有評斷。
11:34
I watched as one of my firefighters
186
682768
2381
我看著我的其中一位消防員
11:37
showed the father
and another family member
and another family member
187
685173

11:39
how to provide rescue breaths,
should this happen again.

188
687971

如果再發生這樣的事，
要如何做人工呼吸。

dislike the most?

You know, I recognize that there have been
drug epidemics before.

12:09
And I've seen what crack
can do to a community.
can do to a community.
197
717970
3200
我曾經見過古柯鹼對社區的影響。
12:14
A lot of our critics think
198
722081
2343
很多評論家認為
12:16
that this new compassionate response
that we're doing in Huntington
that we're doing in Huntington
199
724448
5296
我們在亨廷頓市做
這種新的同情式應變
這種新的同情式應變
12:21
is because of race.
200
729768
2804
是因為種族。
12:24
That because the overdoses are happening
so much to the white community.
so much to the white community.
201
732596
5073
因為在白人社區
發生這麼多用藥過量。
發生這麼多用藥過量。
12:30
And I understand that criticism,
202
738392
2159
我能了解這種批評，
12:32
because we as a country messed up.
203
740575
2726
因為我們這個國家搞砸了。
12:36
And we treated black people poorly
during the crack epidemic.

204
744115
3905
在古柯鹼流行的時候，
我們對待黑人的方式很糟糕。
我們對待黑人的方式很糟糕。
12:40
We can't forget that.
205
748980
1555
我們無法忘懷這件事。
我們必須要做得更好。
我們必須要做得更好。
12:42
And we must do better.

1865
12:45
But right now, what I know
is people are dying.

dealing with the opioid
epidemic is stigma.

216
792815
2934
所遇到的障礙之一就是視之為羞恥。
13:29
So ...
217

1150
所以……
13:32
We in Huntington, West Virginia,
