We now call this a health epidemic,
18
70146
2230
我们现在称之为“健康危机”。
我们也用“药物使用障碍”来代替“成瘾”。
01:24
and we have replaced the name "addiction"
with "substance use disorder."
with "substance use disorder."
19
72400
4572
01:29
To give you some perspective
20
77688
1699
我可以向你们展示
这场危机已经变得多么的严重。
01:31
of how significant
this epidemic has become,

21
79411
3857
2017年，在我们这个人口9.5万的郡，
01:35
in 2017, in my county of 95,000 people,
22
83292
6103
已有1831例的服药过量的案件，
01:41
we saw 1,831 overdoses
23
89419
3857
01:46
[and] 183 deaths from overdose.

01:51
This is the job of my firefighters,
as well as other agencies,

我的消防员们和其它机构的工作

1151
（咳嗽声）
不好意思。
01:59
Excuse me.
28
107465
1150
02:02
So, watching this epidemic
unfold for several years,
unfold for several years,
29
110239
5277
所以，在几年里目睹了
这类危机的发生后，
这类危机的发生后，
我有了一些自己的见解。
02:07
I developed some insight.
30
115540
1667
02:10
For this disaster, we need to redefine
our job as a first responder.
our job as a first responder.
31
118342
4725
在这类危机中，我们需要
重新定义自己作为第一反应人的工作。
重新定义自己作为第一反应人的工作。
02:15
We need to be more than just the cavalry.
32
123682
2746
我们需要做的不仅仅
是像骑兵一样冲锋，
是像骑兵一样冲锋，
我们需要做的不仅仅
是救出一个生命，
是救出一个生命，
02:18
We need to do more than just save a life.
33
126452
2839
我们还需要找到重塑
那个生命的方法。
那个生命的方法。
02:21
We need to find ways to rebuild that life.
34
129315
3770
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
而这将需要多人的努力。
02:28
And that is exactly
what we are trying to do
what we are trying to do
36
136530
2483
这也正是我们在
西弗吉尼亚州的亨廷顿
西弗吉尼亚州的亨廷顿
尝试着去做的一件事。
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
现在我来说说，
我们是如何处理这些问题的。
我们是如何处理这些问题的。
02:38
First, this is what happens
when somebody overdoses.
when somebody overdoses.
39
146845
4548
首先，是过量服用
药物后会发生什么。
药物后会发生什么。
02:44
Imagine you are somebody who is suffering
from the brain disorder of addiction.
from the brain disorder of addiction.
40
152240
5286
想象一下你正饱受上瘾
导致的大脑紊乱之苦，
导致的大脑紊乱之苦，
02:50
You are fragile.
41
158542
1381
你很脆弱，
你很窘迫，你感到惭愧，
02:51
You're embarrassed, you're ashamed.
42
159947
2388
02:56
And you overdose.
43
164003
1729
而且你服药过量。
02:58
Maybe a friend
or a family member calls 911.
or a family member calls 911.
44
166728
3341
也许一个朋友或家人拔打了911，
03:02
And then all of a sudden,
45
170593
1913
然后突然间，
你被五六个穿着工作服的陌生人唤醒。
03:04
you are awakened by five or six
total strangers in uniform.
total strangers in uniform.
46
172530
6481
03:11
And they're rubbing your sternum,
47
179363
1634
他们按摩着你的胸骨，
并且在喊：“醒醒，快醒醒！
03:13
and they're saying, "Wake up, wake up!
48
181021
2048
你服药过量了，你差点就死了。”
03:15
You overdosed, you could've died."
49
183093
2400
03:17
Now, would you not be defensive and angry?
50
185807
2683
你难道不会摆出防御姿态
并且感到愤怒吗？
并且感到愤怒吗？
因为我知道我肯定会，
03:20
Because I know I would be.
51
188514
1733
03:22
And on top of that,
52
190858
1444
然后紧接着，
这些陌生人会给你来一剂纳洛酮，
03:24
those strangers gave you
a dose of naloxone,
a dose of naloxone,
53
192326
2643
将你带入药物戒断综合征，
03:26
which has sent you into withdrawals,
54
194993
2484
也就是”戒断不适“。
03:29
or what is better known
as "dope sickness."
as "dope sickness."
55
197501
2952
03:33
Dope sickness makes you feel
absolutely horrible.
absolutely horrible.
56
201529
3532
戒断不适会让你感觉非常痛苦，
有人说它的难受程度是流感的十倍，
03:37
Some say it's like the flu, times ten.
57
205085
3090
03:40
Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, body aches.
58
208625
4228
恶心、呕吐、腹泻、全身酸痛。
03:45
So not only did we,
as strangers, wake you up,
as strangers, wake you up,
59
213420
5142
所以我们这些陌生人不仅把你叫醒，
还让你感到非常的不适。
03:50
but we also made you feel really sick.
60
218586
2952
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
反过来，作为病人的你
也就不会对我们友好。
也就不会对我们友好。
你会拒绝接受进一步的治疗，
03:59
And you're going to refuse
further medical treatment.
further medical treatment.
62
227389
3743
04:03
OK, well, then that's going to frustrate
the heck out of us,
the heck out of us,
63
231863
3754
然后你对我们的厌恶
会让我们感到沮丧，
会让我们感到沮丧，
我们会变得抓狂。
04:07
and we're going to be mad,
64
235641
1381
因为我们救了你的命，你却不领情。
04:09
because you're ungrateful
that we just saved your life.
that we just saved your life.
65
237046
3733
04:14
This is not a good dynamic here.
66
242062
5384
这基本上就是恶性循环。
04:22
What we are dealing with
is a brain disorder
is a brain disorder
67
250101
3387
我们面对的是改变你思维的
04:25
that changes your thinking.
68
253512
2072
大脑紊乱，
它使你相信自己状态良好。
04:27
It convinces you
that you don't have a problem.
that you don't have a problem.
69
255608
2994
04:31
So, this might have been not only
the first time you've overdosed,
the first time you've overdosed,
70
259369
5411
这可能不是你第一次服药过量，
有可能这是我们第三、第四
04:36
it might have been the third,
fourth or fifth time
fourth or fifth time
71
264804
3686
或者第五次唤醒你。
04:40
that we, personally, have revived you.
72
268514
2896
04:46
This is not a good situation.
73
274490
1933
形势不是很好。
04:48
Second,
74
276903
1388
其次，
04:51
first responders do not receive
much education
much education
75
279208
3543
第一反应人对于“药物使用障碍”
没有多少的认知，
04:54
on what substance use disorder is.
76
282775
2468
04:57
Neither does the medical community.
77
285665
2579
甚至在医学界也是如此。
我们没有接受过如何处理
药物使用障碍的训练。
药物使用障碍的训练。
05:00
We're not trained how to deal with those
suffering from substance use disorder.
suffering from substance use disorder.
78
288268
5446
05:06
I am trained to put out
many different types of fires.
many different types of fires.
79
294580
4103
我接受过扑灭许多
不同类型火灾的训练，
不同类型火灾的训练，
我接受过在现场救人的训练，
05:10
I am trained to save a life in the moment.
80
298707
2838
但我从没有被训练过
如何去处理第一反应人与
如何去处理第一反应人与
05:13
But I am not trained to deal
with the intricate interaction
with the intricate interaction
81
301569
3302
医疗卫生领域、社会服务
以及对于长远的
以及对于长远的
05:16
between first responders,
the health care community,
the health care community,
82
304895
3171
拯救一个生命有帮助的
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
更广泛的群体之间错综复杂的关系。
05:27
Thirdly,
85
315538
1150
第三点，
05:30
and this hits home.
86
318228
2262
这也是最切中要害的一点。
05:33
As a first responder,
I consider myself the cavalry.
I consider myself the cavalry.
87
321173
3666
作为一个第一响应人，
我将自己看作骑兵。
我将自己看作骑兵。
05:37
We're knights in shining armor.
88
325284
2992
我们是盔甲骑士，
我们想要冲进事发现场，投入工作，
05:40
We want to swoop in, do our job
and leave feeling satisfied
and leave feeling satisfied
89
328300
4182
然后因拯救了别人
而心满意足地离开。
而心满意足地离开。
05:44
that we've made a difference
in somebody's life.
in somebody's life.
90
332506
2579
05:47
But that just doesn't happen
91
335498
1817
但是当我们面对
药物使用障碍的病人时却并不能如愿。
05:49
when we're dealing with somebody
with substance use disorder.
with substance use disorder.
92
337339
3395
05:54
We leave feeling frustrated and useless.
93
342239
2915
我们往往在离开时
感到沮丧和无能为力。
感到沮丧和无能为力。
05:57
We deal with the same people
over and over again,
over and over again,
94
345612
2689
我们一次又一次的面对同一个病人，
而得不到任何积极的成果。
06:00
with no positive outcome.
95
348325
1962
06:03
And you know what?
96
351410
1192
你知道吗？
在某一刻，我突然意识到
这一切都需要我们
这一切都需要我们
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
作为第一反应人，以及
06:09
and as a community
98
357419
1428
一个团体来解决这个问题，
06:10
to solve this problem,
99
358871
1624
去找到一个更好的方法
来解除他们所受之苦。
来解除他们所受之苦。
06:12
to find better ways to deal
with those that are suffering.
with those that are suffering.
100
360519
3471
06:17
So what I did is I started
observing more on overdoses.
observing more on overdoses.
101
365185
6386
因此我开始把注意力
更多地放在服药过量上，
更多地放在服药过量上，
06:24
I started talking
and listening to my patients.
and listening to my patients.
102
372006
3200
我开始倾听，并跟我的病人交谈，
06:27
I wanted to know
what led them to where they are.
what led them to where they are.
103
375609
4277
我想知道是什么导致
他们走到目前的地步。
他们走到目前的地步。
06:32
What exactly are they experiencing?
104
380244
2642
他们正在经历什么？
06:35
What makes their situation worse?
105
383228
2301
怎样会令他们的情况更糟糕？
怎样会让他们的情况好转？
06:37
What makes their situation better?
106
385553
2267
06:40
I began experimenting with my words
107
388260
2841
我开始斟酌使用不同的字眼，
并且留意自己的行为，
06:43
and paying attention to my own actions
108
391125
2651
来观察它们对我的病人的影响。
06:45
and how it affected those of my patients.
109
393800
3018
06:49
The education that I have received
110
397871
3580
我在亨延顿实地学到
并且还将继续学习的知识，
06:53
and continue to receive
on a street level in Huntington
on a street level in Huntington
111
401475
4599
令我大开眼界，并改变了我的生活。
06:58
has been both eye-opening
and life-changing for me.
and life-changing for me.
112
406098
2882
07:02
So, in Huntington, West Virginia,
we have come together as a community,
we have come together as a community,
113
410951
5412
在西弗吉利亚州亨延顿，
我们形成了一个团体，
我们形成了一个团体，
我们改变了对待
07:08
and we are changing the way that we treat
114
416387
2419
饱受这一可怕疾病
困扰的患者的方式。
困扰的患者的方式。
07:10
those that suffer
from this horrible disease.
from this horrible disease.
115
418830
3524
07:16
We have started many programs,
and it's making a difference.
and it's making a difference.
116
424165
4325
我们启动了很多项目，
它们正在发挥作用。
它们正在发挥作用。
07:20
I'll tell you about just a few of those.
117
428950
2667
让我来讲讲其中的几个。
07:24
Last year, we started
a Quick Response Team,
a Quick Response Team,
118
432427
3717
去年，我们组建了
一个快速反应小组，
一个快速反应小组，
07:28
QRT for short.
119
436982
2111
简称QRT。
07:31
The team consists of a paramedic,
120
439551
2095
这个小组的成员
包括一个护理人员、
包括一个护理人员、
07:34
a police officer,
121
442805
1579
一个警察、
07:36
somebody in the recovery community
and somebody in the faith community.
and somebody in the faith community.
122
444408
4354
一个来自康复团体的人员，
以及一个来自宗教团体的人员。
以及一个来自宗教团体的人员。
07:41
As a team, they go out
and visit people who have overdosed
and visit people who have overdosed
123
449632
3556
作为一个团队，他们一起
访问那些苏醒后，
访问那些苏醒后，
在72小时内又服药过量的病人。
07:45
within 72 hours of that resuscitation.
124
453212
2904
07:48
They talk.
125
456427
1168
他们与病人交谈，
他们倾听，
07:49
They listen.
126
457619
1165
他们与病人建立良好的关系，
07:50
They build a rapport with that patient,
127
458808
2366
并为他们提供不同的治疗方案。
07:53
and they offer them treatment options.
128
461198
2097
07:59
Right now, about 30 percent
or up to 30 percent
or up to 30 percent
129
467650
5111
目前为止，快速反应小组
接触过的病人中
接触过的病人中
大约有30%已经
08:04
of those that the Quick Response Team
have reached out to
have reached out to
130
472785
4370
寻求并接受了某些帮助。
08:09
have accepted some form of help.
131
477179
2133
08:12
And the wonderful thing about this
132
480125
2627
这件事的美妙之处在于，
这个小组中的第一反应人
08:14

And that relaxed state is trickling down
to the community, to the citizens.

我们在亨廷顿做的这种
