As others have said, wash in cold and hang dry. I haven’t used a dryer in years and even my cheap clothes have lasted. Also get a couple mesh bags to protect delicate items.

It’s free in Canada.
If you do Narcan someone don’t hover. Step out of range. Many people after having been Narcaned will wake up volatile. It’s a reaction from being high to having that high totally taken away.
So just be aware they can come up swinging.

Do your clothes feel best when they are new? The only new clothes I love are socks. Everything seems so much better about 20 washes in.

Anything with elastic don't dry on high heat. It breaks it down so fast.

I always air dry but hate when my crewneck collars get wrinkly! Any tips on keeping them nice and flat?

You aren't good at your job. You think basic tenets of communication equate to being a doormat.

Please ignore my ignorance, you’re correct that you’re pretty well protected unless you do something with gross negligence or intent to cause injury. I guess just make sure you know what you’re doing, because if you stab a major artery and they bleed out, or you just randomly pound on the person’s chest, that might be considered gross negligence, but I’m not a lawyer obviously

When you say new, maybe you I looking for the stiffness. Try starching and ironing!

Yepp, blows me away. It's not just for the person ODing, it's for everyone in their community: their family, their friends, the first responders, the teachers, church members etc. A ton of folks seem to lack the ability to care for anyone other than themselves or to see past the surface level impact.

It’s so strange seeing so many comments devoid of empathy. Like we get it, not everyone wants to play the hero card but that shouldn’t mean they deserve to die. Let’s not forget that the U.S. opioid crisis started from a pharmaceutical company claiming that their product is “not addictive” and so many people are struggling to fight their own battles on top of trying to get clean. Also Narcan now comes in a nasal spray configuration.

I have a drying rack that I drape my clothes over helps with wrinkles, but I'll do I light iron if needed.

Quite the opposite. I'm good at my job. Very good. I'm also not going to carry anyone, because that's not what I'm employed to do.

Your "pro-tip" invites people to walk over you. It's at best obvious, and at worst just plain bad.

Anyhoo. I'm sure you have lots of other people's work to do before the weekend, so have a good one.

I usually put them in the dryer for 5-10 minutes to get the wrinkles and static out then hang everything to air dry

Yeah… he was a close friend too. And always responsible. It’s shaken me a bit. He was found just after midnight on New Year’s Day during a wellness check. I had just texted him 12 hours before. The autopsy said he had fentanyl in his system but didn’t specifically say it was a fentanyl overdose. I just can’t imagine what else happened… It definitely shook me.

Sounds like you aren't making a contribution if your philosophy is intentional inefficiency. Perhaps you're confusing respect with relief you weren't complete dead weight.

This is the way.

Source on the CPR example? I thought this was the point of Good Samaritan Laws, where a person administering CPR is protected from legal proceedings from cpr injuries (I.e broken rib)

Or “don’t carry a gun for protection, just call the cops!”

What is the apps name?

Also known as the "soul" in soul food.

Good for the soul. Body, not so much.

That's terrifying. I don't use but work with people in recovery and with the general public. Stay safe.

Who said that you should be useless? The opposite in fact. People should value and respect your contribution. Not just dump shit on your desk to the point where you have a system for accepting it

Whenever I hang dry towels from the dryer (with much less detergent than the instructions recommend and using an extra rinse cycle), they end up feeling coarse. If I dry in a dryer, even on low heat, they feel soft. How do you get towels and clothes feeling soft and fluffy without using a dryer?

And get sued because I accidentally injected someone I thought was od’ing but wasn’t? No thanks. I know it’s not dangerous to give narcan to someone who’s not od’ing, but unless you’re trained to recognize an OD and administer narcan, you’re fucked if you fuck up by assuming. Even people who save someone’s life by administering CPR can be screwed over if they accidentally injure the person in the process of saving their life.
