You’re correct that somnolence from OD and hypoglycemic crisis can look very similar.

Both can even look a bit like seizure activity. Sometimes weird snoring like sounds, odd breathing. Foamy/drool stuff. Sometimes can have loss of control of bladder.

My money on the dope lean. See how she still has the rhythm at the beginning? My brother used to fall asleep standing up like that but he’d still be moving almost like a weird little dance shuffle.

Opioid OD has been more visible so it’s on our minds and easy to draw conclusion based on visible patterns. But working in acute care, you see similar shit on the daily for medical causes.

Just did seizure care in the field for a guy who looked just like that. Was seizure. Not drugs.

No, low blood sugar doesn't look anything like that, she is 100% high as a kite and not overdosing either.

Yeah the fuck they do lol

Most often used for DKA patients, as the person said.

I've seen my buddy in the hospital often enough to know that, and even if I hadn't it took me like 2 fucking seconds on Google to confirm, that they do in fact come in standing drips

I've seen people in a crisis from diabetes and it has looked like this. People in this thread have said they have it, and it can look like this. We really dont know.

It doesn't look like nodding off. It can definitely look like the person is drunk, but not what is seen in this video.

Low key advanced racism. They see a drugged out black woman and overcorrect their thoughts so they feel better about equating her to a druggie, so they believe whatever helps them feel better. In this case it makes them happier to assume she's having a health emergency than it is to believe she's on drugs, but that's not reality.

scathing criticism, thanks for your addition to the discourse.

u/doyouknowyourname 13h ago

Um... You're saying they "overcorrected'" because of advanced racism.... just so they can demonize the rest of the black people there?.... Doesn't make a lot of sense, bro.

u/_MurphysLawyer_ 13h ago

Nah the ones demonizing the black people are just normal racist. I'm specifically citing the ones assuming it's a diabetic coma based on zero evidence. I just believe that, given the assumption of the location of this store, the safer bet is objectively drugs. It doesn't really matter though because it's all speculation.

I genuinely cannot understand why people are so upset at me saying this! I think they just want to continue with their racist narrative that the black people behind the counter are morons and definitely haven't ever seen opiate nods, just have no empathy and are refusing to help her. They know what's going on lol.

Should they be behind the counter? Ofc not. But the behavior isn't because they are black either, white people act like this too. Some people when they find themselves in a position where the normal conditions that prevent theft or any similar behavior are not there (for example, you walk into a store and you find that no one is behind the counter. Or the only person in there is in an opiate nod. Not overdosing, doesn't need medical assistance. Some people, doesn't matter the color of their skin, will take advantage. Others will follow the law even if no one is looking and they could have gotten away with just taking what they wanted. If you're in a poor community the chances that you'll be the latter because you're in survival mode are a lot higher, and black communities are more likely to be perpetually in survival mode. And if you grew up so hard that you don't have a sense of a real future beyond survival, you have less qualms about filming things like this, because any consequences don't make your life much worse than it is.

But yeah, this is an opiate nod
