As a retired Dallas Firefighter paramedic, who spent my last 3 yrs as a dispatcher. When a call is received the disatcher catogorizes it as 1 of 7 situations and one of those is an overdose. An overdose includes just what it is an overdose but some other things it includes is a drug reaction[ which this probably is]. The designation of the type of call triggers some automatic procedures which sometimes include ,notification of the police. With my experience in dealing with similar situations, this is just an overreaction because its TO. Probably a bad reaction to the painkillers due to the lack of releif he got from them and taking more than perscribed. Trying to get relief. Media making a story when none is there.
