Narcan didn’t just pop onto pharmacy shelves like some miracle fairy dust. Nope, it exists because 'people made it happen.' That’s right, behind every handy lifesaving nasal spray is a crew of actual humans who wrangled approval, distribution, and awareness—in case you thought medical breakthroughs just grew on trees. So next time you see Narcan, remember it’s less about magic and more about stubborn folks who refused to let apathy win. Because if we waited for a magic wand, we’d probably all still be guessing how to stop OD deaths.
