...or those that know.
What did they give Renton in the hospital that made him wake up?
I have heard there is something that totally blocks heroin effects.
Nurses would inject dying patients and they would cuss the nurses out for taking away their high.

Probably Narcan. We use it in the ER where I work.
shareRichard is right. We also use it to reverse the events of prescription opiods. We had a patient who had an adverse reaction tp painkillers and had to give her narcan. There were 6 of us looming over her, including respiratory therapy; waiting for her to come around. She did but, the pain comes back almost right away so we have to treat her pain all over again and make sure she doesn't crash; sometimes I think I must be a masochist to do this job.....
shareOK. I was wondering if it was adrenaline like in Pulp Fiction. Of course, without the "stabby through the heart thing". :)

Narcan/Naloxone like someone else said. I worked in a dingy city in the US as an EMT and I have seen this done countless times. We don't usually yell as loud as she did, but we do try to roust them via a sternum rub unless it was obvious they were ODing (very little to no breathing, blue tinge to the lips, "he's been like that for five minutes", etc).
shareAfter the narcan is injected the opiates are "flushed" away leaving the person in withdrawal.
