Registered nurse Greg Stoddard provided a detailed breakdown of narcotics used in emergency medicine. Stoddard explained that while fentanyl is potent, its short half-life makes it safer for clinical administration. He noted that experienced addicts often prefer Dilaudid (hydromorphone) because it causes less nausea and has a longer-lasting euphoric effect compared to other opioids.
