You rang? The drug was Fentanyl, or a derivative of it. My anesthetists use it all of the time, and like it for its quickness and pain-killing abilities. (The body feels pain and reacts accordingly, even when the patient is unconscious.) Trouble is, when they use Fentanyl, they are breathing for the patient via an endotracheal tube. Too bad that the Russki government couldn't have told it's doctors treating the survivors, or they could have cured them with just a shor of Narcan.
