What the Audience Is Asking
Priority: 100 client IG comments from @1nursecharles. No competitor comments returned this cycle.
"How is this treated at the hospital?"
"I'm only inquiring, how do you get Consent to show your patients due to Privacy & HIPPA regulations? I just want to know."
"Pharmaceutical video next? Please and thank you. Can't do one without the other @1nursecharles. Mind and body altering substances in the dispensary and ER."
"I lost my son Nov 18 last year to this. He was my only child and 20 years old."
"I make Narcan, aka naloxone IV too often at work. Daily! Naloxone 4mg nasal is OTC, covered by your health benefits card. Just bought it to have on hand just in case."
"I wish there was a way that I could share the overdoses we work without violating HIPAA. If they could only picture themselves laying on the floor turning blue..."
"11 YEARS CLEAN GODBLESS"
"Outstanding public service announcement… THIS SHOULD BE SHOWN TO EVERY HIGHSCHOOL STUDENT… IMMEDIATELY."
"Omg this happen to my daughter it took a whole year to get her back to normal"
"Brother you are not a researcher. You are a nurse with experience. You telling other people not to build an opinion based on their experience but you are making content doing the same thing. Where is the peer reviewed anything?"
Recurring Pain Points
- • Kids getting access to cannabis products — parents don't know what to do when it goes wrong
- • Lack of practical emergency information: "what do I actually do if this happens?"
- • HIPAA curiosity — what can nurses share and why?
- • Pro-cannabis vs. clinical reality debate (drives saves/shares through controversy)
Emotional Themes
Fear (for children) · Grief (personal losses to fentanyl) · Gratitude (toward Charles for "speaking the truth") · Anger (at legalization, gas station vapes, system failures) · Hope (recovery stories, calls for education)
