Dropping Like Flies.

I believe many of these "accidental overdoses" are really suicides. These sad people can't up and shoot themselves, but they engage in very hazardous behavior in a seemingly oblivious manner. I think they know what they are doing and hope they don't wake up because they are so depressed.

I was working in an ER when the radio call came in that a (description) male suspected of an overdose was being brought in. A nurse said that sounded like a guy brought in two weeks ago, who was 10 minutes from death. She said she talked to him for 45 minutes after he came around. She said she sure hoped it wasn't the same guy.

It was. This time Dead On Arrival. As I stood there looking down at his dead body something just wasn't right.

What wasn't right was everyone acted like this was an accident on his part. It wasn't. It was like Suicide By Cop, where the deceased deliberately puts himself in a lethal environment and hopes someone else will do to him what he couldn't do to himself.

Charlie,
Do you know the difference between "naked" and "nude"?


"Nude" is when you don't have any clothes on.

"Naked" is when you don't have any clothes on and you are doing something you shouldn't be doing.

Neked is when you do it south of the Mason-Dixon.

From the letimate doctor's point of view

( thought to self: I'd have thought that even a Cajun lawyer could spell legitimate

)

Caje,

I was using the term "doctor" in a generic way. If I had been referring specifically to Doctors of Medicine or Doctor of Osteopathy, I would have said "Physician". Lots of "doctors (from the Latin word meaning to teach) out there...MD's, PhD's, DDS's, DVM's, DO's, DPhar's, etc. Unfortunately all of us who have the ability to prescribe drugs (MD, DO,DVM, DDS) are the ones who have to deal with abuse on both sides of the prescription pad.

If you want to really be specific, the PhD's will tell you that only they are the "real" doctors. (If that doesn't suck SaxonP into the discussion, nothing will.

)

We oughta hand out suicide pills to those that want them and spike the illegal ones with a killer variety...

If the idiots taking the illegal stuff never knew if it was safe or not it would cut down on the use and distribution one way or another wouldn't it?

Painful in the short term maybe but then again it may cure the p[roblem after a while...

Glad to see Charlie back giving us the weekend report.
I think that this is a really difficult problem to control. Even in situations where people come in every week for their “meds’ and are given only a weeks supply, some will take them all at once, some others save them for multiple weeks, then have a little personal party.
If you are hell bent on self destruction it’s going to be hard for the rest of us to stop you.
That said I sure don’t want to make it easy.

Hard is not the correct word in this sentence; "Impossible" is the only word that truly fits.

"Nude" is when you don't have any clothes on.

"Naked" is when you don't have any clothes on and you are doing something you shouldn't be doing.

In South Georgia "nude" isn't even a word
"Naked" means you don't have any clothes on.
"Nekkid" means you don't have any clothes on and you are up to something
