Injuries Really Really Suck

Naprosyn Sustained Release 1000! Great stuff. When the back flares up, this
stuff will flare it back down again, and it has a shell so the stuff doesn't
come out until it's past your stomach.

It's sad when people try overdosing on paracetamol/actominaphen to kill
themselves. It'll kill you, but it's SLOW and horribly painful as your liver
curls up and dissolves.

It's awful when some makes a "suicidal gesture" to get attention and
happens to pick Tylenol instead of aspirin or Prozac or something
relatively harmless.

Gee, Scott, now that your superior detective work had determined Ant's
place of employment*, you must dash off a letter to the GM teeling the
truth about her. Include lots of evidence, like RSA postings, news
reports, police reports, and the Wired article. That'll convince
them.

Oh, wait. It's July. D'OH!

Happy to show rsa postings. There's always next year.

To the best of my (limited) knowledge, Ant has never worked more than
one year in any North American resort. Better try a mass mailing.

It can cause liver problems, though. I went back to ibuprofen. So far, so
good.

You're safe from the 1000. From what I have gathered, the strongest you guys
are allowed to have is 750. Dunno why.
Only side effect I get from the 1000 is I get hot at night (you eat it
during dinner).

These things totally nuke inflammation and flare ups of injuries.

Ouch! It's gotta be a drag to find yourself on the receiving end of
medical care. Good luck with the MRI - like someone suggested earplugs
are a good idea. Hope you're not claustrophobic.

When I had mine the tech gave me a headphone and managed to find a classical
music station for me. There was a picture of an open window looking out on
a garden on the ceiling. I almost fell asleep.

If you're claustrophobic (like my mom) close your eyes before it starts and
DO NOT OPEN THEM AGAIN until it's all over. Even the "open" machines can be
daunting.

I've had one before. One of the funny stories is that any sort of
implanted metal can preclude an MRI. One of my patients was examined
and I got a phone call telling me that this guy had a cylindrical
metal object in his head and he couldn't have an MRI. I asked the
patient what the metal was - he said he was out bird hunting with his
pastor and the preacher accidentally shot him in the head-How Dick
Cheney can you get. I wonder how many times a year that happens in
Texas.
