Yeah, but it doesn't last long. But I always say, "some doctors like that feeling so much they're willling to trade their whole career for it." That's what I've heard. Many an anesthesialogist has been ensnared by it, apparently. Fentanyl in the ER? That's a little uncommon. I had it for a shoulder dislocation this January (from a slip and fall on the steps outside my building, not skiing). They called it "conscious sedation". They had me hooked up to a heart monitor and everything. But I swear, I could get my arm ripped off and I'd be standing there with a big wad of papertowels clamped over my bloody shoulder stump, thinking, "If I go to the ER I'm going to have wait all god damned night! Fetch me my styptic pencil." You could be standing there with your arm ripped off at the ER and they would still be making you fill out forms. Uggh. Dave |

THere's people out there who will spend 12 hours hanging around the ER with goofy stories hoping that they may walk out with a script for 4 or 5 Percocet. Holy smokes, how bad does your life have to be to go through that misery for a couple of pills. Yikes. Dave |

So what get's you through the time of no snow? Of to hijack more threads... Dave |

crap: Terd Fartingmor wrote: tm wrote The boss and i use the stairs as a smoking room. Undoubtedly against some rule, but no one has complained. Far easier to hide in a stairwell than to go all the way down and huddle in the rain with the other losers. I think it would be easier to quit smoking. Lucky for me that no one cares what you think, dumbass. Go shine your knob with car wax. Did I strike a nerve, smokey? My T-shirt says, "This shirt is the ultimate power in the universe." |

The boss and i use the stairs as a smoking room. I quit smoking (23 years, .75 packs/day, Marlboro reds) in late December, 2003. Really, one of the easier accomplishments of my life. Easier than dumping my ex-girlfriend, and easier than deciding on my next pair of ski boots. Anyway, this nonsense that smoking is so addictive is a crock of ****, almost as big of a myth as global warming. Hell, good powder skiing is more addictive than smoking ! Funny thing though, after a good epic powder run, I would usually enjoy a nice smoke on the lift, unless it was really windy, then it would be hard to light the cig. That's why you always light-up in the lift line, just before you jump on. Anyway, that was always the best smoke of the day...the one right after a good steep n' deep run. -Astro --- AstroPax Photography - Aviation http://www.xmission.com/~hound/astro...n/aviation.htm --- |

Holy smokes, how bad does your life have to be to go through that misery for a couple of pills. Yikes. Then they gave me 30 tiny codiene pills. I ate them all and it didn't stop hurting. I begged for percocets, but here in Japan we are apparently made of sterner stuff. My doctor writes me perscriptions for all the pain pills I want. He says I can take up to 14 a day. But I never take more than one. I haven't taken any in the last six days. I don't like the side effects. My T-shirt says, "This shirt is the ultimate power in the universe." |

While simultaneously drunken airborn on my bike and assisting in an emergency breech delivery, I suffered an acromioclavicular separation. Didn't hurt much until the concussion wore off.

Perhaps that explains why 17th-century medical insurance was so cheap. -- Cheers, Bev ---------------------------------------------------------------- "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." --Ernst Jan Plugge |
