Earthquake!

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.

Dude, I'd've (please note my clever use of contractions) made up some
story about "verts" and "amplitude" and "going big" even if I slipped in
the bathtub.

That's why drug seekers in the ER astound me. 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.

I'll avoid the obvious troll...

Criminie, look what this group has devolved to. An earthquake notice turns
into a discussion of drug addiction.

Dude, my man... would you stop trying to turn *MY* drug addiction thread
into a discussion of your piddly little earthquake

So what get's you through the time of no snow?

Of to hijack more threads...

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?

Ahh, the trade deficit. Good point.

Now that you mention it, maybe Beijing would be a better choice.

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.

Nah, just bored. So how's that knob waxing working out for you?

How's the addiction working out for you?

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.

Dude, dude, you'd've been proud of me. 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.

Humph. In the old days you would have been expected to disembowel
yourself rather than admit to pain. Perhaps that explains why
17th-century medical insurance was so cheap.
