One day I couldn't breathe and had crushing chest pains. Now, you would think I would get immediate medical attention, but instead I waited 18 hours and then went to the ER. They took my pulse, which was 250 beats per minute, and then gave me adenosine to return my heart to a normal rhythm. Adenosine normally causes a feeling of impending doom when it's injected, but I already had that so I didn't notice much in the way of psychiatric effects, it just made my ability to breath go from minimal to nil for about 15 seconds. I was diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, which normally is diagnosed in childhood, and let go the next day with a prescription for metoprolol. They ablated the accessory electrical pathway a few months later and I haven't had any problems since then. Also every time I've ever had a seizure in public. People just don't loving believe you when you tell them it happens all the time and you'd rather not pay for an ambulance, the loving cunts, they should have to pay for it if they're so goddamn worried about me.

They usually just fix you up, you say "I can't pay", they say "Don't worry about it" and then they lower your credit rating. At least this is my understanding, I've always been able to pay... After a cash gift from my rich-ish dad.

Just complain louder and louder and when they ask you to rate your pain on a scale of 1 to 10 say "7 or 8". They'll probably eventually give you dilaudid.

William Stoner posted:I've never head about the educational purposes piece. Maybe it was some other lame justification I heard, I just know it's a million times easier to do it and not get caught than it is to do with pot. Also it's fun and makes you feel like a wizard or something.

Oh yeah, when I had my first major seizure that I knew about* (since I was like 3) around the age of 19 or 20, I broke my nose. In the ER they gave me morphine, which didn't work, so they gave me a double dose, which didn't work, so they gave me another, which didn't work, so they gave me dilaudid, which didn't work, so they gave me a double dose, which didn't work, and so on several more times. I was wide awake and surly. The anti-inflammatory they gave me worked the best. My physician dad later told me he'd never seen anything like it and that it would have been a fatal OD for anyone else outside of a hospital setting. So morphine and dilaudid don't work on me for whatever reason. For some reason hydrocodone and oxycodone work fine (with quadruple doses at least), though. Go figure.William Stoner posted:I can't imagine how microdosing would work based on the extreme tolerance a person builds. It would function only as a placebo, like normal doses of smart drugs. *I had one when I was 12 and then when I was 13, but nobody saw and I didn't hurt myself so I had no idea.
