Here is drug related story for you!
1999 and a ride south to Patagonia. We were based in Cohyaique Chile and the ride was south and back.
The morning of day three we left a lake Hostel in Patagonia headed back to Cohyaique after a day south to Port Yungey.
Crossing a curving to the right concrete bridge, my front tire went flat and promptly peeled off leaving the rim on the concrete! The bike stopped at the Armco Barrier; however I proceeded in a slow roll in the air down an embankment landing in a rip rap along the river. My back pack and bum bag took the brunt of the energy as well as my camera bag. So much for the camera! I was alive and conscious, however by right foot was twisted to the right – Fkna…..my ride was over. I quickly surmised that the lower foot was a mess.
My buddies hauled me up and put in the back of pickup for an 8 hour trip to the Regional Hospital in Cohyaique. This is where the pain meds come into the story. NOT as there were no pain meds. We get to the hospital late that evening and the emergency room is dirty, cob webs in the windows and the garbage was overflowing. They wanted to slide the Aplinestars off and I said not a chance. Soon there-after one of the med techs produced a toad stabber about 10” long and slit the boot. Off came the boot and the sock- ugly!!
They made small cast tray to lay my foot in and that set. I was then off to a room and put me the queue for X-rays. I was informed by some of my Chilean speaking friends that the young man in the bed next to me was going have his lower leg amputated due to an infection for a similar injury. Hmmm. Oh and before I forget this story is about pain meds. NOT as there were no pain meds.
The X-ray tech came and rolled me away. They lifted my foot and threw the custom fitted cast tray into a chair and the cloth flew out. Then my lower leg was manipulated to get several X-rays. Pain Meds - NOT as there were no pain meds. Oh and the foot did not fit back into the support. Fkna that hurts.
Spent the night while my friends organized a plane flight for me to LA. No surgery here! The next morning two techs came to me to build a shipping cast to support the leg. Tech one grabbed my heel and the top of my leg and pulled and rotated the foot to its expected position. Yes you guessed it correctly! No pain meds!!! Fkna that hurt.
Cast is done, then they cut down the front center so the cast can expand with the swelling. Off to the airport only to discover that if I cannot board the 737 on my own power (I had no crutches) I cannot fly. That was a bunch of steps!! Fkna that hurt. Off to Lima for the next flight.
There I was met with a wheel chair. However the flight did not leave until 1 AM. While sitting at the gate, an American doctor who had been in Antarctica came up and asked what had happened. He also saw my X-rays and asked if he could look at them. After holding them up he asked about pain meds and I informed I had no idea what he talking about. LOL. He looked at me and said – son you’re going to have a long night! A long night it was without any fkn pain meds………..
Two days later I have surgery in LA. Yes there was pain meds for that.
Fkna a true story to boot. LOL
In my experience.Big Bear Community Hospital is the worst. For many years I ended up there here are few shot story experiences.
Cased a huge step up at shell reef back in 2000. Here is a pic.
Shattered my heal broke my tib fib at the top of the ankle box. I stayed in camp for one night and then went to the ER up there after getting home. My ankle was swollen to the point where my skin was beginning to tear. They X-rayed just my ankle joint (not my heal and not my tib fib) then they sent me home with a diagnosis of a sprained ankle. I asked for a copy of the X-rays. When I got home I looked at them and just coming into frame on one side I saw little bone fragments like crumbs. I called the ER back and asked them to look at those crumbs. LoL. They called me right back in.
In 1993 I cased another jump at Glen Helen just after a GP had been held they left a large table in the front (back when the parking was on the left side of the track). I drove home and walked in the ER and told them I broke my back and they all laughed. They neglected me as I awaited an X-ray hoping I would give up and walk out. After several hours someone finally came and wheeled me into X-ray as they winked at each other and cracked jokes in regards to my "broken back" LoL. after the x-rays where done and they were wheeling me back out the office personnel started up again and the x-ray tech was like, 'hey hey shhh". LoL. I had a couple real compression fractures.
Last one in 2004 I cased another jump down at The Star during their summer series. Same leg, broke my tib fib again. This time it was clean at my fib but a splintered spiral fracture of my tib. Drove my F350 and 40ft 5th wheel all the way up the mountain holding my left leg in the air. I called ahead to the hospital telling them to call in the x-ray tech as it was gonna be midnight before I got home. They laughed at me again. I limped into the ER and sat in the admitting chair. When the nurse showed up I told her why I was there and she says all sarcastically, "Wait, you are supposed to have a broken leg?". LoL. Once again the joking started until they wheeled me back out the X-ray room. I was in a cast for 33 weeks for that one.
The total bill was $17,000.
1.) his buddy is not a back surgeon.... he said his buddy DROVE him TO the doctor.. who then did tests.. and gave injection.
2. He never said he fucking ate the fent patches. He said he ate a few of the PAIN PILLS that he filled at the pharmacy...Maybe you should fucking read next time before you post some dumbass ignorant shit
Do you have any idea how much of a fucking ignorant prick / douche bag you are ??? Your entire fucking post as you cry like a little fucking bitch, judging this guy over various things? well you got 100% of it wrong because you are an ignorant fucking douche bag who cant read..... like LITERALLY 100% of what you commented on is COMPLETELY WRONG / FALSE / UNTRUE.
LEARN TO READ RETARD
goddamn it why is it soooooooooo hard for you people to fuckin read ???
He knew I did not like pain meds but he wrote me two scripts and he gave me two boxes of 5 Fentanyl patches and put two on my arm. We got the scripts filled of pain pills and I ate a few.
Pit Row
The stretcher breaking loose and ramming my head into the ambulance when I'd broken my neck and was paralyzed.
Being left in a broom closet in gainsville when broke my leg.
This huge othro clinic closing while i was in a room and being locked in.
Being tackled by a security guard when i was near dying ,out my mind with heat stroke when they thought i was just drunk,came very close to dying that time,right in the damn er.
That's why i try to fix myself in the barn now.
I've done a lot of things,everything i guess but sticking a needle in my arm was one i knew would kill me. A limiter is something never installed,like back in the day when lemmon 714s were around everbody took one or 2,I'd take 5 or 6 .,mushrooms,lol,eat thewhole bag .
Fixin myself in the barn means making a split for my broke arm or pulling the pins out my ankle with pelican nose pliers.
Reading into your post says you know ,,,,,,
I ended up in traction as the leg was too swolen to operate on. By the 6th day I need a serious stiff shit but was in pain each time I moved. The 7th day a nurse pulls in with a massive suppository. ..I know whats coming...she leaves it with me and says she will be back shortly. I panic....Im not having this old crow push a bullet up my zero so I grab the thing, lick it and with great discomfort and pain I succeed at forcing it up my arse. She returns now armed with surgical gloves and lube and is pissed off as she now thinks that I have thrown it away or hiding it from her. So now she returns with a pretty little nurse and another suppository and ignoring my protests I get a second one shoved up my valve.
Many hours later things get worse. Now I need a massive crap. They bring me a bed pan...I work in centimetres but I think the thing is just over 4 inches deep. Sitting in bed with a broken femur in traction and trying to slide a bed pan under your arse is no easy feat. Eventually I settle down....and now im laying this monumental cable but.....things take another turn for the worse. The stiff ol turd has bottomed out in the bed pan and im still try to push the rest out...its too fat to pinch...im hanging with one arm through my monkey chain...my other hand on the bed frame trying to lift myself higher to get more clearance...I failed and had to call the old crow again for assistance. I will not elaborate on what happened next but let me tell you all this...im very afraid of breaking a femur again.
It doesnt end there....they were giving me pethadine shots for pain...they were awesome and made me feel good. One night the old crow was late with my shot and I made a big fuss over it. I was informed that clockwatching for pain meds is the first sign of addiction so they stopped with the shots and instead gave me codis cocktails to drink.
I was 19 when that happened and raced for another 11 years with a good few broken shoulders / collarbones and knee injuries. Im 44 yrs old now and have been battling a codine addiction for the past 7 years. My body is constantly sore all over.
2. Urine drug screens take time to come back and are in no way sensitive to detect both the synthetic and non-synthetic opiates (for example mine doesn't come back for hydrocodone, oxycodone, etc).
3. I see drug-seeking behavior daily in the emergency department.
4. I get yelled at daily for not prescribing opiates, often followed by something to the extent of "fuck you man, I'll buy heroin then." which never wins the argument.
5. Fentanyl patches carry an FDA indication for chronic pain, not acute pain, and thus shouldn't have been prescribed in my opinion.
From the FDA: "The fentanyl transdermal system (patch) is used for the management of persistent, moderate to severe chronic pain in opioid-tolerant patients when a continuous, around-the-clock opioid analgesic is needed for an extended period of time."

The patients who threaten me or threaten to buy drugs on the street further illustrate that they are going to be abusing these medications and I have no interest or obligation to fill a controlled substance for them. Quiet honestly, we can detect this behavior from outside the door, and when time permits, I'll often search the patient on our state-wide prescription reporting data base (all controlled substances that are filled are reported here including #tabs, type of med, location filled, and provider who wrote the scripts). IMO the patients who make these threats are dependent on opiates, often with well documented drug-seeking behavior, and no physician should write them an opiate prescription unless they have objective data to back up the patients claim.
Opiates are a problem. They are a problem in the ED, primary care setting, and on the streets. Multiple agencies have made it their mission to cut down on the prescribing habits of physicians, especially in chronic pain situations, which often lead to dependency and subsequent abuse.
ACEP, the major organizing body for emergency providers, has made it their major campaign in recent years (http://www.acep.org/workarea/DownloadAsset.aspx?id=88197).
