Not sure how bad he beat that old lady but thats fucked up for sure. Good luck to him.
I work in the ER we see drug addiction everyday.
I feel sorry for the families of these addicts. They certainly dont deserve to be put through the shit.
.......in my mind.
I can more than understand how someone with real pain could get hooked. Doesn't completely excuse it, but it does add perspective for how good people sometimes end up in bad situations.
Cut my dosage down as much as I could, like in another recent thread where a few good dudes weighed in, moderate your own intake and don't trust what's been written down for you, only take as much as you actually need to for it to do its job, not as much as they tell you to.
Also I never beat up on some old lady, or any lady, but that's none of my business.
As for this troll, give it a rest man, if a chick does something 'to deserve it' then just man up and walk away from the situation, if you get dragged into it that's on you.
Not surprised some become addicts from that. But all the addicts I've ever known are by their own choice when they choose to pop pills for recreation and then couldn't stop.
But, unfortunately, I know many who have become hopelessly addicted on less than I was prescribed. Several didn't live through it. It's just very sad.
Pit Row
Someone should help him out and give him a job, he had his shot at being a racer.
baby mommas, "friends", sometimes family
just a FYI..they're targeting your population with this stuff on purpose, boy.
The theory is (and it works) to keep them from reaching that 10 on the pain scale. If they reach a 10 they are usually in a lot of pain and not not very happy. It will then take them awhile to get it under control vs just trying to keep them with something on board every few hours. Its much easier to maintain and keep the pt comfortable. Those intervals should get longer as the time goes on but the patients have to be realistic and not bs.
That was theory, the real world is most patients beg for the shit or their family members will beg for them. They want all they can get and then some.
The pain scale is 1-10. 1 being little pain 10 the worst imaginable. The scale should be 7-10 because no one is ever 1-6 they always dying and too stupid to be honest. Hard to control a pain when no one has pain under 7. Pain meds are usually ordered per pain scale. So, mild narcotic/iv nsaid for 1-3, 4-7 iv. Morphine/percocet 8-10 (severe pain) iv dilaudud/fentynl. So as you can see its hard to do it correct when they are sleeping and you wake them up and ask "hows your pain'" . Its a 10. You dont sleep with a 10 bro.
This became a problem with the push to make pain the 5th vital sign. Hospitals are reimbursed on pt satisfaction scores now. What you think the biggest complaint is? Yeah, my pain wasn't controlled.
Just so this is taking out of context this was just an example. A lot more goes into this than my little example. We are told to ask about patients pain constantly because whiney ass people keep saying theirs is bad. The rest of the world ain't like us moto guys. We know how to crash hard and walk it off. Too bad we are such a small precentage of the population. The world is full of whiney ass p*ssies! Its not the staff pushing because we want to feed you narcs. We are forced to do it.
Rant over.
Unfortunately I lost two people very close to me that I never would have thought would have been over come by this shit. One was a super talented baseball player and the most confident, headstrong person I knew, the other was a fireman.
I Had a shoulder surgery a while back and I was determined to go post surgery without pain killers. Those things scare the shit out of me. I was able to do Ibuprofen and ice.
On a side note, I’d recommend watching a show I saw on Hulu called Dopesick. It blew me away as to how OxyContin was marketed and pushed onto the medical system. Even if part of the series was true…..
My childhood fireman buddy had two surgeries back to back with a torn labrum. Got hooked on pain killers through the process and even went to rehab because he knew he had a problem. Unfortunately in the end he fell off the wagon and his choice killed him.
It is always imperative to understand the stress your body is under and how it handles things.
I also think his return to the sport in 2010-2012 was hampered by the funky/underdeveloped Yamahas of the time.
If suzuki would have kept him on the program another year or two I think everything would have unfolded differently. But suzuki / GM basically went bankrupt anyway. Not sure how they even had the money for Dungey through 2011
