The number of feral chickens around my friends’ place in Kailua Kona is ..... impressive.

They ate all the damn mice though, that’s a fair trade in my book:)

Chickens eat pests, and in the process are little rototillers while also providing their poo as fertilizer. Early agriculture?

Gone With the Wind meets MASH

totally agree — not to mention that some opiates cause weird dreams/hallucinations so its possible she truly BELIEVES this happened. just really really not buying it.

Ah yes! I forgot! The last time I had morphine I pressed the button a bit too much which gave me breathing issues. Still didn’t incapacitate me though. Could she have had something other than morphine? Or if she did have morphine, perhaps she had hallucinations from it?

I concur. There is no way in a busy ER shift you have time to ejaculate on faces. Much less steal some medicine, move a bed, masturbate.....and write the procedure note. I'll wait to see how the story pans out but I am highly skeptical.

Yep. And that hospital is fully electronic. He couldn’t slip someone ringers without a trail a mile long.

That’s been my experience as a patient — morphine and demerol always being administered by I.V., not by injection — but perhaps she didn’t have an I.V. in yet?

I’m a ER doc. First - the RN gives the med, not the MD. MD writes the order, RN gives it. So no, he couldn’t have ‘slipped’ her something else. Second, I have given one hell of a lot of morphine in my day, and never gotten someone incapacitated to the point that she seems to be describing (not without causing severe…

Every ED I’ve worked at had cameras to observe the patient, so it seems weird that no one would have noticed the doctor standing over her jacking off on the cctv feed. There’s some weird details about this story that definitely make me pause.

I smell major bullshit here, and this is coming from someone who doesn’t particularly care for physicians. First off, with the exception of specific cases, if you were incapacitated by morphine, something went wrong in the dosing. Putting aside that no one would jerk off on a patient’s face because hello messy…

I am an RN. I have a hard time believing morphine would incapacitate someone as described in this article. I will give the caveat that my experience is anecdotal and not evidence based, and that not everyone reacts the same way to all medication.

Any doctors here? Because I’ve had plenty of morphine shots in my life and I’ve never been fully incapacitated by any... I would think one would lose consciousness before that could happen on morphine, in which case you wouldn’t know or remember what happened.

You can do it! My brother and sister-in-law quit their jobs at the age of 40, sold the house, took the kids and moved to Britain so they could both become archaeologists. Both now have degrees (my brother’s almost done with his PhD; she has a BA) from University College London and my sister-in-law is now working on…

Every time I read about this I am simultaneously excited and sad that I'm not over there working my dream job. :( Oh, I wonder who gets to do the botany.

To think that modern medicine is such a magnificent gift in the face of this disease and Charlie Sheen is there to just say “eh fuck that” is MYSTIFYING

Who the FUCK is telling Americans that Mexican quaks are great, when not even us Mexicans would actually go with these people! I really want to know who is telling these epic urban legends about amazing non-certified cheap plastic surgeons and alternative treatments against cancer and HIV, because we sure as fuck…

Agreed.
