If your friend wants to treat himself like a human guinea pig, good for him, but it's people like him that cause all drug users to viewed by society and many in the medical profession as a bunch of careless, irresponsible idiots.
a few points
a) my friend was polite and respectful at all times. No aggression whatsoever
b) B]didn't know [/B]it was a RC ... consequently he treated it a bit like meth and dosed accordingly. Yes he was foolish not to listen to me but that is the nature of relationships and complexities of something called circumstances.
c) To find the ER of two major hospitals, and GPs, drug and rehab centres, basically the medical establishment across a quarter of Sydney did not CARE to even bother looking any further is astounding. They literally shrugged their shoulders when they found out benzo's did nothing.
Yes Desoxypipradrol is not well known but pipradrol and its cohorts aren't exactly rare. What happens when people have overdosed on those drugs?
I only found recently but its hepatic. What about an inhibitor to stop your the liver from metabolising the desoxypipradrol?
Fuck me, these people go to medical school for 6+ years, have mountains of resources behind them and still the problem was not a lack of knowledge but a inability to engage, to investigate, to care.
If he had lied and said that his drink had been spiked, or that it was a complete accident then would that have changed the level of care? If it had I'd been astounded.
The fact of the matter it was a charity organisation, not the government taxpayer funded establishments, that cared more to actually engage them.
d) and my my final point. If your a doctor or nurse and you have absolute contempt for people who have hurt themselves, well fuck you and fuck the horse you rode in on.
I argue with people all day long and yet I always give them the time of day. I never fuck off idiots who have no idea what they're doing, and hell my job doesn't involve life or death decision.
My point; the day i can't be half-assed because i have contempt for "idiots" then I will leave.
Fuck i hate Sydney hospitals, especially the nursing staff. That said i'll leave that to another thread.
