I recently had injected a speedball on a college campus, and the resulting paranoia from it caused me to think cops were chasing me, which in turn resulted in cops chasing me. After i was subdued, I was brought to the er.
In the er, I was obviously treated as a junkie and was getting tired of it. I have a need to show off my knowledge in situations where someone else attempts to make me feel inferior. So, for the acute cocaine intoxication, the dr, who was doing rounds with residents, asked the group "what is the treatment?" And the group responded "benzos benzos benzos!", at which point I stated, I guess that's easier to say 3 times fast then "gamma amino butyric acid receptor subtype A positive allosteric modulators! That's a tongue twister!", which received a couple laughs, and a couple incredulous looks.
I needed to be admitted to the cardiac care ward for 5 days, and after I beat a pretty mild opiate withdrawal, I was up cracking jokes. It was a cardiac thoracic ward, and I was in a respiratory bed. After seeing a couple of the nurses, I told them "you should change your motto to respiratory care, we'll take your breath away". Smiles all around. My goal was to break the junkie stereotype by the time I left.
I met with a cardiologist who told me I needed to stay clean. I said the most success I've had was with bupe. He asked the dr next to him if it was an analogue of methadone. Before the other dr could respond, I said "not really, it's a partial agonist antagonist at the mu receptor site, and a full agonist at delta, with antagonistic properties at kappa." The dr laughed and said, look you obviously know more about it than me.
Point being, by the end I had nurses stopping by to chat and wish me well, give me suggestions on staying clean, and generally well wishing. I'd say my goal was reached.
Tldr: anyone have any funny stories about hospital visits they wanna share?
