this may be in the wrong forum ***unsure***

I had to get an EKG to keep my Adderall RX going. Today my psychatrist told me that at one point I had an "anterior infarction". According to the EKG part of my heart died because of lack of blood flow. I did not seek or receive any medical attention for this. I had a feeling that some kind of damage to my heart occurred because things felt weird and different and there were a few times with the speed where it got pretty intense but I didn't go to the ER or see a doctor or do anything about it.

This just proves my theory that, at least for me, if I can say the word "hospital" I don't need to be there and the best place to tough it out is on my own bathroom floor. I had a heart attack and was so high I didn't even notice and recovered just fine. What costs most people $50,000 in medical bills cost me nothing.

Or maybe they just did the EKG wrong and I am totally full of shit.

Want this engraved on your tombstone?

Seriously, I'll pay to have it done...if only for the inappropriate lulz.

If I had more money than I knew what to do with, seriously, I would want to put up inappropriate tombstones in cemeteries.

Yeah I am totally going to scan that EKG and post it in my blog. I am going to do that right now actually.
 
...he did take a trip to the hospital. Maybe OP is just confused about the purpose of this forum.

So, you're happy with the decision you made? You've caused permanent damage to your heart. You will die younger because of it. Sorry to sound brute here, but I'd like to send a warning to others about going to hospitals. If you are ever that gone and don't know whats happening, please make the right decision and call 911 or whatever # depending on your country.

The way the OP acts in regard to personal health is sad, and I feel for ya Angelabcess. Neither an abcess's nor heart attacks are things to really be proud of saving money on. You only get one you love.

It's not about the fifty thousand.
 
the lounge? really? it seems like if anything it would go in one of the health forums. I obvi dunno my forums good like y'all do.

People underestimate the strength of women's bodies. The fact that I could have a heart attack and recover with no "official" medical care being delivered, my credit not being ruined because of hospital bills (I live in the U.S. - going to the hospital is never an option for me financially - that says something about this country's health care more than it does about my own personal death drive) , my life not being interrupted, I think that says something about what women's bodies are ACTUALLY capable of vs. what culturally we are supposed to believe that they are capable of, which is basically that women's bodies can't do or withstand shit unless there is some fucking MD with a clipboard calling the shots. This experience proves that this is not the case.

I wish that people would stop glorifying hospitals and people with MDs as being the only ones who are capable for delivering quality health care. Usually they don't do shit for you.

Yes, my body is somewhat aged and damaged. I am not a newborn. Aging, decay, and entropy are what happens. Have I accelerated this process, trading quality of life for quantity of life, to a certain extent? Most likely. Am I ok with that? Usually.

I am not bragging about how big of hits I can do or how I slam the shit. I am not even sure if the heart attack was related to chemicals that I take recreationally or habitually. Perhaps I would have had a heart attack anyway. Who knows.
 
Your logic is so stupid I almost cant believe a mentally capable person wrote this. This doesnt prove that womens bodies are strong(not saying their not)all it proves is people have minor heart attacks and dont notice(however you did and just chose to do nothing). Who glorifies hospitals anyways? Without them we would all be in a fair amount of trouble.
 
Your implementation of rationalization and justification concern me; you are employing them in full swing in an attempt to convince yourself that everything you are doing is still OK; that you don't have a problem; that your lifestyle at present isn't dangerous. Unfortunately for you, these tactics seem to be working and you appear to be convinced that you do not need to change anything in your life.

I hope you realize that you can make a change before it is too late. What happened to you should serve as a wake up call. The fact that it doesn't appear to be having this affect on you is disconcerting.

no shit its not about the 50,000.

I'm not on here bragging about how I shoot the shit or how much I can do. I am just saying that doctors are overrated. I don't do dope so that I can get attention from nurses and doctors and social workers and the cool kids, I do it so I can go into my own world and stay there. I'm not going to no fucking hospital. And guess what - the worst possible thing almost - a heart attack - happened, and guess what - I am still here, eating cereal and drinking milk and coffee and posting and pissing people off. I didn't need no doctor or no nurse to hook me the fuck up to some dumb ass machine and give me a bunch of weird drugs to manage my heart attack - I handled it and here I am.

I'm not saying everyone should take their health into their own hands like that. It's not for everyone. All I am saying is that this is what I did, and it worked out ok for me.

If I am with people who think I need to go to the ER and I am too messed up to stop them, then that is where I will go. Otherwise I will die on my own fucking floor or I will live. I am prepared to accept that and nobody is going to change my mind.

I can think of ZERO examples in my own life where the hospital has helped me.
There was one time that a paramedic saved my friend's life during a speedball OD, but had my other friends and I had the right knowledge (CPR is not that hard) and basic medical equipment and chemicals, we could have easily saved her life without the paramedics. It's not that the paramedics were geniuses its that the dopeheads weren't on the ball. That was our mistake.

If you want to learn something, search for "Psalm and Zoya" on Youtube. Watch this lady deliver her own twins, one of them breech, by herself in her fucking bathroom and tell me that we need hospitals.

We need fucking education and medical supplies, not hospitals.

You're logic is seriously skewed. The education is available to anyone who wants to go get it. You obviously didn't/don't want it bad enough
