Im fine. Rio I am sure is still frazzled as most of us would be and is just venting. I thought I explained the procedure in brief enough detail that SQ's meaning wasnt relevant other than it was something different than IV. I thought his buddy was dying and even spelling out subcutaneously meant seconds I had no idea if the guy had.
To Rio, Im sorry man. I am a pharmacist and sometimes tend to forget others dont have the knowledge of what I consider second nature but I really was only trying to help and quickly. I did reply in another thread but you had a bunch and didnt think it matter which one I posted in. I literally was responding in between handling stuff at work after I first saw your post as I was glancing at BL on a bathroom break.
But go deal with your friend and hopefully not the police. Now isnt the time to discuss the merits of emergency harm reduction when some serious shit just went down. We will be here tomorrow, go console/help/check on your mate. Im sure a friendly face will be good for him.
I overreacted. I'm sorry. I thought you didn't reply to my follow-up question because you'd taken offence at my tone, so despite having all the knowledge you thought you'd purposely withhold it and let my friend die to teach me a lesson. I was perhaps too hasty to cast judgement, after all, you did try to help, which is much more than the vast majority of people did, and I really do appreciate that, a lot. I hope you accept my apology. Since you're a pharmacist, maybe you can shed some light on something for me, if you don't mind?
I'm getting a ride to the hospital with his sister in an hour or so, haven't got the cash for a taxi and buses aren't running yet so I stayed back to get rid of the drugs in case the police come, but my friend is telling me that Dave has yet to be seen by a doctor, and he's a little worried that with the naloxone that we gave him plus what they gave him in the ambulance something has gone wrong. Apparently Dave keeps going through this weird cycle where he starts getting REALLY agitated and trying to get up and get out, saying that he's really really sick, and my friend says that he "looks fucked" and that hes "ratting like a motherfucker", but then he'll suddenly start nodding and pass out again, at which point my friend alerts the nurse who shoots him up with naloxone again. What's going on here? I know you've already helped me out tonight and I didn't give you the nicest reaction, for which I am truly sorry, but I hope you can find it in you to shed some light on wtf is happening here, cos its a little worrying/confusing.
Hey you did a good thing trying to help out. That guy has a lot of fucking nerve to insult you for helping out. He wants to sound so intelligent and sophisticated then he should be smart enough to learn about the injecting procedures for nalxone before they fuck around with H. I am sure he is stressed out or whatever but that was bullshit to insult and judge someone that was offering assistance. Anyways I hope that shit doesn't bother you and keep on the way you are.
Hey man, fuck you. If you have something to say you could at least address it to me rather than just talking about me like a fucking coward. How the fuck did I "try to sound intelligent and sophisticated"!? My thread was a rushed, frantic, panicked mess, it had a bunch of typos and was written entirely in caps. I was losing my fucking shit, the furthest thing from my mind was trying to sound sophisticated I also addressed this in another thread after the fact:
One of my mistakes was not elaborating on this in the OP posts of the threads, but as I'm sure was apparent I was very frantic and rushed and just wanted to post them as fast as possible. That post, like this one, was made using a tablet using an unsecured wi-fi that we "borrow" from a primary school opposite our flat. It has the advantage of being fast, a surprisingly strong signal that we can connect to 24/7 outside of school holidays (its even available at weekends and evenings! we are very lucky that their IT guy is a bit of a moron) and of course, free, but unfortunately it means we have to abide by an internet filter. Bizarrely, this forum isn't caught by it, but 420chan (and indeed all of the chans) are (also bizarrely it catches most porn sites but not assoass.com or xnxx.com, I have no idea why) but any google search with the words "Inject", "naloxone" or "needle" were getting caught. Didn't really have time to figure out how to bypass the filter, so I posted here instead, thinking it was the next best thing
It's also incredible how you didn't think to try and help when somebody was literally dying in front of me, but you were here to console another stranger for a mild verbal reprimand. Also good job on the reading comprehension, if you'd even bothered to read the fucking 2 lines I posted in the OP you'd know that I'm not familiar with IV procedures, because I don't even do heroin anymore at all, let alone inject it. I'll try and make sure I'm being lovely and mild-mannered next time my friend has nearly died in my fucking arms you prick.
