I Saw That.

[trailerparkmedic]

Had an overly dramatic, just barely legal patient today. She came in high and we unintentionally made it worse by giving her some Ativan. By the time I got her, she was belligerent at best.

I was giving Ms. Drama medicine through her IV when she started ooohhhing and crying about how much it hurt. IVs can go bad, so I started poking it and pushing a little more water through it to see if it had gone bad. Owwwwwww! goes Ms. Drama. She starts reaching towards my pocket. I just need to hold on to something!! cries Ms. Drama.

You're out of luck, because I don't have any narcs in that pocket. Now quit holding my phone and give it back to me. No crying. That's mine, not yours.

I wasn't too disappointed when there was a change in condition that necessitated a change in beds for Ms. Drama to a different part of the ER.

Sorry you had one of the wild ones.

Of course, a particularly evil health care provider would have some Narcan or similar stashed in a pocket for just such an eventuality, and "conveniently" not notice that it had been stolen.

Nah, have some Obecalp in there.

That's some pretty bad stuff - do you know how many hypochondriacs have ODed on it?

Maybe she watches House and thinks that real life is like that. House always has Vicodin in his pockets
