"No kidding! We don't even give it anymore in the ER because people were coming in asking for it, straight up!"
That's funny. You have to wonder where these people come from.
I've experienced a good many opiates, but none ever had anywhere near the effect of Demerol. I can't even say it felt good--I don't remember; it was complete oblivion.
"Substance abuse among health care professionals is serious and quite scary. It's a really stressful job to take care of others all the time, but using strong drugs at worse is really scary."
I keep wondering how they could get away with it for any length of time. AFAIK, CII stuff has to be ridigly accounted for, and you think they'd install cameras in drug storerooms.
