I think you were given OxyCONTIN (a pain reliever) — OxyTOCIN is the hormone they give pregnant women to induce labor...
I would think that selling that spray over the counter would be pretty dangerous...
Yes, you are correct about Oxycontin, and oxycodone being the same... HOWEVER, this article discusses the hormone OxyTOCIN - a naturally occurring hormone released by the body. Oxytocin is the chemical they use to induce labor.
I should really learn to read the rest of the thread before correcting someone.. Didn’t mean to chance making you feel ganged up on! Sorry! :)
I remember a few years ago an Anesthesiologist’s ‘cart’ got broken into and raided at the hospital where I was working. All of the ‘Oxytocin’ was stolen. This thread has made me feel like the morons that did that. lol
No, no, that was Oxydol. ;-)
I believe the literal translation for Hai Karate would be “Yes Empty-Hand”. Off topic, yes, but amusing (I thought).
But in the times I gave birth, babies were kept in the nursery until feeding time and your stay in the hospital was 5 days.....the cost of my first child and my hospitalization, (before they called it health care) was 150.00. BC/BS paid it all and we had to pay 4 dollars for the TV. I still have the 50 year old bill....circa 1959
I might be confusing oxytocin with pitocin for induced labor or they may be the same thing under different names...sorry if I am in error...never mind
