You think Barack and the libs in Congress would ever get this kind of treatment? They get special care. You think they wouldn’t shut down people who gave their dogs this kind of care?

Yet they want all of us to have this kind of care. and they want to play God and decide who lives and dies based on age and their ‘worth’ to society.

Time to take out the trash in DC.

There are other non-narcotic pain medicines that can be given to patients.

They asked me outside and asked me if I was causing a problem.

I told them that the staff were the ones causing a problem, explained the situation to them, and they gave the staff a tongue lashing for calling the police.

You have to realize, this was in a small town of about 400 people.
The police there are not fools and are usually normal folks.

Also, my Grandfather had lived in this town for better than 40 years, was an avid supporter of the police and volunteer fire dept, and was well liked by, almost, the entire community.

What are they? Are they effective? Is this a relatively new development? I'm not challenging you, just trying to learn something.

I know ibuprofen can be fairly effective if given in large doses (I believe 1600 mg is the maximum prescription dose), but it can be somewhat hard on the kidneys, if I'm not mistaken. Acetaminophen is fairly effective, but can't be given in large doses like ibuprofen because of the toxic effects on the liver.

They're worried more about how cows are treated at the slaughter house than the medical treatment given human beings.

as we speak, my wife is in the hospital - she was very nearly gone friday when her heart stopped. fortunately she was already in the hospital when this ocurred, and they were able to save her after a horrifying weekend. She’s onthe mend now, thanks in part to her superior insurance, which she made provision for, and prioritized all her life. if some beauracrat had to second guess her doctor, and the excellent team who did the actual saving,she wouldn’t be here today.
