I really, really, really HATE 'moving'.
Really...
A lot...
Immensely...
But "that which fails to kill me only serves to make me stronger"...

I always thought it would be cool to have one with piranha or large snapping turtles, and sell white mice to the kiddies for 50 cents. Probably the parents would get upset though...3leggedturtle wrote:Do you plan on putting an aquarium in it?
'Chronic pain' is all fake, made-up by malingering patients who are drug-addicts. Even patients with multiple sclerosis don't have real pain, according to numerous 'pain specialists' I've talked to. Unless the radiologist who reads your spine MRI says "Oh my gosh, I've never seen anything so bad - was this patient even alive...???" then your pain should be controlled by something SAFE like a bunch of steroids, tons of nonsteroidal antinflammatory medications (if they kill your kidneys, you can just go on dialysis), antiepileptic medications that make you fall asleep while driving, non-narcotic meds that make you hallucinate (...you see, hallucination is only 'bad' if you want it to happen...), and days and days of missed-work so you can get repeated nerve-blocks.Griff wrote:Life is not boring!

I have kept alot of snappers from the size of quarters till they get about the size of your hand. Watching them stalk and eat/tear up minnows is amzing, Perch are a great fish to keep and feed guppies to also.AJMD429 wrote:I always thought it would be cool to have one with piranha or large snapping turtles, and sell white mice to the kiddies for 50 cents.

The only alternative to all those safe, inexpensive, and convenient things is the HORRIBLE alternative of taking a few hydrocodone every day. Thank God ('er I mean, Government; I keep getting them confused), we now have politicians who stand as moral and medical experts, to make us stupid doctors (and pharmacist-doctors, like me) realize that all pain patients are drug abusers, and should be treated like drug abusers. You see, if we prescribe fewer pain medications, then there will be fewer heroin overdoses. Makes sense, right...???
I gotta go; time to go to a seminar on "How Global Warming led to Record-breaking Cold Weather"...

Hey, I sorta resemble that! I've even got a spinal MRI to show ( actual film ) and I still can't get any pain relief meds. Drs here are scared to death to prescribe even Tramadol. Old age, heart defects, high blood pressure ... that ain't gonna kill me ... nope, the pain is.AJMD429 wrote:'Chronic pain' is all fake, made-up by malingering patients who are drug-addicts.

What we will and do have Doc is more criminal association by people looking for pain meds, which creates a larger criminal element, which in turn requires more LE to combat it. The social and legal costs of drug related problems would be exponentially less if we legalized all of it, and treated those with addiction problems. It's like Prohibition taught us nothing. It's funny, my Canadian friends tell me you can still by Tylenol with Codeine in the aspirin isle at the supermarket, and apparently there's no huge Tylenol problem. The war on drugs is one of the worst policies we've ever engaged in and it created and funded several layers of para military LE and government agencies while creating an entire unstoppable illegal drug industry. This is the unintended consequence of blindly legislating morality.AJMD429 wrote: You see, if we prescribe fewer pain medications, then there will be fewer heroin overdoses. Makes sense, right...???
