I didn’t even know you could combine those medicines.

In the worst experience of my life, I wound up in ICU for a week with a collapsed lung and many many life threatening injuries. Part of the reason I got a medical exemption for wearing a mask is the after-effects of that experience. At one point, I was given Haldol by an overzealous nurse sick of trying to keep a mask on a delirious patient. That moment in time is the absolute worst moment of my life and a primary reason I don’t drink or do drugs. I could not remember who I was, where I was, or why I was. I was simply floating in a prison, unable to move but very aware about what was being done to me. Oof, I still shiver thinking about that.

A bend in the leg in the wrong place. On PCP it's possible to still walk

I saw one guy hobble into an ER on what was left of his leg after he somehow lost his foot. Unfortunately he had "walked" across some open ground and had grass and mud jammed into his broken off tibia. Had to take it off at the knee. He was upset about loosing his foot. Don't know what he was on but it worked really well for pain.

Buddy of mine once had a guy jump off a second floor roof and run away. He was on PCP. He got caught an hour later, turns out he had multiple compound fractures in both legs. PCP is bad stuff.

Nurses worry more about keeping you safe than your crybaby feelings. At least you're still alive to shit-talk the nurse, you ungrateful fuck. God forbid the nurse's other patients needed help while they were stuck dealing with you.

I’m sorry if that came off as ungrateful. I appreciate everything they all did, and they saved my life. The Haldol was a bit hard to handle but I’m grateful I’m alive. So have a nice night.

After 18 years in healthcare I've only come across one person that thought the actions of patients that were totally unaware of their surroundings were directed at them personally.

EqualityMeansAll -6 points ago +3 / -9

In my over 20 years in health care I've seen so many patients blame staff for everything. It's tiresome and thankless.

Some people think a hospital is run by the cast of House MD where everybody drops everything to cater to them personally and investigate their homes to determine what's wrong, and run the imaging machines themselves. Too many people act like the slightest inconvenience is the biggest sin and an a personal affront directed against them by the staff.

I've been prescribed codeine at the same time I was taking mirtazapine to manage insomnia.

Did you know that they have a high interaction rating? Because my doctor certainly fucking didn't. Fast forward three days and I genuinely believed I was psychic because I was unable to connect my memories to my knowledge. I knew things but had no idea how I knew them.

The high and mighty, "Staff is never at fault," line is total bullshit. Everyone makes mistakes, sometimes, the patient is right to blame staff.

We don't expect House MD, but we don't expect Nick Riviera either, and sometimes that's what we get.

Seriously though, i am anticipating the articles about social workers killed by mentally ill people. I dont think the police need to be defunded, but if they want to allocate ADDITIONAL funding to let social workers ride along, I can get behind that.

AGuyFromAus 21 points ago +21 / -0

It depends on the social workers.

I don't know about the US, but in Australia most social workers fall in to two categeories:

  1. Well meaning, trying hard, and (basically) pushing shit uphill trying to work within the system

  2. Incompetent, self-absorbed, vindictive and uses the system to fuck people around for amusement.

There are a LOT more of type 2, by my experience.

CousinEddie 15 points ago +15 / -0

In the US they’re people who’s personal lives are in absolute shambles, they make very low wages, and they usually have at least one substance abuse problem.

They are barely better than their “clients”

The real world sucks. We need to bring back mental asylums and not the creepy, gulag style ones. Just modern, clean asylums with guards and a safe environment for social workers. Sending social workers into unsecured (i.e. real world) environments is not going to work. At all.

It already happens and it will only get worse.

A friend of mine works in a regular out-patient hospital. Nothing special, and certainly not a mental health facility. A couple weeks ago, a mentally ill teenager was dropped off and abandoned there by his family. While they were trying to arrange a transfer to the proper hospital, the kid went AWOL and started choking out security guards, one of which shot him in a panic. Now the hospital is getting sued because their guards weren't well enough trained to deal with these sort of situations.

Bottom line: it takes an enormous amount of training, experience, patience and manpower to deal with mentally deranged people. Good luck social workers, you're gonna need it.

It may sound cruel but the alternative is an overpopulation of social workers causing many of them to starve. Controlled culling of the herd is the most humane way to manage their population.

I don't know if there will be articles, it would be par for the course if the media refuses to mention the result of this brilliant plan. Maybe spin it as a lower rate of arrests, and act like that means there's magically less crime instead of the Shit-Giant Samurai terrorizing the neighborhood unimpeded.

This is why trained social workers need to carry tasers and pistols, in case things get violent. Now I know what you're thinking, that sounds like a cop.

But you're wrong.

Police have degrees in criminal justice, social workers are marxists with degrees in intersectionality.

We could teach them to restrain people using various holds. We could also train them to bring down the out of control subject, read Miranda rights and arrest those who are a threat to themselves and to others. There’s a word for this type of person but I just can’t put my finger on it...

NotRealDemSocialism 2 points ago +2 / -0

I just don't see how you can expect to ask a social worker to risk their lives like that day in and day out without giving them body armor and assault rifles because you know a few of those crazies are going to be armed and I don't like the idea of our brave de-escalators going into a fair fight if it comes to that.

Are they REALLY going to get up at 1 am and park their car in the dark in a strange part of town, not allowed to carry protection except a crisis deescalation binder? Only to walk into a home with a man twice their size beating his spouse?

Not sure about this one, but I remember hearing about a naked man well over 6 ft tall who killed a police officer. Found it: https://i.imgur.com/y7bjQkX.jpg

The murderer Ronald Matthews https://i.imgur.com/y7bjQkX.jpg had been arrested and convicted earlier for something similar.

"Running nearly naked, he ignored pepper spray and the electric shock of a Taser gun and was only subdued when six officers swarmed over him. That was last September, when a man named Ronald Keith Matthews Sr., 44, was involved in a confrontation with Bellevue police officers. Investigators believe he is the same man who shot and killed King County sheriff's deputy Richard Herzog Saturday. "We are very angry that this person served six months for assaulting multiple police officers," Bellevue police spokeswoman Marcia Harnden said yesterday. "If there had been a more serious, longer sentence, perhaps the deputy would be alive today." http://archive.is/dDI9h

Our rotating door judicial/prison system needs to be fixed.

Better call the Minneapolis Committee for Hopes and Feelings to come deal with this poor, misguided person. I’m sure that 20 purple haired fruits will gain control of the situation by asking the man how systemic racism did or did not affect his life, how growing up poor irrevocably made it so that he had no other recourse BUT to start doing drugs and how talking about his feelings will diffuse the situation.

Losers_Arent_Winners 2 points ago +2 / -0

This was my conversation with a CHOP protestor

Should the new social workers respond to cases that could quickly escalate into violence i.e. child abuse, spousal abuse, petty theft, etc.

"Yes."

Should they also have a gun then for their safety and if needed to protect the victim?

"No. Every social worker should be accompanied by 1 armed police officer for that."

They basically want social workers to sit around in police departments for calls, be taxied to them by police, and if they flip out or handle the situation poorly it's the cops duty to use violence at the social workers direction to protect not only the victim but also now the social worker. They act like social workers don't get corrupted by power because of the name or something
