“I’ve had so many patients tell me they have no medical problems, but then their medication list is pages long and they tell me that those medicines cure them of their diabetes, high blood pressure, etc so they don’t have it. I once had a guy scream at me that I needed to give him morphine because he has a “constitutional right to not be in pain”. I’ve had a 36-ish week pregnant woman who used meth the entire pregnancy hit me in the head with a thrown object because her free turkey sandwich didn’t come with the mayo already on the sandwich. I’ve had a guy stabbed straight in the neck come walking in saying he got stabbed then being shocked when I told him I had to act fast or he could die and to please get off his phone with his homies. “I COULD DIE?? HOW?” My brother, you were stabbed in the NECK and you’re covered in blood.”
“Oh, and so many people who use meth, fentanyl, any number of street drugs, but I ask if they’re vaccinated against COVID as part of their screening process, and they go “EW NO I don’t know what’s in that vaccine, I’m not putting it in my body.”” — Halefire
