There is not much info on Rize that I have found, but didn't dig ever deep in the net. Not even sure if you can get it in the states. <BR/><BR/>Ris.Chrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02692044764518921519[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37623912.post-32397426830583590202007-09-14T14:41:00.000-04:002007-09-14T14:41:00.000-04:00Great story, milkshake. The Tylenol treatment bit is a fearful thing indeed. Kiss your liver goodbye, buddy. <BR/><BR/>The whole rectal foreign bodies thing always makes me think of that Appalachian Emergency Room <A HREF="http://snl.jt.org/skit.php?i=9" REL="nofollow">sketch</A> on SNL in which Chris Parnell's character always comes in with something up his butt and comes up with a wildly implausible explanation for how it got there.Chrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05349466286549537039[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37623912.post-67563040351365116262007-09-10T11:24:00.000-04:002007-09-10T11:24:00.000-04:00ER experience: My friend with 10+ years of experience in surgery came to US so he had to repeat the residency in US. He spent 3 years in ER in a public hospital in a poor area in Phoenix, AZ: Lots of homeless patients with the intoxication related-emergencies and lots of gunshot victims. He said that some of the fresh medical residents working there were quite scary - they remembered just one thing from classes and they were going to do it on the patient no matter what. For example, giving two Tylenols to a guy who looked like a textbook advanced cirrhosis case and who came in with the abdominal pain and jaundice...<BR/><BR/>My friend also said that the rectal foreign bodies were very common, at least one case a week, and it was all kind of bizzare stuff - and even the patients with the most rediculous objects up there in the wazoo were never straightforward about what they did - always shyly explained "an accident" happened to them: Like a guy who walked in with a bottle of conditioner in hand and said he slipped and fell in the shower and the entire bottle of shampoo got vedged up in there and disappeared into his anus. So my friend asked the patient about the conditioner bottle and the patient said thoughtfully: "This is for you, doc - to see how the shampoo bottle looked like."milkshakehttp://orgprepdaily.wordpress.com[email protected]
