That's a great way to get zero pain killers for the rest of the trip.

Waking up during surgery be damned, I will never admit to smoking pot to another doctor.

[–] voxthefox@lemmy.blahaj.zone 48 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Agreed, one time I admitted to doing dummies a couple times during my yearly physical and basically got scolded and judged. Last time I tell doctors about drugs outside of an emergency.

In college I arranged a co-op at IBM. They made me take a drug test which I failed (for marijuana). A person from IBM's HR called me and said literally "you need to clean up your act" and they brought me in to do the co-op anyway. I have no idea what the fuck that was all about.

I also got pulled over for speeding one time and the cop smelled the joint I had been smoking. Luckily he let me go with just a speeding ticket, but he made a point of scolding me -- not for driving while high but because I was 49 at the time. He told me it was time for me to grow up. I was seriously enraged by that but of course I kept it to myself.

Lighting the lighter in an enclosed space that probably has oxygen tanks is definitely not a good idea

[–] seathru@quokk.au 29 points 6 days ago (3 children)

As a dumbass kid, I lit my grandmas oxygen tube on fire. It was wild; oxidizers are no joke.

[–] dumbass@piefed.social 36 points 6 days ago

Here, take my username, you earnt it with that story.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 19 points 6 days ago (1 children)

"wild" is certainly one way to describe it

[–] seathru@quokk.au 20 points 6 days ago (2 children)

It wasn't that bad. It was more like a 40 foot long, angry firework fuse. I was able to eventually stomp it out before my childhood took a drastic turn for the worse. It was one of the things that piqued my interest in physics/chemistry.

If the flame reached the tank, there wouldn't have been an immediate explosion, no fuel, but the oxygen getting everywhere could have gotten your house much closer to burnt down.

[–] seathru@quokk.au 3 points 5 days ago

I more meant the jet powered flaming snake flipping around on the floor setting the place on fire. We didn't believe in fire retardants back then.

I'd love to know what you are actually trying to achieve.

Hey Grandma want to get blown up, it's the hot new trend.

[–] seathru@quokk.au 3 points 5 days ago

I was a smart stupid kid, and a bit of a pyro. I had figured out putting oxygen on a fire made it bigger but I didn't have a concept of an oxidizer, I thought it was a fuel like propane/butane. So I cranked up the oxygen bottle and put a lighter to the end of the tube thinking it would make a little blow torch. It did, but not in the way I was expecting.

[–] Honytawk@feddit.nl 3 points 5 days ago

The whole of Gaza is doing it

[–] Mpatch@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Oxygen isn't flammable.

It just helps other things become ashes faster.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

Good point.

Gonna blaze up next to an oxygen tank now.

[–] 5oap10116@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Meh. Not enough fuel to O2 to cause any real issue even if the tank was purging for hours in a mostly closed space.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Inside the tank maybe. Outside the tank almost certainly.

[–] deHaga@feddit.uk 1 points 5 days ago

Get some nitrous and ammonia in there, then wed have a party

Must suck living in a place that doesn't have legal weed. Fuck prohibition.

[–] Bakkoda@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I was in the process of getting a new doctor (general) and said I had a dram every night. She asked if I drank to numb the pain (no idea what pain she was speaking about) and that was the last time i saw her.

[–] BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Well why do you have a dram every night then

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 6 points 6 days ago (3 children)

No one's getting drunk off one glass of whisky. So drinking one glass of whisky is not indicative of any psychological problem.

That's like asking somebody if they're sad because they had one bowl of ice cream.

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Did you have one bowl of ice cream to numb the pain though?

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago

After getting my wisdom teeth removed, yeah XD

drinking one glass of whisky

To be fair, medical professionals generally triple or quadruple patients' reported alcohol consumption.

[–] Bakkoda@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

And when I say dram, i mean dram. I use a jigger, pour one shot and that's it.

[–] BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (2 children)

So you are just drinking cause you like the taste of whiskey?

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

A dram is like two fingers. You'd not even get a buzz off that. Look it up

[–] Bakkoda@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Love the taste. Bourbon and Irish are my favs.

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

She’s just going for stitches. They wouldn’t have surgery for that.

[–] AmbiguousProps@lemmy.today 2 points 5 days ago

I had a leg break which required hardware to be installed. I told the doctors that I smoked weed and they still gave me the "good stuff". This was even at a Catholic hospital (gross), but I'm in the PNW so maybe that's why.
