Answer by Master Buz Lawson
I cannot even pretend to speak for these facilities, though I think you may run into a brick wall, here. Because of the nature of the function these facilities serve and the privacy issues involved, I doubt seriously that a ‘field trip tour’ will be granted. You can call such facilities in your area and ask, and I’ll just about guarantee that they will opt for sending someone with brochure-type information to your location to speak of their facility and it’s function/methods. No such facility will allow you mass contact with patients. Their patients are there being treated for a disorder, and thier focus on their rehabilitation is vital to the success of the program.

You might consider asking these facilities if they can recommend a graduate of thier program to lecture your class, but I truly believe that what you are asking is more than any reputable treatment facility is likely to consider appropriate.

Question by Leslie H: Why do Morphine, Dilaudid, Demerol, etc. given through an IV all give me a TERRIBLE stomach pain?
I have had three surgeries in about as many months. While waking up from my first surgery I had just been given Dilaudid! It felt like somebody kicked me in the stomach for nearly two hours! It hurt SO badly! It finally went away. Then they had the brilliant idea to give me Demerol. It did the exact same thing! Finally, I told them that I’d rather deal with the surgical pain then have them induce more pain upon me! Well, last week I had a surgery where I was supposed to be kept awake (Cardiac Ablation). When the nurse came in, he told me that they would be given me Dilaudid and Versed to sedate me the entire time! I totally freaked out! I told him what Dilaudid did to me the last time it was given to me and that Versed never does ANYTHING for me since I am already on 4 mg. of Klonopin a day which is in the same category of drug. So, basically, they had no option other than to have anesthesia come in and give me Propophol and I can tell you one thing……I don’t remember a thing after that. As they were waking me up after the surgery, I was in pain and they gave me Fentanyl. It worked like a charm except for some severe itching. I was given some IV Benadryl and I was fine. Anyway, while I was in recovery for 6 hours, I was very sore, so I asked for some pain medication. I told them about my reaction to Dilaudid and that the Fentanyl worked wonders for me a few hours ago, but they decided to give me Morphine and WHAM! The stomach pain hit me like a ton of bricks! Luckily, they had Narcan right there just in case I had a bad reaction and it counteracted the effects of the Morphine immediately! My question is: Why do Narcotic IV pain relievers make me have this reaction? I have had the pain relievers in previous surgeries and they did not do this to me. Why are they giving me this reaction now? Also, what makes me itch so badly after given IV narcotics?

Answer by colostomy_punch
I obviously can’t tell you exactly why this happens to you but for me, I found every time I had surgery I had a terrible reaction to the anesthetics and pain killers. Coming out of the meds was always terrible as well. Morphine made me very nauseous so they would give me a shot of gravol in my thigh but all that did was make me sick AND tired. Finally when I had my UTI they gave me morphine and I started puking everywhere.. I felt awful. I decided from then on to just tell the hospital I was allergic to morphine and not give it to me again. From then on they’ve given me Codein and I’ve had 0 problems. I can say though, those are all drugs that are VERY harsh on the system. Even codein will make me sick if it’s on an empty stomach.

Question by bong hong: Can you give me any ideas about this writing, please? Is it fine?
Health care is a very major issue that deals with the future of the U.S and its citizens. President Obama wants to make the insurance more available to all people and change the American’s health care system so that it is cheaper. He also wants the change so that the insurance companies find it harder to get out of paying for treatment.
There are many pros of enforcing health care such as it will come to the aid of people who do not have Medicare or Medicaid. Many people have went to hospitals for serious conditions and have either been sent back out of the hospital or tended to last because they cannot afford to pay the bill. If this is enforced, the costs of the health bills will be reduced and more affordable. People will not have to pay a large amount of money just because of natural causes. On the other hand, patients receiving medical coverage also receive additional help in the event of a serious injury or illness. It would also assist people who have a very low income but yet work hard acquire the help they require. For instance, perhaps right now they are stress out about not being able to afford prescription drugs or frustrated that they cannot afford to pay a dentist or to operate on their teeth. It would provide relief to families fighting to make ends meet. People would also be protected in the event of an accident. Additional pro is that there will be increased competition in the insurance market. It might be from a public option. It might also be from some kind of non-profit, state-specific, co-operative. This might push the health care companies to lower costs and provide better services.
Health care enforcement not only has pros but it also has some cons. There will be fewer doctors in medicine because of a drastic pay cut. Patients may be subjected to wait extremely long for treatment. If health care does happen to get enforced, hospitals will be packed with patients that need to be treated. Another con of health care enforcement is that people will be controlled more by the government. If health care does get enforced then it is more than likely that the government is going to take charge and make huge changes. He may pass additional restrictions to keep us away from certain things or increase taxes on things such as smoking, fast-food, etc. Doing these things could actually stop many Americans from having the freedom that they already have. All of our health records and personal information will be in the hands of the government and all of that information will no longer be confidential. Moreover, government-controlled health care could lead to a decrease in patient flexibility. The doctors cannot get to all of the patients at one time and they have to figure out which people will have to be treated first. These decisions could lead to people with serious problems waiting for many months just to get treatment at the hospitals.
Should Congress pass a health care reform bill? I think it is important that they do everything within their power to get the middle class back to full employment before they try to overhaul the health care system. No matter what reforms are made, it is going to add a huge burden to government budgets. The U.S cannot maintain the current rate of spending, much less increase it, without a solid middle class tax base because we can be certain that the rich and business are not going to pay for it.

Go through this line by line and reduce the number of words.

Examples:

“Health care is a very major issue”…there is no need for the word “very.”

There are examples of wordiness in every sentence.

Question by alliyah ld: Can anyone give me tips on how to find alcohol rehab centers in Woodsville, New Hampshire?

Answer by daisha d
You should peruse through the yellow pages. You’ll surely find a list there of the alcohol rehabs near your home. Call each one and inquire about the treatment methods, medication, etc. Getting recommendations from a doctor or healthcare provider is also a good way of finding an alcohol rehab. Good luck, and I hope your sister recovers soon!

My husband is a functional alcoholic. We have Known each other 15 years, married for half that time. We have 2 babies now, 21 and 18 months. Last night he passed out when he was supposed to be watching the toddler, I came in and the toddler was running around unsupervised, trying to pull down a hot crock pot off the counter. We have done this dance before, and as far as I am concerned this is his last chance to get help. He always says he can do it on his own, then goes back to his old ways. I feel trapped because I can’t raise my babies in this environment, but I can’t divorce him because I fear for the kids safety when they are in his custody for visitations. He has never been pulled over or put into jail (that I know of) so his alcoholism is based on my word alone. He hides it very well. If I give him an ultimatum, could it possibly drive him to get help? Or would it make things worse?
I am seeing a counselor, and she asks that I put this on the back burner for my own sake right now, and not make any big decisions for awhile. I have a lot going on adjusting to going back to work and all. But I feel so trapped and clueless about what I am supposed to do now.
He is not going to watch the kids unsupervised anymore, period. I have found some local Al-Anon meeting to try. Thanks for your suggestions.

my dumbass husband put us into chapter 13 bankruptcy because he was blowing all our money literally up his nose, he admitted this to me almost 2 years ago and had been keeping this coke habit a secret for years. well now he’s doing it again, money missing late on or mortgage again, and his sister actually told me today that he stopped by her house today and used her bathroom and was in there for a while and blew his nose befor he left, then she went in there and found a little tiny bit of white powder (shes been suspicious too) and her boyfriend tasted it and said it definately was coke. so now that i know for sure he is doing it again… his family is going to do an intervention and get him into a 90 day rehab. well i cant afford this house on my own we cant even afford it together. so what do i do? we have 2 kids and 2 dogs. it kills me to take my kids home away from them and what about my dogs? we love them. i hate my stupid husband im soo mad!!

I did not post the details of my situation when I initially asked if I could give my baby up for adoption because I knew the hate that was likely to come in my direction.

However, since I have asked additionally, for clarification on why so many in this section seem to be anti adoption & many of you read my first question… you are assuming the reason I want to give my child up is financial, or lack of support, or even young age, unmarried…These are the most common reasons, but they are not my reasons. Let me tell you what happened briefly (as is possible) & please then only answer if you have something worthwhile to contribute that is not hateful & judgemental. I am already HUGELY aware that what has occured is “wrong” in the eyes of many. I am trying to find the most responsible solution.

I am married. I have 4 children (all with the same father, my husband). They range in age from 13 to 4. I have a great job. Lots of money. But I am gone A LOT. My husband stays home with our kids & helps @ lunch @ the kids’ Montessori. He is a good man. He puts up with a lot.

A while back I was introduced to a man I wil call John at a party. We had a brief relationship & I got pregnant sleeping with him once…yes, yes, poor judgement, lack of self control, sin, irresponsible toward my family…I agree. But none of that changes the current situation. I could not bring myself to have an abortion because I know & love the 4 children I have & I had a period of time after I found out I was pregnant with my 4th child (&my son was only 8 months old & I was entering a very intense portion of my training) that I considered terminating my pregnancy. But every time I look at her I think how much poorer I would be if I didn’t have her. So I chose not to terminate this pregnancy either.

John is struggling in life. He is 38 & has an 18 year old daughter who lives w her mother in a dif state. He missed out on most of her life because he was busy using. After spending some time in prison & successfully completing a lengthy drug treatment & rehab program he has done a lot to turn his life around. But his prospects are limited due to his criminal record. He is excited about this baby.

But there is the obvious dillemma…this is not my husband’s baby. He at first was VERY angry with me which is understandable. He is now less angry & we are getting along well, but he doesn’t want to tell anyone about this pregnancy or have to explain anything. He has said that if I want to keep this baby I need to move out. If I move out, I will see my 4 kiddos even less than I do now.

I ask about giving the child up without John’s permission because I know that he would take the child. & I don’t think he would be a poor father, but I REALLY struggle with the effects on this baby…knowing that it has 4 siblings & a mother that live across town but living eternity wondering why I kept them & not it. I know that the child would still be involved in my life in some way, shape, or form even if he took custody….& that would be even harder on the child. To have some marginally/ minimally involved mother & being raised without its 4 siblings. So the thought was that the child would be better off with an adoptive family that was whole.

Ideally, I would like to keep this baby & raise it with my other 4 children. But I don’t know that my husband can come to a place where he could accept this. Especially since John will obviously be involved & would need to come to the house to pick the child up etc.

So tell me in this context what would be best? Please spare me the hate & the religious lectures. I am my own worst enemy. But I WOULD appreciate any sincere thoughts / perspectives.
Sorry. This is a book.
No Phil, I appreciated your answer. I just had some incorrect assumptions made about my situation & reasoning for thinking of adoption. I do thank you for your reply.
