Just how does an humorous story become a "Flame" thread?
Granted, exorcisms in ER may not be in everyones perverted funny bone but can't we let folks have a few laughs and take it with a grain of salt?

Oh, I totally agree. ...And besides, I have to admit, I'm somewhat exhausted by battling raving lunatics who refuse to get off their soap box. 
....So, I'm moving on. :Melody:
...Oh, and thanks for the info on Phenergan, stevierae. I did not know that.

[quote=SARAH CONNOR]wow. what small minds and big egos we all must have to deny others thier beliefs! i wonder what people thoughtwhen they heard about the parting of a whole sea! part a sea, kiss a snake. what ever you believe is ok with me.
I absolutely agree with the idea of religious freedom. However, this patient came to the emergency room with an apparent physical/emotional problem wanting medical expertise. I'm pretty sure that everyone knows that care in the ER does not include exorcism, so I really don't understand why someone would come to the ER expecting a priest on call for emergency exorcisms.
Spiritual emergencies need to be referred to the minister, priest, chaplan, rabbi, guru, priestess, whatever...
This patient is very lucky she didn't get sent off for a 72 hour hold (would of happened in my state). And I'm wondering if a mental health referral would have actually been a good thing...

i agree also, it is one of our constitutional rights. but admit it, some we don't understand because they are very different. variety is the spice of life.

i'm not so sure that is the case. don't you ever get those patient that just need a pat on the back or a slap on the face (so to speak) and they are just fine until the next time? then there are the just really wierd ones who you just have to take with that ever so big grain of salt. if these folks are humored, they probably will just go away.

personally, i think a good excercism would be fun. i realize that we all are busy but unfortunatly these are our patients just like any appy or bronchitis. they just need a different kind of care. do they need spiritual help? maybe, but for that moment they are putting their trust in us. do i want to call psyc? yes, but i why rock the boat if you don't have to? if we can treat and street, let's!
the less drugs we give our all ready addicted society the better.

now the fact that these people got admitted is beyond me. the problem should have been taken care of in the er.
remember EVERYONE these are JUST my opinions so don't go off, kay?
