Never....NEVER...cut a potato in half and use it as a pessary!
Anybody got anything to add?
Never fight for your husband to get pain meds. He just may be a former drug addict.
Never drink a bottle of wine, and then take a lot of sleeping pills you just found so you could feel higher. We have to work very hard to get you back, and you just might have to have your stomach pumped.
Never knock yourself out on drugs when you're so ill. It just might do you in.
And I thought I was the only one who heard of the potato trick. I stil haven't figured out why a potato. Why not a turnip?
Because this was actually a prescribed treatment in the dark ages, I suppose a turnip might burn..they're kind of spicy raw when you eat them..same concept I guess.
I have learned to be nice to your nurse if you want more positive attitudes and concern expressed over your condition. Be patient. Be nice to your co-workers, and go to the hospital you work at when you need care.
Don't ride on the metal fender of your BF's motorcycle. Not even if you're sitting on a leather jacket. Especially not if your BF wants to go really fast and isn't willing to stop when you're telling him it's getting awfully warm down there.
A 3rd degree burn on your butt just is not any fun at all.

Don't get drunk and ride your motor scooter around the neighborhood. That open leg fracture you got won't be operated on until your alcohol level drops, even if it takes 24 hours.
