I was, and I’m not sorry. Little bastard needs a whoopin.

Way back when I was working in hospital security they brought in this 15 year old kid who had tried to hang himself, but was denying it. He was a big 15 year old kid (6 foot tall, but skinny) and a complete jerk. You could tell he was a bully to all the kids in school because he was so tall. After spending hours dealing with him I had enough of him and started to provoke him, not proud of that, but I was annoyed. He would get up in my face, I'd take a step forward, he'd back up and say, "I'm not afraid of you" to which I wold respond, "Then why did you back up" then get in my face and repeat. The guy I was working with realized I was about to take this kid down hard, so he contacted the police, who came.

I was then 6'1" tall, 3 offices showed up, 2 patrolman who were about 6'2"and 6'4" and their Sargent 6'1", he was a friend of mine. At that point the other security guy, 2 nurses and myself were in the room with this kid, they wanted to give him a sedative, the kid was still being mouthy, and argumentative. The officers walked into the room and said everybody out, and pointed at me and said you stay. Everyone left, the Sargent shut the door. The kid just sat in the corner yelling insults. The Sargent told him to shut up, the kid did, then the Sargent said. You have 2 choices here, be quiet, sit there, don't give the nurse a hard time, and let them give you the medication..... or we all jump on you and hold you down and then they will give you they medication.... and frankly, at this point, I hope you choose option 2. Kid looking wide eyed around the room at all of us and said.... rather quietly.... I... I...I'll take the medication...

Sargent opened the door, let the nurse in and she gave the kid the shot.... we had no more issues with him after that

It appears our newest Troll is no more

Ah well. I'm relatively proud of myself for just blocking him and bitching about him behind his back rather than having fun with him. When I was his age, I would have said awful, awful things to him...

 

[Prince_Alarming]

*prays* Thank you lord, for giving me the strength not to insult our latest troll.... to his face...

I swore that this wouldn't happen, but I'm actually getting more conservative as I get older. I've come to the conclusion that if you expect somebody to pay good money for a piece of Art, then they have a right to expect something that they couldn't have done themselves.

I lurk a lot. I have more to learn than I have to contribute here.

Although it turns out that kinesiology tape is great for holding nicotine patches on while you're exercising

Mini-rant: I am being withheld treatment for a very serious illness because people who are not doctors and who know less than nothing about medicine have got it into their heads that people are taking these things unnecessarily and it is something that I mightily resent.

Is this the church and/or a rehab place telling you not to take your meds? If so, any chance you can change to a different org? That was a philosophy (that any psych meds means you're not sober) that I absolutely despised when i work in that field.

No, nothing like that it's just the GP won't prescribe diazepam which I badly need, because right wing idiots keep pushing this crap about prescription meds being overprescribed. Sorry for alarming you, I'm not always very coherent but my therapist agrees that I need it and I am, or was, using alcohol instead of an actual medicine. Sadly, it's only a level 2 facility so they can't write a letter to recommend it.

Might be time to get an appt with a new gp then, if you're able. Not sure how it works in the UK.

Ive been having back and neck issues for about a month. Starting around (but not exactly) the same time i got a concussion in june, but I always have back/neck issues so I wasn't too concerned. Went on a 10 hour car ride to visit family and it was getting worse, was worried there might be something actually wrong.

My mom has about 50 pillows of different hardness levels/thickness, so when i arrived i went through them and tested a few. 2 days later my back feels fine and my neck is about 90% better. I might need to steal this pillow when i leave.

Sorting that out monday morning then, I intend to be calm and rational. It annoys me that every street junkie gets these things hand over fist and I can't get them and I haven't done anything illegal. Diaghphramic breathing and the like can only do so much.

Unfortunately, that'll have to wait until I can afford it. I've gotten it checked multiple times (was born with neck/back issues), and pretty much every time it's a couple thousand dollars for them to tell me there's nothing they can do, or offer me painkillers/muscle relaxers that I don't like taking.

I suppose the right pillow is like the correct shoe insert from the Good Feet Store.
