It's not just the physical withdrawals that add to the complications of opioid withdrawal. While they play a large role, you also have to remember that prolonged opioid abuse essentially causes the amygdala of the brain to be "re-wired" to the extent where a severe user will continue to seek out...
I agree! Oh wait, didn't recceguy tell me that I'm not a knife fighter, so I shouldn't die pretending to be one :( . I guess this debate will have to be settled the old fashioned way: pistols at dawn. I demand satisfaction! Of course, recceguy would likely have some snide remark to make about...
That was uncalled for. I was just saying how I liked the knife. I never alluded to being a knife-fighter. Srsly what's your problem? What are you some kind of internet tough guy whose e-peen depends on you putting down less experienced members of the forum? Like seriously, how do you even equate...
Oh how I loved my Grohmann DH Russel #3 complete with the leather sheath and the original box. I got it as a birthday present one year. I still have it to this day and it still keeps a wonderful edge. I remember that before I got the DH Russel #3, I used to carry a big Buck pigsticker. No idea...
Hi all! Given the increasing rates of opioid addiction throughout society as a whole, I was wondering if I could get some feedback as to how methadone or Suboxone treatment is viewed in the CF. Are methadone/sub patients ostracized and completely peered out or are they accepted into their peer...
Ouch :o . I was just looking for some info as to what to expect :dunno: . I'm really *really* set on getting this trade so I want to know every little detail involved. I digress, I'm sorry if I irked you with my first post.
Hi all! I'm sorry to bombard everyone with questions about Social Work Officers, it's just that I really have my mind set on it! I have a question about the training that a Social Work Officer has to go through. Now, I know for a fact that Soc. Work Offr's have to go through BMOQ as well as...
No it's not in Canada, and I doubt that it will be as Eastern Europe has very strange trends in drug abuse. In the meantime, we still have to deal with 19 year old kids having IV abscesses in their neck because their arm, foot and hand veins were shot. My stomach still turns at the thought of...
I browsed around in this tread for my personal encounter with a poser. Well, I don't know if I'd call him a poser but a......very......odd individual.
I remember meeting this individual (not by choice, mind you) when I was in first year university. At first, this fella seemed nice enough, but...
Shame some ultra left-wing nutbar got hold of my Temporary CF ID and proceeded to burn it along with my Conservative Party of Canada Membership Card :evil: because he thought that by golly since I had an ID card AND I was a Conservative, I was likely to pillage Afghan villages....despite the...
Thanks all for the great suggestions. It looks like my work is cut out for me :D . There are just so many opportunities here and I have to thank the posters on this thread for providing me with some excellent leads for careers in Social Work. The opportunity to serve in uniform again has me very...
I know that this may seem like a foolish question, but what is the standard conscious sedation procedure used in field settings. Is it the same as what one would find in a North American ED such as the combination of midazolam (Versed) and fentanyl or in some cases, infusions of smaller doses of...
MedCorps,
Thank you very much for your extremely informative reply. You provided me with an impeccable answer that really entices me further to join the CF as a Social Work Officer. I'm especially interested in the sheer diversity that a military social work position brings. As a Canadian...
Saw this on CNN. As if teenagers raiding their parents' liquor cabinets didn't bring enough EtOH poisoning cases into Emerge ::) . It's as almost as bad as the time when a local newspaper ran a story proclaiming how the seeds of the Jimson Weed plant were the same as LSD :facepalm: . Needless...
Hi all, it's been a while! I've recently been accepted into the Master of Social Work program at the local university. Since I already have a Master's in Sociology with my thesis being in an examination of the role of physicians' discretion in medical practice and policy in acute and chronic...
;D You are absolutely correct everything tastes better with gravy. I think that it may actually be a law of physics that gravy makes everything taste better. I think it's called the Gravy Coefficient or the Theory of Gravy Deliciousness.
