You don't want people like that in charge of caring for the elderly. It's a problem as outlined in this recent study:

PURDUE NURSING RESEARCHERS ANALYZE MEDICATION THEFT IN LONG-TERM CARE FACILITIES

My mom wasn't in a long term care facility but there is an assisted and memory care side.

I get that but it could have been anyone who worked there so short of firing the whole place that ship has sailed

obviously they need a different procedure for the Oxy

Obviously it would have to be reported in order to trigger the change in procedure.

Maybe when Canada faces a nationwide opioid epidemic for several years your opinion will carry more weight XXXer. No offense, but your take is flippant and unhelpful. Bennymac and KQ are right. Reporting the incident is how drug seekers are removed from positions where they are caring for elderly and able to steal drugs.

Yeah. You hope if it’s an addiction problem they get help for it, but you can’t have someone like that caring for others. And if they are just dealing I hope they sit in a dark hole for a long time.

I have never taken Oxy or Hydro and thought ‘Hey this is fun. I want to do more.’
I don’t get it.

Genetics. Some people get high, others don’t. Some people become addicted, others don’t.

Same. So itchy.

Yeah all that stuff sux. Morphine was the worst. I couldn't quit scratching. Oxy was a necessary evil after my skiing accident but I couldn't wait to get off of it.

This.

I, for one, am DAMNED glad that shit is prescription-only.

I still remember the delicious hazy evenings after back surgery (over 10 years ago) provided by demon oxycodone.

I did tell the admin who was aghast. She in turn reported it to her higher up and they put in new protocols for the independant living residents. They already have strict guideline for the assisted residents. Accepting prescription delivers for the independent side was just a courtesy thing. I feel bad about this but honestly if you think about it, it's a good thing that it happened so they can ferret out the bad actor.

Police report has been filed. I turned over the obviously tampered with bag and bottle. They will notify the Dept. of Health who will audit the facility. Again, I feel bad but this is a a big deal not just for my Mom but all the residents there.




Ha-ha-ha! Yeah I have been waiting for someone I've reported this to to question if I'd taken them but 1. Why would I report it if I'd taken them? 2. I have another bottle of them that she never finished because she ended up getting admitted to the hospital (this was a refill called in by her primary care without speaking to me or her about whether she needed it or not) and 3. Pills are not my thing esp. Oxy - hate that shit.

Enough elder care facilities are shady enough from the top down that I would be afraid that alerting admin before the cops come around would give them a heads up to cover things up, like erasing video. I'm glad to hear that in your case it worked out telling them.

I'm like you. My ski accident had me on 80 mg of oxycodone a day--which is a LOT. I did not like how it made me feel, I felt afraid to fall asleep for fear I wouldn't wake up, and I had zero trouble weaning off of it when the pain got better. I guess it's good luck to be born without the drug addiction gene. I do have the addiction to mindless typing gene though, but it's rarely fatal.

I like hydrocodone. I’ve been wondering if there’s an age/place where some Dr. will think “fuckit, let’s just let this harmless old fuck drift away quietly and happily” and write me all the Rx I want.

Dignity among the hoi polloi is not allowed.

The times I've dabbled in the dark thunder, I really understood why people get addicted.

California. Oregon. When CA passed an assisted suicide law I expected Kaiser to say not here. Instead the medical group sent out a memo to all the docs explaining the law and how to go about doing it. Now I just need to make sure I keep costing Kaiser more than they get from Medicare to take care of me so that they're happy to be rid of me when my time comes.

Changing subjects to a question that doesn't deserve a new thread.

Have some upcoming travel with a long layover in San Jose, CR. Getting in at 10pm, flying out at 630am. Is it worth leaving the airport and trying to see a bit of the city at night? Or is that just dumb and we should find a quiet corner of the airport and try to sleep?

This side of the 49th ain't any different but that dope is long gone with no one to blame, i supose you could find someone to fire for allowing a bag of oxy to sit around unsecured for half a week while everyone in the facility reads the prescription and someone finally steals it

So i'm gona go ahead and give you a tip, require the person or caregiver responsible named on the prescription to pick it up from the pharmacy

[MakersTeleMark]

Just have someone sign for it and put it in a safe. Seems simple to me.

Why is the capsaicin of a pepper sometimes evenly distributed, and sometimes all packed into one small portion of it?

Most of the spice is in the seeds and the white ribs on the inside. So probably something to do with that

I can't answer your question but based on an N=1 it might be a good idea to collect any checked luggage in SJ and recheck it the next morning. Maybe someone with more experience would like to comment. (N=1: took about 4 days for the bag to get to Honduras.)

[bennymac]

Not worth it in my opinion. Capital cities in countries like that are often not that interesting even by day. Considering the travel time to and from the airport the most likely thing you’ll see is a dark city. The risk of crime directed at you is also a factor.

What? Like you have a fresh jalepeno on a plate. Seeds veins and all. Cutting pieces off and it's all mild till one bite is a scorcher and then the rest mild again.

My mom is going through this with Kaiser now. It seems they are most interested in covering their asses. A slow process, but hopefully it comes through for her.
