Random Thought Thread

I decided to order a bottle of "Cheers" before the get together to have around and maybe reduce the likelihood of a repeat of last year, where a couple of people didn't feel so great on Sunday.

Anybody got any thoughts on this stuff?

It's not super well studied for this purpose, but the mechanism is plausible. I might see if one capsule makes a difference.

I took three last night. The recommended dose. Although I really didn't have much to drink. No ill effects, but I always worry about taking something without knowing much about it

Nothing beats vitamin B complex for alleviating the effects of alcohol. It's also very good for you. If you have not tried this, you might be amazed.

RULE: You must take it the afternoon/evening while drinking, if you wait until morning when you feel bad, it's too late. It's prevention, not a cure.
RECOMMEND: Take a tablet when you being drinking, take another later in the evening before you sleep.
CAUTION: Your drinking may cause you to forget the 2nd recommended dose.

Yes.
All joking aside, many serious issues can happen to people who ‘feel normal’, and yet many serious issues can be managed easily if caught early (or at least known). The human liver is an amazing organ in what it does and can handle. Problem is that it can only handle so much, then says ‘I am done’.

I had a 21 year old patient (athlete) die from a stroke because he thought he was too healthy to have issues, and kept chugging away with supplements not knowing anything about them.

Having a physical and baseline labs is a good idea.

I do not mean to sound preachy- but spending many years caring for and treating patients who could have avoided at least some of the problems makes me want folks to be pro-active instead of reactive. You should not wait until you get your ass kicked to learn to fight, or ignore vehicle maintenance until it breaks down. Same with health imho.

Full disclosure, I am still pissed off that my FIL who died last week did not have his multiple myeloma diagnosed earlier. Not his fault at all.

Rant over!
Agree with everything you said. Sorry for your loss. Just curious, was your 21 year old patient taking “special” sports supplements?

Thank you. He took lots of supplements he bought at sports nutrition stores. He was not taking street PEDs.

Having high blood pressure, and taking lots of supplements like DHEA, Creatine, T boosters, and caffeine, etc just was too much and he had a vascular hemorrhage. He had been previously prescribed anti-hypertensive medication by his primary care provider, but refused to take them because ‘he felt fine’.

Sad. Thanks for the info 👍
 
A lot of people won't tell their doctor the full story. I'm annoyed that the local Gold's gym where my son and I go, spams us with emails encouraging us to have virtual appointments with their doctors and then be sent injectable peptide and hormone formulations.

With all due, respect, boss, the two I am thinking of, were damaged, likely permanently, far beyond what any over the counter treatment could ever tackle. You weren't there, let me paint you an image of what may have been......

The one, sat in the truck bed, sucking down Yoko brew after Yoko brew, without ever getting up. Once he finally did, I could instantly see his soul leave his body. He then stumbled to the bank to go pee pee, took said pee pee, then proceeded to fall down said bank, into what I will assume, was said pee pee. Now, being the collection of CoCK bretheren that we had assembled at the time, of course we did absolutely nothing to help him, choosing instead to laugh and mock, all with the best of intentions mind you. He then proceeded to make failed attempt, after failed attempt to scale said bank, which ended in him rolling farther down into the bottom each time. Finally, he crawled, hands and knees, out of what surely must have felt like piss drenched hell, and made it back to us, where if memory serves, he did nothing from that point on but sit rocking, sucking his thumb while repeating to himself "I'm okay, I'm okay' I'm okay......"

Now the other one.......my god, what a glorious mess this beautiful, dumb bastard made of himself. He too, under estimated the sneaky of the Yoko brew, while also over estimating what was his competency as a power drinker. I believe, since there were so many tales of the glory of his former youth, that he simply got lost in the moment. Could just be he hasn't been out in about twenty years either, I don't really know. Now, couple that with the notion that the snacks provided at this impromptu get together were being provided by no other than everyone's favorite jackleg lawyer, and well, I think you can see where we were headed. The copious amounts of drool that came out of this man's mouth I can only say I have ever seen rivaled by a mastiff that tried to eat a yellowjacket nest. Couple that with the glassiest thousand yard stare once everything kicked in and started working or fighting against each other, again, I don't know, I'm no chemist, and you just knew, tomorrow was going to be one of the longest days in recorded history for this fella. Now, we likely should have made him puke all that up, or taken him to the ER, but we didn't. We aren't bad people, we were just really entertained. He's lucky he didnt run into the brothers Quantavious that night, or he surely would have woke up in a bath tub full of ice minus a kidney and probably still riding the wave of euphoria that can only be had after being rectally rearranged by a couple of crackheads.

Sorry, if that was a little long winded. To summarize........I don't think that shit will work.

The way I'm reading it, this stuff allows you to drink twice as much? 🎉

In theory, a few of these capsules would have helped metabolize one of the byproducts and possibly reduce the brain damage. At least one of them has a pretty spectacular brain that's probably worth not breaking.

Yoko, you have to stop breaking people's brains. It's not nice.

In all fairness, I don't think the Quantavious brothers are a couple of crackheads. Just Tanto. Rasmus doesn't take any popular Street drugs.

He takes unpopular street drugs.
