Not that a few days of R&R in the hospital wouldn’t be welcome, mind you, but I’m still reeling from paying off the bills from the last time.

WOW!!! That could have been more than exciting. Human error, in my opinion, kills more people UNintentionally than the street rowdy fruitloops do INtentionally.

So glad you pay attention to your meds. And yeah, you and VH probably look lousey in orange.

Pretty much the same reason I get narcotics filled. I’m not much of a fan of having drugs in me, but I fill them in case I might need them someday. Got about 4 bottle of Lortab & Vicodine (sp?) in my medicine cabinet right now.

BTW, I was never suggesting that you take to selling on the street. I was just mostly being a smartass. I personally like my virgin status when it comes to butt-rape, so I tend to obey the laws of the land…

Huh. Well, since I don’t look good in prison orange (a fact for which VH is grateful), I’ve just kept them around in the event VH needs one some day.

When I was working in an emergency room during college, we had a whacko come in via local law enforcement. In the struggle to get him strapped onto the bed, a bottle of pills fell to the ground. After we got him strapped in, I picked it up. The cop looked over my shoulder and said, “any idea what that’s worth on the street?” I didn’t, but I knew that a nearly full 500 count bottle of Xanax would at least pique some interest. He said that, without any effort, I could have $2-3k in my hand in about 5 minutes…

I think Lortab is in the same narcotic classification as Xanax.

Because it’s a controlled substance and has a decent street value if you’re ever in a pinch….

In that case, I probably have a small fortune in my medicine cabinet.

Oh, and always open up the paper bag and look at what’s in the bottle before you leave the pharmacy… I always check. Saves a return trip.

Excellent suggestion! I didn’t even think to have them note it as an allergy. DOH. And I agree that Lortab Rx should be deleted. I can’t use the stuff, so why risk this happening again?

Hey you! Since you can’t take acetaminophen tell the pharmacy that you are allergic and have it put into your record that is shared by all the three letter pharmacies… Also have them delete the Lortab refills so that it can’t be refilled again. By putting an allergy to acetaminophen into your record you will also guard against being prescribed a medication that contains it (and there are a lot of those out there). The pharmacist’s job is to know the ingredients and an allergy note will alert the pharmacist to the fact that it is contraindicated in your case.
