Guest guest Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 Hi all! Did anybody see last nights episode of ER? This was a particularly crazy episode where everything went nuts. There is a guy running around in the ER with a wheechair telling the docs he has chronic pancreatitis and needs Demerol! You had to really listen or you would miss it. Anyway, long story short, they blow him off of course. Another scene shows him in a bed asking for 150 mg of Demerol (a large dose to say the least) they give him 125 and tell him to go to a pain management guy. He gives his name as " Dean " . Next scene he is in another bed giving his name as " Haldeman " and telling them he has " back problems " hasn't been to the chiropractor yet and needs 150 mg of Demerol. Again he gets 125 and advice to go to pain management. My point being, ok so they have discovered the disesae of CP but I don't like the way it was portrayed. I am going to check the site at NBC on the internet and if there is a place I am going to send an E-mail about all this and thought you all would like to also. Obviously we all need to be recognized but not this way. They need to know this is a REAL and horrible disease not to be taken lightly like this. I am sure this was all in ignorance but isn't ignorance about the disease what we would like to stop? BTW weren't Dean and H. R. Haldeman in the Watergate thingee or something? That part cracked me up. It just hit a nerve with me! Take care all Kaye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
