I was looking through policy documents for our dog's pet insurance, since I stumbled onto some really negative reviews of the company.
I discovered that Dancing Doberman Disease is an excluded condition. Good to know! Haha Dancing Doberman Disease is a real thing. No biggie that its excluded though because all you do is look at the dog and tell people its Dancing Doberman Disease and there's no treatment necessary. Its not a very expensive disease. The hands down best pet insurance is Trupanion. If your dog is not sick now and has no pre-existing conditions, drop your shady policy and get Trupanion. They cover almost everything 90%, don't hassle people and pre-approve even very expensive stuff in a single phone call. They are too good to be true and will probably eventually go out of business because of that. But right now, they are the pet insurance to have. |

It's funny reading doctor's dictations sometimes. Someone may say they're an 8 or 9/10 with a sprained wrist. The doctor will remind them that a 9 is childbirth and a 10 would be like having a limb amputated traumatically. You know, basically telling them that they're being absurd. They still say their sprained wrist is an 8 or 9.

Of course you should! Imagine getting a haircut AND a KOM on the same ride. Could there be anything more satisfying?

"Ears lanced"? Is that what they did before tubes became a thing? I had tubes 5 or 6 times as a kid and just last year had the same eardrum rupture twice due to infections. I guess I have ****ty Eustachian tubes.

The question is the relative analgesic potency vs. the relative addictive potency. There doesn't seem to be a good handle on that.
The only point I am trying to make is that I believe people are behaving differently more than the drugs are different or their availability is different. |

Yes. Lancing the drum allowed the abcess behind it to drain without a rupture that could cause worse problems with hearing. There was no anesthesia then. The pain at the instant the scalpel cut the ear drum was incredible.
I have a pretty high pain threshold but I had to leave work and lay in bed basically curled up in a ball until it burst a few hours later. That was actually the best part because the pressure was gone. Yea, TMI. Sorry. |
How does anybody know how the dr. rates pain. They rate pain by what they've experienced. Doctors schmoctors.
|
Still, realistically if I had to rate the pain of that eardrum thing, it'd be a 7.

Realize this whole thing is complicated and I am dumbing it down for the masses, but bottom line is that generally speaking, analgesic potency and addictive potency are positively correlated. So more potent, means easier to get addicted, and more available, which means relatively easier to continue and/or escalate behavior.

A trip to my office.
I did neck surgery on this little dog once and it was really weird that the owner didn't show to pick the dog up at the scheduled time. We were trying and trying to get in touch with her and eventually the story unfolded: she was Anna Nicole Smith's psychiatrist, the doc who was prescribing all the meds Smith OD'ed on. The dog's discharge day was the day her office got raided by the California State Police. The psychiatrist lost her license to practice medicine. (But eventually got it back.) The dog did fine. |
The Jeep is back home. New e-brake cable, two new front u-joints, two new front brake calipers, two new rotors and pads, two new hub bearings, alignment check, oil change, state inspection.
