Say not _afraid_, but now and then I like to head off some of the more lame-ass kneejerkery. 🙂 > [@MeanOldLady](#): > > Holy fuck! Well aren’t you glad you decided to go to the hospital when you did? I sure am. Be well. Not just the Dixie whistling are you; there are plenty of ways I could have got no medical attention until hours later. Threw a scare into me and I don’t care who knows it. See ya down the trail, **MoL**. 🆒 ---

Hope you feel better, **Mal**! I had cellulitis myself a few years ago (from an infected lion bite, no less, but that’s a long story) and I totally know what you mean about having to learn to do everything with one leg elevated. ---

Please tell us. Yes. Time to start an “Ask the guy who was bitten by a lion” thread! ---

Sorry, I wasn’t trying to hijack the thread. [Here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=12531175&postcount=20)’s a summery of the leonine misadventure; now we can get back to **Malacandra**. ---

That’s OK, if I’d been bitten by a lion you can bet I’d find ways to work it into casual conversation too. 😃 ---

I must say I’m very jealous of you for playing with cheetah cubs. For me that would almost - almost! - be worth a lion bite. ---

> [@pantheon](#): > > Just curious- do you ever do this despite the patients’ wishes? I know several recovering addicts who have asked for/specified non-narcotic/opiate painkillers for surgery, ER visit, etc. only to wake up either already attached to a drip or having been administered a drug they did not want. > > I’m just wondering, in your experience of the medical field in general, if these requests are taken seriously or if these stories are just isolated incidents. Is it even possible to have such a request permanently attached to your medical record, so that if you are unconscious they avoid such drugs as seriously as they would for an allergy? I personally have never seen narcotics administered against the wishes of a patient. The problem is that as **irishgirl** says some pain is just not going to be controlled by anything less than narcotics. I’ve never had a _major_ trauma patient, no matter how dedicated to their recovery, refuse morphine. Where I usually encounter reluctance is sort-of middle level injuries like my patient a few days ago with 2nd degree burns from spilling scalding water on himself. Burns are very painful so for any decent sized burn I tend to be aggressive with pain control. I prescribed percocet which the patient refused because he’s living at a recovery program and didn’t want to come up dirty on his next drug test. So I have him a strong NSAID instead.
