Idiots misuse... but remember many patients abuse. That's why our system is so fucked. I feel bad for you, but in my 8 years of experience I have never met a patient who gave me prescribed meds because "they had a bad flu". PS.... I'm no stranger.. I've responded to over 1800 emergency calls.

um.. I don't have a problem.. other than being human.
If I got a headache, I would take medicine to cure it.
If I got diarrhea, I would take medicine to cure it.
If I am vomiting, I would take medicine to cure it.
And I keep cures handy in the medicine cabinet.
That isn't really a wierd concept.
I just think it's unfortunate adults aren't trusted with this stuff.
If you haven't heard of it.. as a medic, that's pretty wierd. Tho I doubt many people would call a EMT for vomiting. Maybe that's why? But if you go to the ER (thousands of people a year end up in the ER because they can't stop vomiting due to flu and end up dangerously dehydrated because after a couple days of not being able to keep even water down...), the stuff I am talking about is what they will give you. In either pill form, or in an IV if you can't keep the pill down for the 15min or so it takes to kick in. That's how I originally found out about it.
I have 2 different kinds:
-Prochlorperazine
-Promethazine
I don't know how many different names there are for this stuff.. like most meds I assume there are different brands vs generic. etc
But it works amazingly well.
