    You know it's bad when a farmer stops working and willingly goes to hospital. Farmers are tough.

      Yes we are. I have raised livestock for 45 years. It's 24/7. We don't get vacations. I would not have traded it for anything. Sometimes it is like working in the ER. Tears and joy but always rewarding

      You are correct. Anytime we have a farmer come in willingly, we know something is not right.

    I could never figure out how people accidentally overdose but then one day I almost did. I didn't have my glasses on and I had forgotten to take my antibiotic. I got out of bed and took my normal dose of 3 pills of my antibiotic. Actually I took a triple does of Soma a muscle relaxer I had left over from some back spasms months ago. I was lucky I felt nauseous about 20 minutes later and puked them up. So that's how people accidentally overdose. I now have a pair of glasses right inside my medicine cabinet. No more being lazy and not putting my glasses on. I was very lucky.

      I accidentally overdosed on my heart medication because it looks almost identical to my antidepressant. Ended up taking 800mg of the medication that I only take 200mg of. Got an ambulance ride, a few days in hospital, and a $20k bill for that mistake

    I think every school should teach Cpr, and make it mandatory.
    People need to be able to react on scene before the ambulance arrives.
    I have so much admiration for the fantastic caring people who work for the ambulance service, on the ground and in the air.

    Moral of this episode: Don't go into a pen with a bull in it unless you secure him first. When I was young we had a farm down the road that had all kinds of animals and they would let us come and help feed and play with them. They had a bull too, in his own big field with a sturdy fence. You sometimes couldn't see him if he was in a dip, but there was a big red sign on the fence saying "Unless you can run 200 yards in under 5 seconds stay out." Yeah, that huge lumbering-looking animal is surprisingly fast on his feet. This one had big horns too, measured at ~3.5 feet.

    Do your research and don’t blindly trust doctors. I have chronic painful autoimmune illnesses and would not be able to function at all without pain management. I also take muscle relaxers for painful, frequent spasms and insomnia. I still hurt even with all I take. I can understand how he just had enough and took an extra dose, but they’re all sedatives. And terrible mixed. The diazepam is the kicker. That’s one of those things you should avoid at all costs with opiates. His doc really did fail him by stacking all that together. I feel for him and I truly hope he’s found better meds and safer relief 🤍

    I wish we had called 911 when I was thrown by my horse. I went over her head and landed 5'-6' in front of her on my left hip. Couldn't use my left leg or put weight on it. Went to a local ER and they said xrays didn't show any broken bones, go home, see my doc in 2-3 weeks. I saw an orthopedic surgeon 2 months later and he sent me for an MRI. It showed 2 pelvic fractures and 1 in my lower back. He asked how much bleeding I had at the fracture sites and I had no clue. Said I should have been on total bedrest for 12 weeks to heal. I was driving an hour to and from work and sitting at a desk for 9 hours each day. I think the ER was mad because I forgot my checkbook for my copay and they hurried me out of there. They lost my triage paperwork and started seeing people that came in after me. They found them at the discharge desk. Once in there, they were going to send me for xrays. The nurse had come to discharge me and I told him I hadn't had xrays yet. If we'd called an ambulance, I wonder if they would have said possible hip or pelvic fractures since I couldn't move or use my left leg. My checkbook was the last thing on my mind. Granted, if the bones are broken but still in alignment, they are hard to see on xrays but not being able to move it myself means something is broken, according to my physical therapist. It's been 16 yrs, I walk with a cane, can't sit on hard surfaces, on heavy pain meds, and can't touch my hip at times where I hit the ground. Even my clothes brushing against it hurts. I hope the motorcyclist has a full recovery and no long term issues.

      Like all things, it depends how rural your area is. I live metro Atlanta and have a hospital within minutes of me, and several others that I can get to within 20-30 via ambulance even in traffic. That’s probably 10-15 different emergency centers within half an hour via ambulance. But the more spread out people are, the farther from the cities, the farther it’s gonna be to a hospital. Doesn’t make much sense to build a hospital for a population of 1000 in the middle of nowhere.
      In fact, as a kid we went to the beach in Florida, THOUSANDS of people around, but all tourists. My folks got food poisoning so severe they couldn’t walk and the nearest hospital was 2 hours away at that time… there just aren’t going to be hospitals where there aren’t populations to sustain them.

      Chronic pain is a BRUTE that can take over a person’s life. A friend’s brother was injured by an IED in Iraq and took his life two years later because he couldn’t live with the pain. I’m 4 weeks from a full shoulder dislocation and the constant pain (despite strong non-narcotic painkillers) is quite draining physically and emotionally - it’s hard to sleep at night and concentrate on work during the day.
      So from my perspective it’s quite easy to see how James overdosed: he was just seeking relief and when one medication didn’t work, he tried some more. I’m at the point with my shoulder where I’m about to ask my doctor to give me a mild opiate even though I hate how they make me feel.
