Just had to request of a patient that he returns when he's not high on meth.

I can't proceed with evaluation and treatment if he is legally incapable of consenting to it.

He was in altered mental status, blood pressure and heart rate markedly elevated. I told him to return when he comes back down.

He was cool about it. I told him I'll give him 100% when he's able to consent to treatment.

I'm happy to be practicing healthcare for the homeless again. But it has its pitfalls...

It's the Election campaign all over again. Trump is doing everything he can think of to get thrown

out of office. Just the same way he did every filthy, disgusting, squalid thing he could think of during the campaign in an effort to get removed from the ticket.

It's not working.

His slavering, knuckle-dragging supporters just eat it all up and come galloping back for more.

Friday Night Moscow Mule Buzz. Ask me anything.

I couldn't find hard ginger ale for love or money at the store, so I substituted hard lime seltzer instead. it tasted okay. But it really needs something sweet to offset the vodka.

Anyway, helped it all along with some THC...

About Aristus

I truly believe that we will all live in peace and brotherhood someday. And so that I don't lose my faith in humanity, I will live my life as if that day had already happened.
