NYT: My Fellow Liberals Are Exaggerating the Dangers of Ron DeSantis

[Irish_Dem]

52. I was once on Fentanyl and Vicodin in the hospital.

I had a serious fall down some stairs and fractured my spine in several places,
had extensive surgery to pin it all back together.
There were some complications and it was quite painful.

The Vicodin was making me quite loopy but I was still in pain so the doctor put me on fentanyl which completely knocked me out. My daughter was there when they gave me the fentanyl in my IV. I remember none of this.

She said I was talking to her normally and then when the Fentanyl hit, I just passed out. Like I was dead.
She is a nurse practitioner so took my pulse and I was still alive.

I came to about six hours later and begged them never to give me fentanyl again.
I have no idea why people would take this recreationally.

Vicodin, doggie tranqs, and booze would probably kill me.
