It is nearly 4am and I am wide awake. Not because I'm over-caffeinated or over-slept from yesterday, but because my dose of normal oxycontin has me ready to yak all over. Sometimes I wish I actually could just puke and be done with it, but having never actually experienced the sensation (see nissen fundoplication) I'm not sure. It's got to be better than seemingly incurable waves of nausea followed by the occasional worthless gag or heave. Sorry to be graphic, I'm just so spent with this whole "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" healing process...
If you give the girl IVs, you might shut down her kidneys.
But if you stop IVs, she might have a fungus in her brain that could eat its way into a main artery, so then you have to just give her antifungal meds and lots of fluids to protect her kidneys.
But if you give her antifungal meds, they'll cause lots of side effects that can make the girl's throat and neck hurt, back ache, and tummy flip.
So then you have to give her other meds to make the side effects stop.
But those meds have side effects of their own, like being really nauseated, and so then you have to give her other meds to treat those side effects.
But then those meds have side effects that make her loopy and tired, so she sleeps all day and gets cranky that she's doing nothing but sleeping all day.
Plus, she's supposed to eat every time she takes the antifungals in the first place, but who wants to eat a "high fat meal or snack" - even ice cream - when the meds to treat the fungus that hurt the kidneys that have the side effects that require the meds that have the side effects that make you nauseous which require other meds that have the side effects that make you sleepy?
But if she doesn't eat the meal or snack she'll get sick when she takes the antifungal which won't work without the food so it defeats the purpose of taking it and still hurts the kidneys which are retaining fluid and making her face fat.
So you better know what you're doing before you give the girl IV's...
